Klopp had to send on Dominik Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez midway through the second half as his substitution paid off, with Szoboszlai heading home from 20 yards. There were also confident goals from Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota, both of whom finished the match well against Jakub Stolarczyk.
Ten changes since the win over the Hammers saw Caiomhin Kelleher, Jarell Quansah, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas make up the rest of the bottom four. Klopp admitted that Joe Gomez is not ‘good’ for the away trip to Enzo Maresca’s team, but the German coach confirmed that the English defender will play in the away trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday (5:
30:00 start)
The young performer played twice for the Wales national team during the international break. However, he’s been left out of two squads since then and also sat out the win over Chelsea.
It would appear that the reason for his absence at the moment has been down to injury issues. He’s posted a wordless post on Instagram that seems to suggest he’s not fit.
Forest defender Williams suggests he’s injured on Instagram
This will need to be confirmed but it seems as though the Wales performer has picked up a niggle. He’s posted on Instagram a snap of him in the gym at the training ground with two egg timer emojis.
Those kinds of posts tend to suggest that a player will be back soon. As a result, perhaps it’s not quite as simple as Williams has been dropped and he will hope to find his way back soon.
The Reds player will hope to force his way back into contention once he has shaken off his latest problem. However, after a number of signings this summer, that won’t come easy.
Will Williams be an integral performer at Forest?
Steve Cooper is a huge fan of Williams but he has spoken about having more athleticism within his squad. As a result, it’s hard to see the Wales international holding down a place in the team.
One aspect in his favour is that he can perform a duty in either full-back role for the team. That might be enough to earn himself a place on the bench but starting could prove tricky.
Forest signed Gonzalo Montiel, Ola Aina and Nuno Tavares in the summer. As a result, it looks as though Williams is fourth in line for a place right now and he might be facing a losing battle for game time this season.
