A tough weekend for all Liverpool fans after the 1-0 defeat at Anfield by Nottingham Forest. Arne Slot receives his first loss at home with his new club and this ends his perfect three-win streak from the start of the new season in the league.
The Reds conceded a brilliant goal by Callum Hudson-Odoi in the 72nd minute after an amazing dribble and shot outside the box to leave Alisson with no chance of saving the ball.
After the match, Arne Slot had some words to the press about his first Premier League defeat. He said that the result frustrates him the most and it’s normal to be mad about how bad the game went. Slot feels it was a stop-start game without creating chances by the Reds.
He continues to give other reasons for the poor performance, like the loss of possession a lot of times around the era, and that should not happen if they want to compete for trophies.
The Dutch manager feels that Liverpool’s crucial decisions during the match weren’t good enough so they could score one past Nottingham Forest, but on the other hand, he thinks that the defense did a good job, except when the two fast players like Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga came in and made it difficult.
Some words about the defeat came from Liverpool’s Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson who wasn’t happy with Nottingham Forest’s style of play. He thinks that the opponent didn’t try to win the game but only defended and played for the long ball.
But the opponent wasn’t the only one to blame, he said that the team lacked energy the whole match and that they gave the ball so easily when Callum Hudson-Odoi scored.
Now Liverpool has to focus on their next away match which will be played in the stadium of AC Milan, San Siro. The Reds are back in UEFA Champions League and now they want to show that they are capable of winning it for the seventh time.
