Liverpool player ratings vs Nottingham Forest

The last time Nottingham Forest won at Anfield was in 1969. So, the task for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men was humongous. But, they delivered. Liverpool lost to Nottingham Forest after 65 years thanks to a stunner from Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Liverpool had 70% possession in the game. They also had 14 shots at Forest’s goal with 5 shorts on target. However, they failed to breakdown Nottingham’s defence and this resulted in the first-ever defeat for Arne Slot as the manager of Liverpool. So, how did Liverpool players perform in this Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest game in the Premier League? Here are the Liverpool player ratings vs Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool player ratings vs Nottingham Forest

Let’s start this Liverpool player ratings vs Nottingham Forest in the Premier League with the goalkeeper Alisson (6/10). As expected, Alisson didn’t have much to do in this game and he also couldn’t do anything for the goal Liverpool conceded.

In the defence of Liverpool, Trend Alexander-Arnold (6/10) did play some good passes in the game but was found wanting at times. Ibrahima Konate (7/10) did well defensively and was physical in front of the Forest attack. Virgil van Dijk (7/10) produced a solid performance against Chris Wood. Andy Robertson (6/10) didn’t face too much threat defensively and provided nothing going forward.

As far as the midfield goes for Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest, Ryan Gravenberch (7/10) had an excellent game as the defensive midfielder. Alexis Mac Allister (7/10) also did a wonderful job creatively as well as defensively. Dominik Szoboszlai (4/10) had a disappointing game as he wasted so many great opportunities.

When it comes to the attack for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah (4/10) was a disappointment in this game after his heroics at Old Trafford. His passing, finishing, and creating a threat, everything looked off today. Diogo Jota (5/10) didn’t look sharp and had three shots in the game. Luis Diaz (6/10) did hit the post early in the game. However, he was not at his sharpest.

For the substitutes, Darwin Nunez (5/10) came on for Jota and tried his best. Cody Gakpo (5/10) came on for Luis Diaz but failed to offer much. Conor Bradley (6/10) came on and played as the right-back giving Trent the freedom to play in the centre of the park. Kostas Tsimikas (5/10) came on for Robertson and didn’t provide much either. Curtis Jones (5/10) came on for Konate to provide more going forward but failed. The Liverpool manager Arne Slot (4/10) was tactically outclassed today as he had no answers to Nuno’s counter-attacking game.
