The first part of John Aldridge's ECHO column calls for Arne Slot and his Liverpool squad to get back to basics as a huge few weeks await on the other side of the international breakLiverpool have too many bad habits and if they are to get back up the table on the other side of yet another international break, then they have to go back to square one. Right now, Arne Slot's side are needing to score too many goals to win games and going gung-ho has caught them out too many times already this season.If you look back to last season, when Slot's side were piecing together their ultimately successful title run, it was based on clean sheets.

Then Manchester City were visited and that all went out the window for whatever reason.READ MORE: Liverpool could lose Mohamed Salah earlier than hoped as crunch AFCON talks continueREAD MORE: Arne Slot urged to make major Liverpool change as Alexander Isak prediction madeBut to get back to winning ways, Slot and his players have to adopt the same approach they did for those games at Anfield before the break against Real Madrid and Aston Villa. Liverpool need to find their way back and get something going because we're about a third into the season and too many games have been lost already.You can guarantee Nottingham Forest are going to come to town under Sean Dyche with no airs or graces.

That has to stop now.Liverpool can be sure to be in for a battle on Saturday and how they handle that side of the game will go a long way towards them being able to outplay their visitors on the day.Beat them 1-0 and that is all they need to do. Then it is on to the next and trying to build up some momentum and confidence to get back to the sort of standard we saw so often last season.And hey, it's fair to say we owe Forest one too after they won at Anfield last season.Too many robots on the modern pitchIt was clear to me that Mohamed Salah was bullied by Manchester City before the international break.The Liverpool winger was doubled up on all game and I have no doubt about it that those instructions will have come from Pep Lijnders, the former assistant of Jurgen Klopp, who now works alongside Pep Guardiola at City.Lijnders will have known better than anyone else on the City staff how best to counteract Salah and the instruction, clearly for me, was to try and wrestle him.
