Nottingham Forest fans say the same thing about Callum Hudson-Odoi as his full stats emerge from Liverpool defeat
Nottingham Forest fans are growing frustrated at Callum Hudson-Odoi’s lack of end product following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Liverpool.
Despite a dominant first half performance, Nottingham Forest fell to an agonising late defeat as Liverpool snatched all three points in the 97th minute.
Alexis Mac Allister had a goal ruled out for handball in the 90th minute, before the midfielder broke the deadlock with one of the last kicks of the game just minutes later.
Defeat means Nottingham Forest sit just two points above the relegation zone, with West Ham‘s point against Bournemouth having closed the gap to safety.
Callum Hudson-Odoi ‘underwhelming’ Nottingham Forest fans
New Nottingham Forest manager Vitor Pereira was taking charge of his first game at the City Ground after winning his first match away to Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
The game may have swung in Nottingham Forest’s favour if they were able to take their first-half chances, with Pereira’s side having 12 shots on Liverpool’s goal during the opening 45 minutes.
One of those was a golden chance for Hudson-Odoi, when the forward could not beat goalkeeper Alisson one-on-one just three minutes into the game.
Aside from that moment, one fan believed Hudson Odoi was “offering nothing” in the contest, whilst another claimed that the 25-year-old can’t beat his full-back.
Hudson-Odoi only had one shot and three touches in the opposition box before being replaced by Dan Ndoye in the 66th minute.

Vitor Pereira has huge task on his hands
Whilst fans were delighted with Pereira’s first game in charge at Fenerbehce, many will remain concerned about their Premier League status following this latest defeat.
Nottingham Forest are now winless in four Premier League games, which included key clashes against Crystal Palace, Leeds and Wolves.
Meanwhile, West Ham have only lost one of their last six matches, and are starting to build momentum in hope of switching places with Nottingham Forest in the table.
The fixture list for the Tricky Trees does not get any easier with trips to Brighton and title challengers Manchester City next.
Nottingham Forest have done marginally better on their travels this season than at home, with 14 points collected from 13 games.
