Liverpool’s dream start to the Premier League season—three wins, zero goals conceded—crashed in stunning fashion as Nottingham Forest claimed their first victory at Anfield since 1969. Despite dominating possession (70%), the Reds faltered, with manager Arne Slot bluntly calling the performance 'not up to standard.'
Where Did It Go Wrong? 🤯
Forest’s Callum Hudson-Odoi curled a 72nd-minute winner past Alisson, capitalizing on Liverpool’s sloppy passes and missed connections. 'Too many individual performances were below the level I expect,' Slot admitted, highlighting struggles against Forest’s long-ball tactics. Luis Diaz’s early shot against the post was Liverpool’s best chance, but creativity fizzled afterward.
No Excuses, Just Setbacks 🚨
Slot dismissed the impact of the international break, which sidelined 10 players: 'The team fought, but we lost too many simple balls.' With just 3-4 clear chances created despite 70% possession, he called the loss a 'big setback.' Fans are left wondering: Can the Reds bounce back? 🔄
