Bruno Fernandes reacts to Liverpool’s defeat against Nottingham Forest, he’s absolutely loving it

Liverpool faced their first loss of the season at home against Nottingham Forest, and Bruno Fernandes quickly responded.

The unexpected result of the weekend saw Liverpool, who had been unbeaten under new manager Arne Slot, suffer their initial defeat after Callum Hudson-Odoi scored an impressive goal at Anfield. Slot retained the same Liverpool lineup that had previously won against Ipswich, Brentford, and Manchester United, but they had difficulty against Nuno Espirito Santo’s well-organized defense.

Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag guided Manchester United to a 3-0 victory over Southampton, indicating his players were paying attention to the Merseyside match. Anthony Elanga, a former teammate of Fernandes, played a crucial role in the goal by exploiting Liverpool’s left side and assisting Hudson-Odoi.

Fernandes quickly showed his gratitude on social media for Elanga’s role with a post featuring a clap emoji.

After the match, Slot acknowledged that his team had trouble with ball control and failed to generate scoring opportunities despite dominating possession with over 70%. He noted that the only aspect his team could manage was possession, while they had to deal with numerous long balls from their opponents.

“We had a lot of possession but only created three or four decent chances, which is inadequate given our control of the game. With so much play in their half, we should have performed better. We lost the ball repeatedly in simple situations. The key takeaway is that our possession wasn’t effective enough.”
