Alisson Becker aims dig at Nottingham Forest tactics in shock defeat
Share this post:

Alisson Becker, goalkeeper for Liverpool, had a veiled jab at the strategies Nottingham Forest used to win shockingly at Anfield.

With a 1-0 victory, Callum Hudson-Odoi’s outstanding finish gave Forest its first Merseyside triumph in the red half in fifty-five years.

The Reds were predicted to extend their winning streak to four games after their perfect start to life under Arne Slot. However, they faced resolute opponents who neutralized the Reds’ star-studded attack.

To Alisson’s dismay, Slot tried to invigorate his front line with the additions of Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, but it was a Forest replacement who made the game-winning difference.

“It was a shame, losing points at home is not good at all but the opponent today only wanted to defend and play for the long ball.

‘We gave them that too easily when they scored, it was poor defensively from us,’ said the Brazil international.

‘We couldn’t create much, we had a lack of quality today, we needed more energy. It is three points we have lost today unnecessarily.

‘All the opportunities we had were not clear enough and they defended great, they threw themselves in front of the ball.’

This was Liverpool’s first match after an international break and it appeared to show as passes went astray with alarming regularity, the connections built up previously becoming severed quite quickly.

Liverpool had 10 players who played the full 90 minutes in both games for their international teams and the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Luis Diaz travelled back from South America.

RECOMMENDED  Reason VAR did not ask Michael Oliver to look at Arsenal penalty decision vs Liverpool

However, that is not out of the ordinary and Slot did not look to find excuses.

‘It’s always difficult, but I don’t think it had anything to do with it,’ said.

‘Players came back strong and I saw today a team that wanted to fight until the end. That wasn’t to do with energy.

‘If you look at the goals we scored until now, we scored quite a few from transition moments from winning the ball back, but the other team (Forest) played over our press a lot with a lot of long balls.

‘It wasn’t good enough today because too many individual performances in ball possession were not up to the standards that I’m used to from these players.’
