Overview
- Nottingham Forest won 3-0 at Anfield, handing Liverpool a sixth defeat in their last seven Premier League matches.
- Arne Slot replaced centre-back Ibrahima Konaté with striker Hugo Ekitike in the 55th minute with Liverpool 2-0 down, but the attacking gamble did not change the result.
- BBC Radio 5 Live pundit Paul Robinson criticised Konaté’s display and highlighted holes across Liverpool’s back line.
- Supporters on social media called for Slot to be sacked following the defeat, though the club has not announced any managerial change.
- Konaté drew heavy online criticism, with Football Insider reporting he has rejected three contract offers as injuries leave Liverpool short of senior centre-back options.
