Pundit Garth Crooks believes it "was a pity" that Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson was left on the bench against Liverpool.
Head coach Steve Cooper made the decision to name Johnson among the substitutes amid a heavy fixture build-up, though the Wales international came off the bench in the second half.
Crooks thinks Forest might have come away from Anfield with a result if Johnson was in the starting XI, and has backed the Reds to put up a good fight in the remaining games of the season.
