Alisson: Well beaten for Dan Ndoye's goal but made a superb save to deny Igor Jesus on the brink of half-time and keep Liverpool in the game. Poor penalty to give away for Gibbs-White's winner. 5 Jeremie Frimpong: Struggled defensively but got into some good positions going forward. Did really well in the build-up to Florian Wirtz's disallowed goal but was just offside.
Has to improve consistency with his end delivery. 6 Jeremy Jacquet: Made a goal-saving challenge to deny Igor Jesus an early goal and was impressive but still had a few moments where he was slack and lacked discipline. 6 Virgil van Dijk: Will be furious with how easily the Liverpool backline was cut open for Ndoye's opener and the ease with which Forest won their penalty. 6 Milos Kerkez: A poor display from the Liverpool left-back and was sloppy in possession. Replaced by Kostas Tsimikas in the 71st minute. 5 Dominik Szoboszlai: Solid as usual and was much more alert defensively, compared to his display at Newcastle. 6 Alexis Mac Allister: Back in the starting XI and played a lovely reverse ball for Cody Gakpo early on. Couldn't cope physically with Igor Jesus in the build up to Ndoye's goal. 6 Cody Gakpo: Started down the right in what was potentially his last Liverpool appearance and was effective.
Played a lovely ball for Wirtz, then did really well to create a chance for Victor Munoz. Didn't do his defensive duties for Forest's opener. but did brilliantly to create Alexander Isak's equaliser. 7 Florian Wirtz: Constantly posed a threat and unlucky not to score, having had a neat finish ruled out as Frimpong was offside and a solid header tipped over by Matz Sels. Got the assist for Munoz's goal. 7 Victor Munoz: Made his first Liverpool start and it was down his preferred left flank.
The Spaniard was direct and had a penalty shout turned down but he should have tested Sels at least when he fired a first-half effort wide from inside the box. Scored a belter to level the game in front of the Kop and rescue a point for Liverpool. 7 Alexander Isak: Just six touches in the first half and zero shots on goal but made up for a forgettable opening 45 minutes with the first equaliser on the hour mark. That was just his ninth touch but a goal that will give him plenty of confidence. 6 Subs not used: Mamardashvili, Endo, McConnell, Koumas.
Matz Sels: Was commanding and it was his punt up the field that led to Ndoye's goal. Made a great save to deny Wirtz but was well-beaten by Gakpo's cross for Isak's leveller and had no chance with Munoz's strike. 5 Jair Cunha: Strong performance but will know he should have done better for Isak's goal. 6 Nikola Milenkovic: Part of a Forest backline that initially made it incredibly hard for Liverpool to break them down. 6 Murillo: Unafraid to drive with the ball and put in a solid shift but was well beaten by Munoz for the goal that made it 2-2. Still crucial that Forest keep him. 6 Ola Aina: Relentless all game.
