Liverpool had earlier taken the lead through Florian Wirtz, but the home side were unable to capitalise.
Despite dominating possession and producing 32 shots on the Burnley goal, the Clarets remained resolute and held firm on Merseyside.
The full-time whistle was met with boos by the Anfield faithful, who have been left frustrated with their side’s weak title defence this season.
When asked if he can understand the fans’ frustration, Slot replied: “Yes. In my head it wasn't a boo, but in my head it was frustration as well.
“If we are Liverpool and we play against Burnley, which we have to give them credit for how they defended, cleared balls off the line, all the things you want to see. If you are a Burnley manager, players that try to do everything to prevent us from scoring.

“I completely understand the frustration. I can tell you I have the same and the players definitely have the same frustration as the fans.”
Slot added: “I think there was one big warning sign when we almost scored a non-goal.
“That chance and the goal we conceded came from similar situations, where we wanted to try to bring the ball out from the back. We were caught in possession. Twice it led to a dangerous situation.
“I think those were the only moments where we struggled, but that was inside five minutes, so it felt like we were having a bit of a more difficult spell in the game.
"In a similar way, we conceded those two chances, but during the whole game I think we did really well in a combination of bringing the ball out from the back and playing a bit more direct.
"But it was a great finish from a position from which I think we had many better positions to score from, but that's football and we have to accept that.”
