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
