They certainly faded in the latter stages of the 2nd half.
Work has to be done on defensive cohesiveness when fatigue sets in, it was same with Leeds in the first game.
A far cry from the 1st two games though, huge improvement and some stand out performances.
Delap was revelationary; Awoniyi, Wood and Jesus all rolled into one.
See! It's fixed.

Just got back, very enjoyable day out, not seen any of it back yet but first impressions.
Huge improvement and good performance all round, the system can work after all! My caveat is that I thought both Liverpool full backs were pretty poor which allowed us more room but it was great to see us cause so many problems first half.
McAtee looked really good in that role, although there may be more physical games that suit him less.
Ndoye much improved (yes i did still see an embarrassing dive, just stop it FFS!)
Neco MoM superb all round, Aina good too
Delap gives us something I haven’t seen in a Forest shirt for a heck of a long time, running forwards with the ball with genuine power, really encouraging.
Think we conceded both goals from similar positions? Something to work on if so but other than that we looked pretty solid, Jair did well for the most part.
Could have been a win but any team in the league is happy with a point at Anfield and we’re off the mark.

Both Williams and Aina played well in their new roles. Williams winning the pen and Aina setting up two golden chances. The goals we conceded though were down to Williams and Murillo not working together effectively.

Great game! Very enjoyable watch. Thought we were unlucky not taking all 3 points. McAtee and Williams the standout for me.
