Despite a late push for a winner, enjoying 72 per cent possession in the closing stages, Liverpool could not find a way past a stubborn Forest defence. The visitors held their shape well and looked completely comfortable soaking up the late pressure.
The result leaves Iraola with plenty to ponder as he looks to integrate his new-look squad. Forest, meanwhile, will travel back to the Midlands highly satisfied with a hard-earned point. They came agonisingly close to pulling off a famous Anfield victory and remain a dangerous proposition on the road.
