Gary Lineker believes that Liverpool’s lack of squad depth is coming back to bite them following their defeat by Nottingham Forest.
Forest picked up a shock 1-0 win over Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon thanks to Taiwo Awoniyi’s second-half strike. Liverpool were far from their best at the City Ground and were punished when Awoniyi turned in from close range after Ryan Yates struck the post.
Klopp was forced to make five changes to his starting line-up from the side which beat West Ham 1-0 on Wednesday, with Thiago Alcantara and Darwin Nunez both unavailable. He also changed his formation, with Mohamed Salah starting alongside Roberto Firmino up front, with Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota both out injured.
