November, 22 2025 - The Reds endured another disheartening result, slumping to a 3-0 loss against Nottingham Forest at Anfield. Liverpool began brightly, launching a series of attacks, but it was the visitors who struck first in the 33rd minute through Murillo.
The 23-year-old Brazilian pounced on a rebound from an Elliot Anderson corner kick. Forest maintained the momentum, though Igor Jesus' goal was disallowed just two minutes later. The home side's push to level before halftime fell flat, with Forest's defense repelling Liverpool's forwards. Even with five minutes of added time in the first half, neither team found the net again.
Seconds into the second half, the visitors doubled their advantage as Neco Williams threaded a pass to Nicolo Savona, who slotted the ball past a helpless Alisson with ease. Liverpool dictated play for the next 15 minutes, recycling short passes in search of an opening.
But Forest's backline stood firm, snuffing out a flurry of dangerous crosses from Arne Slot's charges. Ten minutes in, Slot sought to sharpen his attack, withdrawing defender Ibrahima Konaté for French striker Hugo Ekitiké.

For all their efforts, the Reds squandered chance after chance. In the 78th minute, Omari Hutchinson dazzled the Liverpool defense before unleashing a shot. Moments later, midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White twisted the knife, curling a sublime effort into the bottom-left corner to seal a 3-0 rout.
By then, the game was Forest's to lose. Nuno Espírito Santo played it safe regardless, introducing Ryan Yates and Callum Hudson-Odoi for Igor Jesus and Ndoye to shore up control—a shrewd move that paid dividends.
It was a woeful outing for the Reds, who bossed possession yet departed empty-handed. With four defeats in their last five outings, Arne Slot faces mounting scrutiny, and whispers of a potential sacking wouldn't shock anyone.
