Liverpool FC head coach Arne Slot took centre stage and took the blame upon himself after Liverpool lost yet another Premier League clash, sustaining a 0-3 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield.

The Reds now sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table after repeating the one feat from last season they would’ve wanted to avoid

The Swede was largely anonymous in a 3–0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday at Anfield. He logged just 14 touches of the ball, was dispossessed twice and failed to register a shot on target. Isak came off in the 68th minute as the lowest rated player (5.5), per FotMob. Less than ideal for the most expensive player in Premier League history.

Wataru Endo is fighting a losing battle for game time at Liverpool, with the problem now extending to his duties as captain of the Japan national team too. Endo was used regularly last season as Arne Slot ‘s ‘closer’, making 32 appearances for Liverpool though only clocking 865 minutes on the pitch.
