Arne Slot admits Liverpool’s loss to Nottingham Forest is ‘a big setback’

Liverpool coach Arne Slot lamented his team’s lack of opportunities when they lost 1-0 at home against Nottingham Forest.

Slott tasted defeat for the first time as Reds manager, with his men falling at home to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.

Callum Hudson-Odoi came off the bench and scored the only goal in the match where the hosts had the ball, but they could not convert that advantage into meaningful opportunities.

Liverpool were in terrific form before the international break, keeping clean sheets in all their victories, including a 3-0 thrashing of rivals Manchester United.

But Slot admitted that this blow will hit his team hard.

When asked if this was a big setback to Liverpool’s ‘process’, the Dutchman replied: “Not in the process, but it’s a big setback.

“If you lose in a home game, it’s always an uphill battle, especially when you’re facing a team…we never know if they’ll fight for Champions League tickets, but usually this team doesn’t end up at the top. 10, so when you lose a game against them it’s very disappointing though, they were organized and well organized today.

“I want to see the same attitude every day: after a big win, after a small win, after a draw, after a loss. It’s just that we go out to work and tomorrow, we analyze what we did well and what we didn’t do. don’t do well.

“There are enough things we could have improved in the Man United game, that’s what we showed them again. We showed them a few good things, and tomorrow will be the same as tomorrow.

“But this is a different game than the one we have played so far because we were facing a low block, the team we were facing played very low and because of that we had a lot of balls but we couldn’t create. too much.”
