It's my responsibility' Arne Slot provides honest assessment following Liverpool's thrashing by Nottingham Forest

"The Dutch head coach has been criticised in recent weeks for his response to the side's poor form, blaming opponents for setting up differently against the current title holders. In a game that saw Liverpool register a whopping 74 per cent possession, the suspicion was that Slot might slip into his familiar routine. However, the Liverpool boss appeared keen to put that attitude behind him and own up to his mistakes, even refusing to debate the Reds' calls for offside in one of Forest's goals."

"If things go well or things go badly, it's my responsibility, Slot told BBC MOTD after the game. We weren't able to create enough. I tried to adjust a few things, but it didn't work out. So far, so apologetic. But the Dutchman couldn't resist a slight dig at Sean Dyche's side when asked about conceding the second early in the second half. Of course, it was damaging, Slot said. It was already hard to be 1-0 against a team blocking everything."

"Liverpool recorded their sixth loss of the 12-game-old Premier League season in a disheartening 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield. Murillo, Nicolo Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White administered the hammer blows for the visitors, in only their third victory in this campaign. Arne Slot's side slipped into the bottom half of the table with the result, eight points off league leaders Arsenal, who have a game in hand, seemingly ending the Merseysiders' hopes of retaining their title."

Liverpool suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, their sixth loss in 12 Premier League matches. Murillo, Nicolo Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White scored for Forest in only their third win of the season. The result pushed Arne Slot's side into the bottom half and left them eight points behind leaders Arsenal, who have a game in hand, harming title defence prospects. Slot accepted responsibility, said the team failed to create enough chances, and acknowledged adjustments did not work while declining to contest an offside call. He described conceding early in the second half as damaging against a defensive setup.
