“Another big disappointment. We started well, but after conceding the first goal we couldn’t play like we did in the first half hour,” lamented the coach.

The ‘Reds’, whose six defeats have come in the last seven matches of the English Championship, have dropped to 11th place and are provisionally eight points behind leaders Arsenal, who will face Tottenham (7th) on Sunday in the North London derby.

“We’re all disappointed, as we should be, because losing at home to Nottingham Forest is, in my opinion, very bad,” said Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk to Premier League media.

Brazilian stands out

The Brazilian Murillo (33′) opened the scoring after a corner, and his Forest compatriot Igor Jesus even found the net seconds later, but the goal was disallowed for handball.

The second half couldn’t have started worse for the home team, when Italian Nicolo Savona (46′) silenced Anfield by beating Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who was returning to the pitch after an injury at the end of September.

Liverpool failed to create any clear goal chances, and the team led by Sean Dyche scored again, with a beautiful play by Morgan Gibbs-White inside the box (78′).
