Liverpool's campaign under Arne Slot has hit a troubling phase following a decisive home defeat to Nottingham Forest. The Reds conceded three unanswered goals in a performance that extended their concerning form, coming on the heels of another 3-0 loss to Manchester City before the international break.

This consecutive heavy defeat marks an unusual setback for the club, representing the first time since 1965 that Liverpool has suffered back-to-back league losses by three or more goals. The historical parallel places this difficult period in stark contrast to the successful Bill Shankly era, when the club last experienced such a sequence.

The team's current league position reflects these challenges, with Liverpool now sitting outside the Premier League's top ten after twelve matches. Occupying 11th place, the Merseyside club faces the immediate threat of being surpassed by their historic rivals, Everton.
