Cody Gakpo has opened up about what really went down inside the Liverpool dressing room after the painful 3–0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield — a defeat that left the squad feeling deeply embarrassed in front of their home crowd. 😔
The disappointing result leaves Arne Slot’s men sitting 12th in the Premier League, with eight defeats already piling up across all competitions despite the big arrivals of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike. For all the early-season promise, Liverpool’s struggles against compact defences and quick counter-attacks have now become a worrying trend. ⚠️
Gakpo revealed that the mood after the game was tense but honest, with players pushing each other to take responsibility and react the right way.
> “Losing 3–0 at home… it didn’t feel right,” he admitted. “We owed the fans more, so we had to speak openly as a group about what must change.”
According to the Dutch forward, the days that followed were filled with straight-to-the-point discussions about performance levels, team unity, and the need for every player to step up both on and off the pitch. He explained that the squad avoided pointing fingers and instead focused on collective responsibility — something they believe will be crucial heading into their Champions League showdown with PSV at Anfield. 💪🔥
Gakpo himself began the Forest match brightly, but like many of his teammates, faded once Liverpool conceded first — a recurring issue that continues to cost them. Too often this season, the Reds have been forced into desperate chases, opening spaces that the opposition ruthlessly exploit.
Still, Gakpo insists the squad is determined to respond the right way.
Liverpool’s quality is not in question — the challenge now is finding consistency, rediscovering their winning mentality, and proving that the summer signings can rise to the standard expected at Anfield. 🌟🔴
Time will tell whether those hard truths shared in the dressing room can spark the turnaround the club desperately needs.
