Liverpool clashed with Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday afternoon as Andoni Iraola aimed to secure his first competitive win as manager.The Reds showed glimpses of promise on the opening weekend but were ultimately unable to earn more than a point against Newcastle United.In a bid to improve this time around and avoid a repeat of last season’s shock loss to Nottingham Forest, Iraola made a couple of changes to his squad, including dropping Rio Ngumoha to the bench for summer signing Victor Munoz.When all was said and done, Liverpool once again failed to pick up a win, being held to a 2-2 draw.Here’s how the player’s rated. What positives are you taking from that display? 🤔 Credit: Liverpool FC/Getty Images Liverpool player ratings vs Nottingham ForestAlisson: 3Made a world-class save right at the end of the first half to stop Forest going 2-0 up but then gave away a penalty, which Forest scored.Jeremie Frimpong: 3Looks much more suited to being a right-winger than a right-back.

We are yet to really see the Kerkez that once caused countless teams problems at Bournemouth.Alexis Mac Allister: 5Made a couple of line-breaking passes after returning to the side, but Liverpool fans probably wanted to see him doing a bit more against a low Forest block.Dominik Szoboszlai: 5Did not have a terrible game, but it does feel like he is wasted in a double pivot at times. Ended the tie at right-back after changes in the 71st minute.Florian Wirtz: 6Was unlucky to have his goal ruled out because Jeremie Frimpong was offside.

Hopefully he can build on Saturday’s display.Victor Munoz: 6Should have done much better with his chance at the end of the first half. Took his goal well, which should at least build his confidence a bit.SubstitutesRio Ngumoha: 4Caused Forest a few problems when he came on.Ronald Araujo: 4Filled in for Jacquet well during his short time on the pitch.Kostas Tsikimas: 4Had a quiet cameo off the bench but was no worse than Kerkez.Ryan Gravenberch: 6Was pushed high up the pitch when he came on and threw himself about.
