Andy Robertson makes major Liverpool admission as Jurgen Klopp has no excuse for Nottingham Forest loss

Here is your Liverpool morning digest for Sunday, October 23.

Robertson lifts lid on Liverpool dressing room reaction

Andy Robertson has admitted he and his Liverpool teammates are 'all gutted' after the 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.

Former Reds striker Taiwo Awoniyi won it for the home side 10 minutes into the second-half, latching on to a rebound from his own shot to stab past Alisson Becker from close range. Liverpool failed to make the most of their possession, with Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah spurning the few chances to arise from set-pieces.

Defeat at the City Ground ends a three-game winning run and stops any Liverpool momentum dead in its tracks, with Jurgen Klopp's side missing out on a chance to go fifth. And, speaking after the final whistle, Robertson admitted he and his teammates are gutted - the Scotland international also expressed his disbelief that Liverpool came away without scoring.

Jurgen Klopp has no excuse for Nottingham Forest defeat

The sight of Alisson Becker ambling forward for a late corner was previously the prelude to one of the most incredible moments of Jurgen Klopp's time at Liverpool.

Here, on a risible afternoon in Nottingham, it served only to highlight just how desperate it all was for the Reds. This was a woefully below-par performance and if Jurgen Klopp could point to the identity of his side's conquerors on the road this season as at least being Arsenal and Manchester United as partial mitigation, he will have no real excuse here as lowly, rock-bottom Forest pilfered a 1-0 win.

Liverpool 's wait for a Premier League win at this venue goes on and they got exactly what they deserved on a worryingly poor afternoon that only raises more questions about where this team is at and ultimately where it is heading.
