Ange Postecoglou is determined to turn the tide at Nottingham Forest, despite a challenging start to his tenure. The Australian manager, who took the reins at the club recently, is facing the pressure of a winless streak, but remains focused on making a positive impact.
Postecoglou's arrival has been met with some negativity, but he remains unfazed, stating that it's not about him, but about the team getting points on the board. He acknowledged the importance of securing a win to alleviate pressure on his players and to start moving in the right direction.
Nottingham Forest secured their first point under Postecoglou in a 1-1 draw against Burnley. Neco Williams scored early in the game, but Burnley responded with an equalizer. Despite creating numerous chances, Forest were unable to secure the win, with Burnley's goalkeeper putting up a strong performance.
In the lead-up to the Burnley game, Postecoglou made several changes to the team, giving Premier League starts to summer recruits Douglas Luiz, Dilane Bakwa, and Oleksandr Zinchenko. However, defender Murillo was ruled out due to a knock sustained in the previous game.
Postecoglou is also preparing the team for their upcoming UEFA Europa League campaign, with a match against Real Betis. Despite the busy schedule and the pressure to deliver results, Postecoglou remains confident in his ability to turn things around at Nottingham Forest. He believes in his approach and is focused on implementing his vision for the team.
