JAKARTA - Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, admitted that the 0-3 defeat suffered by his team at home to Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday, November 22, was a very bad result.

It was Liverpool's second straight defeat in the Premier League, as well as their sixth defeat in the Premier League this season. The series of bad results made Liverpool, who are currently defending champions, slump in 11th position in the standings with 18 points.

How bad is this result? It's hard to measure it, but of course it's really bad. Playing at home, losing 3-0, whoever the opponent is is still a very, very, very bad result," said Slot, quoted from Liverpool's official website on Sunday.

In fact, according to Slot, his team had so many chances in the 30 minutes of the game.

"I'm not sure because I don't remember every game, but we were able to create many chances. The first time they got into our penalty box, they scored. It's a very difficult situation when you waste your own chances and almost every time your opponent gets a chance, the ball always comes in," said the Dutchman.

Nottingham opened the scoring through a Murillo goal in the 33rd minute. In the second half, they added to the lead thanks to Nicolo Savona's goal in the 46th minute, and Morgan Gibbs-White in the 78th minute.

Liverpool are in some problems. Slot itself cannot lower the ideal formation against Nottingham, such as in the right-back position filled by Curtis Jones.

However, Slot emphasized that all the results obtained by the Reds were his responsibility.

"That's my responsibility. Winning or losing, it's my responsibility. But I also see the team, and the supporters also stay in the stadium until the end, support the team until the end, and the players keep trying until the end," said Slot.

"The thing I saw today, different from when we were at Manchester City, in other matches we were always the dominant team and were able to create opportunities. Lately, almost every time we wasted chances and instead conceded from the opponent's chances. It will not last throughout the season, "he said.
