I don't mind if this match liverpool was struiggling to get points but i think this will be different in the upcoming game. Didn't you aware how nottingham forest was always creating the wall? The low block team is the most difficult team to be beaten caused by they were playing passively without even caring what result they will get.
This serious defensive strategy can cause difficulty for many clubs, not only Liverpool. Good signals from this match are Liverpool created many good opportunities and it shown their attacking system works well.
There are bad signals that Liverpool players did not shot well enough and in this match, Darwin Nunez rescued them in very last seconds but in future, they must avoid such situation. If this continues, Liverpool will lose points in future because they will not always get a late winning goal.
A draw will affect their competitiveness against Manchester City and Arsenal a lot and they must avoid losing points to weak teams.
without moh salah the creativity and variety of liverpool's attack is slightly reduced. only against a weak team notingham forest was made difficult to score goals. for whatever reason the opponent applies negative football this means super devensif. but nottingham forest is a weak team, unless the opponent is a strong team and the opponent does defensive football difficulty scoring goals is normal but this is only against a weak team nottingham forest.
