Head Coach reacts to positive point against Reds

Clarets boss Scott Parker said he believed his team showed bravery and courage to come away from Anfield with a valuable point on Saturday afternoon.

Delighted with the second half performance in particular, Parker understood his players would have to weather a storm against Arne Slot's men, but was thrilled with how they stood up to the challenge.

WELL-DESERVED POINT

“It's a massive point for us. I think a well-deserved point to be honest with you. We were brilliant today. We definitely had to weather certain things in the first half for sure.

“The penalty I thought was soft. Getting in at 1-0, tried to fix things a little bit at half-time, in terms of tactically and to encourage us to show a bravery about us, courageousness.

“I understand as a coach you can stand on the side-lines and see things that we need to do better or we need to fix. Sometimes that’s a lot harder when you’re in the arena of Anfield. Full credit to the players for the second half in particular, as second half I thought we were very, very good. I’m delighted for the travelling supporters today.”

MARCUS' MOMENT

“I’m delighted for Marcus. It’s been tough for him, certainly early on in the season where my decisions, no fault of him, my decisions have not gone to him.

“This is someone who has been incredibly professional. Has waited his turn. Some may be critical and certainly Marcus would be, that that time has been a little bit long overdue. But full credit to him he’s given us something again today, you can see that in the attacking phase of the game, he was superb.

“I’m absolutely delighted for him and delighted that he scored today.”

GIVING EVERYTHING

“I tried to explain to the team that they were going to have to go to levels today, in everything that we do, that are beyond everything that we’ve done. You’re coming to Anfield, a team full of massive quality. And we need to understand what this game is going to look like.

“I thought to a man we did every bit of that really. When we were in survival mode what did that look like, when we needed to go the extra yard – we’re going to have to go there. When our legs are failing us, our minds can’t. I thought we did every bit of that, to come out of here with a point, which is massive.”
