After the victories against Manchester City (1-0) and against West Ham (1-0), for Liverpool the worst ghost of their black season in the Premier returned this Saturday and lost to Nottingham Forest, the lowest team, at City Ground (1-0). Taiwo Awoniyi is the hero of the historic Forest in his goal, but in reality all of Steve Cooper’s players are. Meanwhile, Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool have accumulated errors, including its main stars, starting with Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool’s problems in attack were evident in the first half. And usually he is also missing Thiago Alcánatara, down with an infection. In the offensive aspect, to the injury of Diogo Jota added the absence of Darwin Núñez, who has physical problems, and who is growing: three goals in the last four games.
But it was in the second half that the nightmare ended for Jürgen Klopp’s men. In the 55th minute, Awoniyi scored, who played in the lower categories of Liverpool and decided against the ‘reds’ by taking advantage of the ball that he himself sent to the post. And the play was born of a foul in itself.
Liverpool lacked the power to turn the game around. He encountered a unique Dean Henderson, which was shown in several stops, such as a shot by Harvey Elliott, perhaps the best of the ‘red’ with Alisson Becker. Because there is no doubt that the Brazilian goalkeeper avoided a heavier defeat for his team.
Not only did Alisson prevent more goals at Nottingham Forest. So did James Milner by keeping Awoniyi himself from scoring his side’s second after a mistake by Joe Gomez.
Alisson saved Johnson from scoring after a play dominated by Kouyaté, just as he frustrated another action by Kouyaté himself. Meanwhile, attempts and more attempts by Liverpool to beat Dean Henderson. But the ‘red’ team is pure aimlessness.
A shot from Alexander-Arnold was saved by Henderson and the ball was sent wide by Salah. And it was Henderson himself who first prevented Van Dijk from equalizing and then Salah did it. Epically, looking for a miracle like in the West Brom field, Alisson stepped up to finish. He was unsuccessful and left the goal empty. Johnson hit the ball against the post.
Party of Nottingham Forest, bottom of the Premier: they have won none other than Liverpool, who have not been able to win away from home in this black season in which they starred in the English championship.
