Liverpool left Nottingham Forest with three points, but the Reds’ lacklustre first-half performance and scrappy victory has left fans fuming. Many are calling it daylight robbery — and it’s easy to see why.
A Poor Start from the Reds
Liverpool looked sluggish, lacking energy, control, and creativity for long periods. Forest dominated the first half, creating clear chances that could have put them ahead. Fans were left frustrated as Liverpool failed to impose themselves, with even established stars struggling to influence the game.
VAR Drama and Late Escape
Alexis McAllister had his first goal disallowed by VAR for hitting his elbow — a harsh decision that could have given Liverpool a deserved lead. Liverpool were fortunate to have their late winner stand, especially after being unlucky with McAllister’s first goal being ruled out. The 97th-minute winner secured the points, but the win felt scrappy and left supporters both relieved and frustrated.
Why Fans Are Calling It Robbery
Forest were arguably the better side for most of the match. Liverpool’s lack of energy and creativity made them look vulnerable. A late, scrappy winner does little to disguise the performance.
Liverpool now move to 48 points, level with Chelsea in fourth, but the debate rages: was it resilience, or sheer luck at the right moment?
