'Something is wrong' - Arne Slot makes admission as Liverpool prepare to face AC Milan in Champions League opener

Slot, who was left fuming after his team's shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of minnows Nottingham Forest, is currently preparing for the upcoming Champions League opener against Serie A giants. The Dutch manager admits there is something wrong his players need to work on their shortcomings.

The Slot era at Anfield got off to a flying start as they won all their first matches including a thumping win over arch-rivals Manchester before the international break. However, their unbeaten run ended last weekend as they went down against Forest at Anfield.

Speaking to reporters at his pre-match press conference, Slot said, "Not only the journalists were disappointed about the result from us against Nottingham Forest, the team and me were really disappointed. Although we always put it in the right perspective when we beat United, the journalists and us were really positive. Of course, we also saw things we have to improve.

"Last Saturday, we didn't do many things good as we did against United but there were still a few things that went quite well. But it was a total different game and that's also for tomorrow, I expected a complete different game against Milan. The type of players they have and the playing style of their manager compared to Nottingham Forest.

He added, "But we should be disappointed if we lose a home game against Nottingham Forest. You play for Liverpool and if you are not disappointed, if you drop points in a home game against Nottingham Forest then something is wrong. Four games nine points, it's a good start but not a great start because then we would have had 12."

The Reds will take on AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday before facing Bournemouth in the Premier League on September 21.
