Oliver Glasner gave his thoughts on a 2-2 draw for Nottingham Forest against Liverpool.
After successive defeats to Leeds United in the Premier League and Carabao Cup, the Austrian hoped for a first positive result at his new club this weekend, and he got exactly what he wanted.
'We played forward and created the chances'
Dan Ndoye and Morgan Gibbs-White put the Tricky Trees into the lead on two occasions before Alexander Isak and Victor Munoz pegged them back. But Glasner still took away a lot of positives.
"I think we all have the same feeling, proud of the performance, proud of how many chances we created and proud of the reaction after we conceded the equaliser.
"On the other side, we're all a little bit disappointed we couldn't get the win. I think this shows how good we performed, how well we played. Overall, a very good performance.
Levels drop after 60 minutes
"I could see our tactical shape work well in many parts but after 60-65 minutes , the level drops a little bit. Which shows everything is not 100% settled, it can't be after six or seven weeks together. Also, we conceded the same goal more or less, in the same area.
"We opened the middle and we know Liverpool always tries to pass into these gaps. In many of these situations, we avoided it but in these two situations, it was the wrong behaviour and then you get punished when you play here at Anfield ."
Confidence for the season ahead
"What I loved most was how we played forward and created the chances, especially in the first half. I think we should have led by more than one goal. But again, it's still the beginning of the season. The beginning of the journey and this performance will give us confidence.
"I always hope the next time it will go quicker but, again, we could see many positive aspects. Many things that should and will give us confidence but it's important to stay humble, keep working hard."
