"How bad [the result is], that is difficult to measure, but it was very bad of course. Playing at home, losing 3-0, no matter which team you face is, of course, a very, very, very bad result. Unexpected if you look at the first half-hour of the game [because] in my opinion [it was] a good start from us. [I] haven't seen us creating so much in the first half-hour of a game maybe throughout the whole season."
"We had to start the game with a midfielder at right full-back because both of our full-backs are injured. Joe Gomez is also a player who can play there but hasn't trained the whole week. I don't think he was fully ready to start this game. When you're 2-0 down it's not, in my opinion, really necessary to bring in a defender. Normally you prefer, at least that's what I also do, you prefer to bring in players that can score a goal."
Liverpool lost 3-0 at home to Nottingham Forest and now sit 11th in the Premier League. The team conceded sloppy goals despite a strong first half-hour that produced many chances. Arne Slot accepted responsibility for the very bad result and the club's recent dire form. Full-back injuries forced a midfielder to start at right full-back, with Joe Gomez not fully fit after limited training. When 2-0 down Slot prioritized attacking changes, replacing Ibou Konate with Hugo Ekitike to chase goals and later using two midfielders in the last line.
