Nuno was at fault for 2.5 of those goals yesterday.
One was the 2nd goal his pass back that went to the Liverpool player Jota.
Third goal was that he was supposed to be manning Salah but then decided to leave him completely to run across to the other side of the box to challenge Mane who was already being challenged leaving Salah completely unmarked.
The half fault was from the 4th goal because again, the cross / final ball came from his left side but I only make that a half fault.
The second and third goal are unforgivable, yes I feel sorry for Nuno, I don't think his defensive prowess is up to the standard to mark Liverpool players, its a rough task and hopefully he'll improve, but if he marks Salah for the third goal instead of leaving him then Salah never gets a free shot on goal, that's the one that annoys me the most, a good defender knows to cut off as many options and angles as he can, Mane was not the threat in that situation, he can cross all he wants but if you've cut off the man he wants to cross to then there is no goal.
