Nottingham Forest remain in sixth place after suffering a third defeat in four against Brentford on Thursday evening.
Murillo endured a game to forget as he looked all over the place at times, making an error in the build-up to Yoane Wissa’s goal.
Nottingham Forest fans slammed Murillo for ball watching far too often and Nikola Milenkovic received criticism, too.
Speaking post-match, Nuno Espirito Santo was surprised by how poorly his defenders coped with the balls over the top.
“Not a good performance,” the Forest boss told BBC MOTD. “Something that we have to analyse.
“Normally solid over the top of our defence, but credit to Brentford. They defended well and didn’t give us much – disappointing night.”
Nuno also admitted he has a fresh injury concern.

Thursday’s defeat was a real sore one for Forest, as they’re now outside of the top five with the same games played.
Nuno explained that he’s not worried about the table, though, he just wants to analyse where his side must improve.
“It’s a bad night and a bad game. I’m not really worried about the table, more how to correct the mistakes.
“Credit to Brentford but the situations we should solve normally with better defending. We are disappointed but it’s about reacting and going for the next one.
“I don’t say it was because of the semi-final. It was high demanding on a fitness aspect but we should have defended better.
“We didn’t create too much, Brentford defended well. We have to compete much better to achieve what we want. The way we did it in this game is not normal for where we are.”
The Forest boss then confirmed that Callum Hudson-Odoi, who came off at half-time, picked up an injury.
“He was not able to continue. He felt something in the first half.”
Attention now turns to Crystal Palace
Forest must quickly put this defeat behind them, as they’re back in action on Monday evening.
The East Midlanders travel down to the capital to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, which won’t be an easy game by any means.
Palace are coming off the back of a convincing 3-0 win against Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final, so they’ll be full of confidence.
But, having said that, Forest got the better of Oliver Glasner’s men in the reverse fixture, with Chris Wood netting the winner.
