Overview
- Nottingham Forest won 3-0 at Anfield through goals from Murillo, Nicolo Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White, handing Liverpool a sixth league defeat in 12 matches and leaving them 11th.
- Chants about Arne Slot being sacked rang out as pundits and sections of the fanbase questioned his position during what is now eight losses in 11 across all competitions.
- Slot accepted full responsibility for the team’s form, acknowledging Liverpool "hardly created anything" after falling behind and insisting the results are "far from good enough."
- Captain Virgil van Dijk said players are "letting the manager and ourselves down," highlighting repeated concessions of "easy" set‑piece and second‑ball goals and a loss of composure after setbacks.
- With a £450m summer overhaul under scrutiny, injuries have forced makeshift selections such as Dominik Szoboszlai at right‑back, Tom Werner observed the defeat, and Jurgen Klopp has urged patience ahead of a midweek Champions League tie against PSV.
