Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson says they created enough chances to win at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Reds lost 1-0 to a Taiwo Awoniyi goal on the day.
Robertson said, “Yeah, a really tough one and in our position we can’t really afford it. Obviously we wanted to end a really good week, try to end it with nine points which would have sat us nicely and it’s not happened. I think from early doors it was quite clear that one goal was always going to sort this game out, both teams cancelling each other out first half, not many chances and then they get a goal. A poor free-kick from us, poorly defended and then you find yourself 1-0 down.
“Look, credit goes to Forest, I thought they were really good, in our faces in front of their crowd and everything, but I don’t know how we’ve not scored today, I really don’t. We’ve had so many chances, set-pieces we knew could have been a huge weapon today. Some of the balls in were good, finding free headers or landing on people’s feet and we’ve just not had that composure to put it away.
“Look, we could be sitting here with a very different story but we’re not. We had enough chances to win the game today, never mind take a draw, but that’s the frustration. We’ve had games like this in the past but in the position we are in just now, we can’t really afford that and that’s why we’re all gutted in that changing room just now.
“Unfortunately we did create the chances but we just couldn’t find the net. When you have a game like that it’s so frustrating and when you’re in a better position in the league it’s sometimes a wee bit easier to accept when you walk off and think, ‘You know what, it’s just not our day.’ But when you’re in the position we are in, when you have dropped the points we have dropped already it’s that bit more difficult.
“But games are coming thick and fast, we have to pick ourselves up, we’ve got a massive game in the Champions League where we can secure our last-16 spot. We have to be ready on Wednesday now and we have to be ready to go again. The problem today wasn’t creating chances, we have to take things from that, but we have to be so much more clinical. ”
