‘It was poor’: Alisson takes aim at Liverpool teammates after Nottingham Forest defeat
Liverpool failed to continue their good start to the season by losing 1-0 at home 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.
Alisson Becker who was in goal for the match has voiced out his frustration, taken aim at his Liverpool teammates.
Speaking about 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 too 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. We conceded three counter-attacks before we conceded a goal on a counter-attack. We should defend it better in those situations.
“Hudson-Odoi had too much freedom to do whatever he wanted with the ball, dribbling inside and shooting. It was poor defending from us.”
Allison and his Liverpool teammates will be looking to bounce back when the Reds begin their Champions League campaign at AC Milan on Tuesday. Arne Slot is likely to make some changes to his squad but Allison will keep his place.
