"Liverpool's disastrous afternoon at Anfield drew a sharp response from former England captain Wayne Rooney, who didn't hold back in his assessment of Arne Slot's struggling side following their 3-0 home defeat to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest. Before the international break, the Reds suffered a 3-0 defeat against Manchester City. Although it was a disastrous result for Arne Slot's side, it was still somewhat acceptable since it came against a team that is competing for the Premier League title."
"Forest were outstanding defensively. They were really organised and putting their bodies on the line; we know that's what you get from a Sean Dyche team. Then they were effective on the break as well and caused Liverpool problems. Early on Liverpool had a few good chances and Anderson got a couple of excellent blocks in, but once Forest got the first goal, they looked like they didn't have any answers. Forest looked comfortable."
Liverpool suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield, a result that contrasted with an earlier loss to Manchester City. Nottingham Forest displayed disciplined defending, strong organisation, and effective counter-attacks that unsettled Liverpool. Early Liverpool chances were blocked, but once Forest took the lead Liverpool failed to respond and looked bereft of solutions. The defeat was Liverpool's sixth in seven Premier League matches, increasing scrutiny of tactics and decision-making under manager Arne Slot. Nottingham Forest produced one of their best performances, with Murillo, Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White among the scorers.
