Liverpool boss Arne Slot bemoaned his side’s lack of chances in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest.
Slot tasted defeat for the first time as Reds bosswith his men falling home beside Nuno Espirito Santo.
Callum Hudson-Odoi came off the bench to score the only goal in a game in which the home side dominated possession but were unable to convert that territorial advantage into meaningful opportunities.
Liverpool were in formidable form before the international break, keeping clean sheets in all three wins, including a memorable 3-0 thrashing of Manchester United.
But Slot has admitted that this time it will hit him hard.
When asked if this is a major setback to Liverpool’s ‘process’, the Dutchman replied: “Not to the process, but it’s a big setback.
“If you lose a game at home it’s always a setback, especially if you’re up against a team… we never know, maybe they’ll go as far as fighting for Champions League spots, but usually this team isn’t finishing at the top .10, so if you lose a game against them it’s a big disappointment, even though they were very well organized and structured 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 going back to work tomorrow, analyzing what we did well and what we done not go well
“There were enough things we could improve on from the Man United game, we showed them that too. We also showed them some good things, and that will be the same tomorrow and tomorrow.
“But this is a different game than we have played so far because we faced a low block, the team we played played very low and as a result of that we had a lot of possession but we couldn’t create. a lot.”
