GK: Alisson - 6.8The Brazilian has had a busy first half, and could do nothing about Forest's opener. He has already been beaten at the back post multiple times and was nowhere to be seen when Ndoye scored the opener down his side.CB: Jacquet - 6.8The 21 year-old dealt with plenty of Forest attacks in the first half and made a fantastic last-ditch block to deny Jesus in the opening stages.CB: Van Dijk - 6.4Much like Anfield, the skipper has looked a little frazzled this half, and was caught out positionally on a couple of occasions.
He has dealt with aerial duels well.LB: Kerkez - 6.4The Hungarian has worked hard down the left-hand side, and has made some good overlapping runs, but looks a little lost with time on the ball. He made a superb block to deny Jesus.CM: Szoboszlai - 6.5Tireless and energetic like he was last weekend, Szoboszlai has been a busy presence in midfield, but must do better to help Liverpool break down this Forest defence.CM: Mac Allister - 6.8The diminutive Argentine has injected bite and creativity into midfield, snapping into tackles and playing some great passes in between the lines.CM: Wirtz - 6.5Wirtz was unlucky to see a goal ruled out for offside after a great finish, and looks lively just behind the front three.RW: Muñoz - 6.6The Spaniard has worked hard down both ends of the pitch and has given Aina a few headaches when he runs at him.
He had to do better with the chance in the box at the end of the half.ST: Isak - 6.2Much like he did against Newcastle, Isak has been anonymous in the box, failing to link up play or press effectively. However, he has not been helped by some erratic service from the wide areas.LW: Gakpo - 6.5Eyebrows were raised when the Dutchman started on the right, but he has looked bold and aggressive down that side, combining fluidly with Frimpong.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
