Can Angel make the forest more dynamic?

Last of Anton Toloui from Sky Sports News:

“It is clear that Evangelos Marinakis wants Nottingham Forest 3.0 in the Premier League.

“Steve Cooper raised them, Nuno took them to Europe, and now Angel Postcoglou is responsible for making this team more dynamic and successful.

“The forest has gone big for attackers in summer, it is now up to the former Tottenham boss to unlock their potential.

“35 million pounds sterling were spent for Omari Hutchinson, similar costs also splashed on Dan Ndoye and Dylane Bakwe, and James Mcatee came up to 30 million pounds Sterling, 25 million pounds Sterling went to Rennes for Arnaud Kalimuendo and Igor Jesus was not cheap with Botofogo.

“They also gave big contracts to Callum Hudson-Odoi and Morgan Gibbs-White.

“The forest can easily appoint three different foreheads capable of participating in the Prime Minister and Europe, it is in Postcoglou to release them.

“Forest missed the Champions League by only one point, despite the fact that the ball was only 40% on average in matches last season. To put this in context, only Everton and Ipswich had less possession on average.

“Ignore the lazy story about the owner of the Marinakis club wanting Postcoglou because he was born in Athens.

“To paraphrase the words of the forest hero Brian Cloud, Marinakis wants to win but wants to win it better”. He believes he found the man to do exactly that. “”

Another driving in a angel roller coaster in store in Forest?

Postcoglou storm the Premier League when he arrived at the Spurs in July 2023.

His style “ `Ange-Ball ” with free flow saw the undefeated spurs for the first 10 championship games of the season, including a home victory 2-1 on Liverpool, which put them at the top of the table.

His first defeat occurred in a 4-1 chaotic defeat against Chelsea, where he aroused criticism for refusing to adapt his style of play even when he is reduced to nine men. It led him to say: “It’s just who we are, guy.”

Despite the start of the season promise, the campaign ended in a disappointing way while the Spurs have lost five of their last seven games to finish fifth and miss the Champions League.

After a difficult start to its second season and a home loss of the Derby of North London against Arsenal in September, Postcoglou said with challenge: “I always earn things in my second year.”

This promise kept postcoglou afloat while the Spurs struggled at the national level, resulting in enormous pressure in late January after a terrible home defeat 2-1 against Leicester threatening relegation.

The injuries have certainly hampered Postoccoou, which put all its eggs in the Europa League basket in order to end the drought of the Spurs at 17.

And he delivered that Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 in the final in Bilbao.

But finally, the terrible first league campaign of Tottenham, which saw them finishing 17th on a record of 38 points, finished the turbulent time of Postocloou at Spurs.

Postcoglou had expressed his desire to stay another year, saying to the fans during the Europa League victory parade that “season three is better than season two”.

But the president of the Spurs, Daniel Levy, canceled the postcoglou show, and he is now playing now at City Ground, where he hopes to end the drought of a club trophy with the forest without victory since 1990 – and also defend his Europa League title. Gareth Hamill
