Jurgen Klopp admitted that he was left feeling "as low as possible" after watching his Liverpool side slump to a surprise 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.
The Reds have endured a tough start to the season but they headed to the City Ground in a buoyant mood after recording consecutive victories over Manchester City and West Ham.
But Liverpool produced a laboured, lacklustre performance against their hosts, who rose to the occasion to claim just their second Premier League win of the season courtesy of a second-half strike from summer signing - and former Reds striker - Taiwo Awoniyi.
