I can't blame my players — Slot analyses defeat to Nottingham Forest

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has said that the end is in sight for their struggles, despite his side losing their sixth game of the season, with only 12 matches into the campaign. 

The Reds were beaten 3-0 at Anfield by a resurgent Nottingham Forest side, with goals from Murillo, Niccolo Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White sinking Arne Slot's side. 

Despite the defeat, the Dutch tactician noted positives, acknowledging that they played well in certain parts of the game. He also dismissed suggestions that the players were low on confidence, highlighting the chances they created in the game. 

“The first half hour, I think the players did what I was hoping for,” he said. “Played with energy and created chances to go a goal up. 

“The set piece changed the momentum and the goal. I tried to make a couple of changes and adjustments but they didn't work out the way I wanted. It's always my responsibility.

“After we go 1-0, we struggled. I tried to pump them up and give them the information to start the second half well. Immediately, they go 2-0 up. The players kept trying, I can't blame them for that. They blocked every shot we had.

"The solution is not that far away. We created chances in every and it's not as if we give away 10 chances. That will not go on forever but we have to look at ourselves and what we can do better when we concede a goal. Two games in a row, we haven't scored."
