‘I was completely wrong’ – Arne Slot makes honest Liverpool team talk admission after Nottingham

Liverpool’s incredible recovery in the second half against Nottingham Forest, which defied the halftime warning to his players, was hailed by Arne Slot. Chris Wood’s early shot was erased by substitute Diogo Jota’s goal on minute 66, giving the Reds a 1-1 Premier League draw at the City Ground on Tuesday night. Title contenders Chelsea and Manchester City were also held on the evening, and the outcome kept Liverpool’s six-point advantage over Forest at the top of the table. After the break, Slot’s squad dominated, and the home team owed it to a string of outstanding saves from goalie Matz Sels.

The Liverpool manager was thrilled with the attitude and caliber of his players in the second half, even if his team lost for the fourth time in their previous seven games.Slot remarked, “Today, I couldn’t have asked for more.” “I’m more optimistic about the second half than the first half, and I believe that most people discuss it.”However, we only gave up one counterattack in 98 minutes of complete dominance, which was bad for us because this squad is in such good form, rarely gives up a chance in any game, and has so many counterattack threats.

“We had numerous opportunities in the second half as a result of our ball possession. The way Forest defended is commendable; they put themselves in front of everything and had a goalie who has had an incredible season so far this year and today.At halftime, I told them not to get frustrated since they wouldn’t have many chances and the game would likely be slow. Instead, they should concentrate on their tasks, and hopefully we’ll have two or three chances. Let’s attempt to score from them.

“However, they created chance after chance, so I was totally mistaken.” “We wanted three points, but we were down 1-0 and it was really difficult to score against this team,” Slot continued. “What I want, what the fans should want, and what the players want is that they give it their all, and that’s what the players did today in addition to playing fantastic football in the second half.”Jota’s goal came after he was substituted for Ibrahima Konate and headed in a corner from Kostas Tsimikas, who had also been brought on at the same time.
