We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Liverpool and Burnley.

Here are some of your comments:

Liverpool fans

Ken: Incredibly frustrating result after an increasingly tepid performance. Gone is the intensity that has been Liverpool's hallmark in recent years. At one point at 1-0, Dominik Szoboszlai decided not to launch a counter-attack and that sums up this Arne Slot team - devoid of killer instinct and risk-averse.

Grant: At this point, the opposition doesn't matter. We have coach who is not aligned with this team, a captain who shows no leadership on the pitch and players who don't take any responsibility. This is not the Liverpool we know.

TJ: The longer the game went on, the more predictable and less adventurous we became. There were far too many slow, square passes, and when we did finally try to penetrate Burnley's 'low block', the receiving player invariably had their back to the goal, rather than on the half-turn. Consequently, it's a catalogue of attempted flicks that rarely create scoring opportunities. It's hardly 'edge of your seat' stuff. Come on, Liverpool. Entertain us...

Satnam: This is a team that plays the Slot way. It's dire, drab and dull. He won us a league and forever will be remembered for that, but he does not have a clue how to get us out of the current situation. Results over the 2025 calendar year and start of 2026 have not been good enough on the whole.

Burnley fans

Alex: A draw is probably not enough, but we showed fight and that counts for a lot to the fans. Running their backsides off, throwing their bodies at shots - that's what we want to see!

Neil: Superb. Full of fight and endeavour. If we are going down, this is the way to do it.

Paul: Defended well. Yet another soft penalty, but fortunate that he missed. Showed a bit of spirit in the second half. We have proved we can be dangerous and are a better team than our position suggests. It's just a very tough league to win matches in.

KC: Tenacious... kept Liverpool at bay.

Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom says he is unsure how long first-choice goalkeeper Daniel Iversen will be on the sidelines but has challenged Jack Walton to seize his opportunity to shine.

Iversen picked up a groin injury in training this week leading to Walton taking over between the sticks in the 1-0 defeat against Derby County at Deepdale.

Speaking to BBC Radio Derby, Heckingbottom challenged Walton to grab the opportunity with both hands while Iversen is on the sidelines.

"Obviously he's played two seasons up at Dundee and got promotion there and did really well. It is a big opportunity for him," he said.

"We have played him in the Cup games and it has been a while since we have played him in the first team (league) games but that is what he is here for."

Heckingbottom admitted the result was a disappointment as was his side's failure to capitalise on the chances they created.

"I thought we coped with them [Derby] well.

"They are a big side an aggressive side. It was exactly as I thought it would be but the moments we needed to capitalise on, we couldn't.

"Our best opportunities came on the counter but we never really really resulted in an end pass or a shot."

As Anfield emptied out, the Burnley players and their travelling supporters celebrated jubilantly.

West Ham's win at Spurs was bad news for the Clarets' slim survival hopes, but this result was a rare moment of joy in an otherwise tough season for Scott Parker's side.

They are yet to keep an away clean sheet and are winless in their past 13, but showed great spirit to earn a point at the champions.

On another day, Burnley could have been three or four goals down by the time they scored, but they showed courage and took advantage of Liverpool's sloppiness.

After failing to score or assist in any of his first six Premier League appearances for the club, Edwards has three goal involvements in his past six games (one goal, two assists).

The visitors also had Dubravka to thank for limiting Liverpool with a string of crucial saves.

In all probability, Burnley look unlikely to stay up - but they have now only lost two of their past six league games (drawn four), having lost seven in a row before that.

Burnley boss Scott Parker speaking to Match of the Day: "The discipline we showed today, the commitment and the bravery and courage. We caused Liverpool problems. Overall we were superb. It's fair to say over the course of this season we have been competitive in the majority of games we have played. The points don't represent that, but today is a massive point for us.

"The first half there were certain things that we needed to change. One of those things was our positioning and the element of being braver and more courageous. First half was tough for us. Second half we were brilliant, brave and created a couple of very good chances."

On Marcus Edwards' goal: "Massive for Marcus. Unbelievable finish and a well-worked goal. He was a bright light, especially in the second half. I asked the team to try and leave a mark today and they did that to a man."

On picking up points against the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United: "Massive points. Our season probably won't be decided on games like today or Manchester United at home. But you want to pick up points against those teams and we have done that. We need to continue that."

Burnley have picked up three draws in their past five league games so they have not given up the fight against the drop, but they have now gone 12 league games without a win and you have to think they have had it.

You still don't really know what kind of performance you are going to get from Liverpool, and they huffed and puffed a little bit to get past Barnsley in the FA Cup, but I am still going to back them here.

Liverpool needed a stoppage-time Mohamed Salah penalty to win at Turf Moor in September, but I can see it being a lot more comfortable for Arne Slot's side this time.

I remember when Burnley boss Scott Parker lost 9-0 with Bournemouth at Anfield in 2022 and was sacked the next day.

I don't see his side shipping as many goals this time, but Parker is going to be under pressure until the Clarets win again. Maybe that will happen when they are at home to Tottenham next week, because they are not getting anything here.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0
