"This is what I expected to happen last season, After Jurgen Klopp left, I thought there would be an effect on the team -- a negative one. There wasn't. They ended up winning the league. Right time is a time for patience. People, pundits, everyone will be going crazy -- 'sack the manager!' Be calm, take your time, make sure you assess."
"It was the most difficult preseason imaginable for those players. I am not making excuses for them. Arne Slot alluded to it this week. The new signings have come in and haven't bedded in well. Alexander Isak went on strike, has it affected him? There are so many negative right now. They are in a real rut. To lose 3-0 at home is a problem for them. But you've got to be patient right now. Slot deserves that after what he did last year."
"We concede too many easy goals, In the first half an hour we were good, we created good opportunities. They scored, obviously, from a set-piece again. You can yourself if he was in front of Alisson but it counted so we were 1-0 down. Overall I think we were just not good in terms of battles, challenges, second-ball fights. We were too rushed. It's a very difficult situation at the moment. A tough day."
Liverpool were beaten 3-0 at Anfield by Nottingham Forest, marking their sixth defeat in seven matches and leaving them in the bottom half of the Premier League amid a worrying run. Jamie Redknapp urged patience for manager Arne Slot, recalling expected negative effects after Jurgen Klopp's departure and praising Slot's previous achievements. Redknapp pointed to the tragic death of Diogo Jota, a difficult preseason, new signings not bedding in, and Alexander Isak's missed penalty as contributing factors. Virgil van Dijk admitted the team concedes too many easy goals, struggles in physical battles and second-ball duels, and faces a very difficult situation.
