I've only seen it once, why wasn't a penalty? It looked nailed on.
Not the only joke tonight though. The only thing missing from Forest's game was a player of theirs actually kicking the ball into his own net, just to save Liverpool the trouble. The amount of misplaced passes close to their area was unreal -and beyond idiotic. Then you have to make sprints so as to provide cover for the error. You get frustrated, you waste energy. Energy you could have used in the final stages of the match when chasing the score, but there wasn't any left (despite the late subs)...The amount of teams that miss absolute sitters against these is a joke.

Definitely with regards to that Arnold character. Brentford targeted him earlier this year and he was brutally exposed. Absolute myth that he’s the greatest right back in the whole wide world. Yes he knocks in a good ball but he’s easily got at and needs to be pinned back. Then we will see the real player and not one who has all the time in the world to ping 50 yard diags or cross a ball in with no one around him.Not the only joke tonight though.

You know how Liverpool defend, you also know your team's limitations. Yet zero reaction from the guy on Forest's bench. Kept watching the same pattern occurring again and again throughout the match, as a spectator who hasn't paid a ticket...
Nevertheless, as you say, Forest should have taken the lead, difficult (if not impossible) to explain that miss. If they had, it would probably be over. And Klopp would have been punished for instructing Tsimikas to operate as a winger as the match evolved -out of position in that play. Also, they should have equalized through that header -and the less said about VAR the better...
A brief comment regarding Liverpool's performance: Cohesion and chemistry issues were more than obvious, due to rotation. Which is a sensitive, complicated process. Klopp has learnt his lesson, he knows he cannot avoid using it. But he has a long way to go in order to actually command it. Very few managers can. No one, literally no one, like Guardiola...
PS. I've read some posts with comments on "Trent's" injury. Of course I agree regarding his offensive contribution which they will miss, the stats are there. Yet there's a flip side to that coin. "Trent" is not a defender. And Guardiola is not the only manager to have targeted him defensively (repeatedly), take my word for it...
You could but it matters not. It wasn’t given as he dived. That’s the truth and no matter how much we wished it was a pen it blatantly wasn’t.So he did a Salah or a Mane or a Firmino or a Jota? I could go on tbf
