Nottingham Forest manager Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “I think we all have the same feeling, proud of the performance, proud of how many chances we created and proud of the reaction after we conceded the equaliser.

“On the other side, we’re all a little bit disappointed we couldn’t get the win. I think this shows how good we performed, how well we played. Overall, a very good performance.

“I could see our tactical shape work well in many parts but after 60-65 minutes, the level drops a little bit. Which shows we everything is not 100% settled, it can’t be after six or seven weeks together. Also, we conceded the same goal more or less, in the same area.

“We opened the middle and we know Liverpool always tries to pass into these gaps. Many of these situations, we avoided but in these two situations, it was the wrong behaviour and then you get punished when you play here at Anfield.

“What I loved most was how we played forward and created the chances, especially in the first half. I think we should have led by more than one goal.

“But again, it’s still the beginning of the season. The beginning of the journey and this performance will give us confidence.

“I always hope the next time it will go quicker but, again, we could see many positive aspects. Many things that should and will give us confidence but it’s important to stay humble and keep working hard.”

On transfers: “I am [hopeful of new signings]. The club are working hard before closed doors, I’m confident we will have two signings. We have Liam [Delap] in and hopefully one more, potentially two.

“The club is doing a great job, working hard. We have another new start, integrating new players.”
