Nottingham Forest looked dangerous from the counter in the early going, but Jeremy Jacquet snuffed out the threat. His good defense continued when he knocked away a dangerous ball for a corner, which was cleared. The Forest threats kept coming as they had four shots in the first 20 minutes. That pressure paid off for the visitors when Dan Ndoye scored in the 24th minute
The Reds finally found a foothold in the game, earning a corner near the half-hour mark. Even though that chance did not find the back of the net, the Reds started playing better. Milos Kerkez appeared to score moments later, but Jeremie Frimpong was called for offside in the buildup to take the goal off the board. Leaving the halftime score at 1-0
Score
- Possession: LIV 58 | NF 42

LFC Globe Verdict
Not a great start for the Reds. They have barely had a sniff at goal until the latter stages of the half. Liverpool played better in the second half vs Newcastle last week. Let’s hope they can do it again.
