Burnley boss Sean Dyche found plenty of positives from their 3-1 defeat to Liverpool.

After a goalless opening 45 minutes in the Premier League contest, the visitors actually fell behind to Jack Cork's breakthrough.

But James Milner quickly levelled, substitute Roberto Firmino put Liverpool in front and Xherdan Shaqiri sealed the three points in the last minute.

“The mentality and framework and the energy and belief in what we are doing flooded back into the group tonight.

“I made five changes and I felt that was necessary. People sometimes question that, but before we worry too much about tactical shapes, we had to get the right bodies on the pitch tonight.

“There were players who deserved a chance and I'm pretty loyal to the players here, but there comes a time when I have to shake the pack.

“I thought that worked tonight, but of course it can't just be about tonight. Those players have delivered and now it's about taking it forward into the next game.

“Within that came the response from the crowd, which was fantastic.

“I can't think them enough because this is a tough time and we are finding our feet again, but there has to be a heartbeat in the club and that often comes from the fans.

“It's tough for them, especially after last season. We've taken this club a long way; they know that. But there's an inner respect here from the fans and they know we need them going forwards.

“Equally, the players know they've got to deliver to get that fan reaction, but it's not the first time the fans here have had a tough time of it. It's not the first time they've been underdogs and written off, as a town and as a club.

“The only things I ever promised when I came here was sweat on the shirt and one-club mentality.

“Well there's certainly a one-club mentality and tonight there was plenty of sweat on the shirt."
