Alisson Becker has taken aim at his Liverpool teammates after the Reds’ surprise defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Arne Slot suffered his first defeat as head coach at Anfield as Callum Hudson-Odoi’s goal proved to be enough to give the visitors a 1-0 victory against a misfiring Liverpool side.

Having returned from the international break looking to extend a perfect record after three straight wins, the Reds looked all out of sorts.



The likes of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai all struggled to even play the simplest of passes.

And summing up the defeat, Alisson didn’t hold back in his assessment of his teammates, pointing the finger of blame at the substitutes and his defenders for making it to easy for Hudson-Odoi to beat him from distance.

“We didn’t manage to play better – when we made the subs – with the ball,” Alisson, told Sky Sports.

“We didn’t create so many clear chances.

Because they defended really well but also a little bit of poor football from our side today.

“We didn’t adapt quick enough.

Liverpool's players including Mohamed Salah were slated for Saturday's performance against Nottingham Forest.

Having resisted the urge to make changes to his side on Saturday, Slot will likely be looking at some adjustments this time around, especially with the fixtures now coming thick and fast.

Liverpool was just so poor on Saturday, and it just felt like it was never going to be the Reds’ day once Hudson-Odoi put Forest ahead.

Watching Salah, a player who had been in scintillating form during the opening three games, constantly pass the ball behind his teammates just summed Liverpool’s performance up, with not one player coming away with any credit
