The most recent Nottingham Forest news, as Cooper might come under more pressure after Friday night’s 2-0 home loss to Tottenham.
As criticism on manager Steve Cooper increases once more, pundit Gary Neville claimed that Nottingham Forest lacked quality, purpose, and combinations against Tottenham.
Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison goals either side of halftime sent the Reds into a 2-0 defeat over Tottenham. Yves Bissouma’s red card reduced Tottenham to 10 men in the second half, but Forest couldn’t capitalize on their numerical advantage.
With this setback, Forest had only triumphed in one of their previous 13 Premier League games. Additionally, when the team looks over their shoulder toward the relegation spots, it puts more pressure on manager Cooper.
When asked if the Welshman might be sent off as a result of the match against Tottenham, Neville is unsure. However, the former Manchester United player identified the crucial issues that Forest displayed versus Spurs, which determined the outcome of the match.
It’s challenging. They are up against a strong team that is giving a lot of the nation’s top clubs trouble, he said to Sky Sports following the match. The owner’s ultimate decision regarding whether or not to retain Steve Cooper will be determined by what happens after one of the 13 games.
“It’s clear that the supporters want to keep him; this isn’t a matter of a dressing room going down; rather, it’s a case of a dressing room fighting and giving it their all, lacking in talent and goal threat up front, and lacking in combinations or a sense of purpose.”
“They are tough and persistent, but they are a little bit simple in comparison to the Spurs team that played tonight—the quality was evident tonight, especially up top.”
In just over a week, Forest will play their next game at the City Ground against a highly competitive Bournemouth team. The Cherries will take on Luton on Saturday afternoon with a six-point advantage over Forest in the standings.
