Liverpool is exhausted, losing 0-3 in two consecutive matches: 'Coach Arne Slot is about to be fired'

Despite fielding their strongest lineup, Liverpool still had a terrible first half.

Liverpool started the season on a high note, winning 5 consecutive matches, but from the 6th round, they started to decline rapidly. The "Red Brigade" showed inconsistent performance, losing matches in an inexplicable way, causing the gap between them and the leading team, Arsenal, to now be up to 8 points. Even more disappointing, in the previous round, Liverpool showed a weak performance, losing 0-3 to Man City.

Therefore, in the match against Nottingham Forest in round 12, coach Arne Slot launched a very strong lineup. Stars like Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Dominik Szoboszlai were still used. In particular, 2 people who had just returned from injury, Isak and goalkeeper Alisson Becker, were also surprisingly in the starting lineup.

However, the goals that coach Arne Slot set in the first half were completely unsuccessful. Although Liverpool was the proactive team in this half, holding the ball for nearly 80% of the time, they still made the fans at Anfield completely disappointed. Liverpool launched 10 shots but only 2 were on target, unable to penetrate Nottingham Forest's net. Worse for Liverpool, in the 33rd minute, Jeison Murillo scored against Alisson Becker, putting the away team 1-0 ahead of Liverpool.

Disaster continued in the second half, Liverpool lost 0-3

After a disappointing first half, Liverpool sent more strikers such as Federico Chiesa, Hugo Ekitike and 17-year-old talent Rio Ngumoha onto the field. But just like the first half, Liverpool were completely deadlocked, unable to approach Nottingham Forest's penalty area. On the right wing, Salah tried to make breakthroughs but to no avail. Meanwhile, Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo were constantly in a state of "starving for the ball".

Focusing too much on the attacking front, withdrawing defenders to compensate for the striker position, left Liverpool's home field exposed many gaps. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nottingham Forest scored 2 more goals in the 46th and 78th minutes, sealing a surprising 3-0 victory at Anfield. The scorers for Nottingham Forest were Nicolò Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White respectively.

Losing 0-3 at home, Liverpool fell to 11th place in the rankings. More importantly, this was the second consecutive match in the Premier League that Liverpool lost 0-3. Currently, the gap between them and the top team Arsenal is 8 points, but Liverpool has played 1 more match. On the opposite side, Nottingham Forest has 12 points, rising to 16th place.

After Liverpool's disastrous defeat, The Guardian (UK) commented: "Liverpool's most loyal fans also ran out of patience, leaving before the match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest ended. With hundreds of millions of pounds spent last summer, they are wondering what coach Arne Slot did to make the Liverpool team so exhausted, playing so shamefully right at home. The chants of coach Arne Slot will be fired tomorrow morning appeared again in the stands. If things continue like this, coach Arne Slot's dismissal is only a matter of time."
