Liverpool slumped to another utterly miserable defeat when they were beaten at home by lowly Nottingham Forest. Murillo scored a controversial opener in the first half for the visitors before Nicola Savona scored immediately after half-time and Morgan Gibbs-White notched late on to earn an easy 3-0 win.
The result means Arne Slot‘s side have now lost six of their last seven league games on an afternoon where the home crowd aired their frustrations at the underperforming players.
Alisson Becker 6
Couldn’t do much about the Forest goals – and decent save from Hutchison in the build-up to the third – and held a long-ranger from Murillo before break.
Dominik Szoboszlai 6
Did well enough at right-back but much more effective when drifting into central positions. Some decent moments linking with Salah.
Ibrahima Konate 4
Erratic distribution and hesitant defending made for an alarming first-half showing. Sacrificed after Forest went 2-0 up.
Virgil van Dijk 5
Can only do so much to make up for the lack of quality of those around him in defence. His increasingly perplexed reactions suggested he was not impressed.
Milos Kerkez 5
Very mixed bag with some decent attacking forays allied to spates of less-than-convincing defending. Subbed.
Ryan Gravenberch 5
Started on the front foot but became bogged down by the slog in midfield. Moved to centre-back as Liverpool chased the game in vain. Booked.
Alexis Mac Allister 5
Should really have scored when Anderson made great headed block and didn’t make the most of some promising situations before disappearing into his shell.
Mohamed Salah 7
Got the better of former team-mate Williams first half and clever feet created some openings. One shot saved, another dragged wide and the only regular attacking threat for Liverpool.
