Nottingham Forest hosted Crystal Palace in an exciting matchup on Premier League night. Under the baton of Newnoo, Forest's initial results were surprisingly good, with a solid defense benefiting from an onslaught of forward play against Crystal Palace, and the team won by 2.5 goals in a row in a tight match.
When you think of Newcastle, the word "boring" comes to mind. When he was in charge of Tottenham Hotspur, he was controversial for his monotonous and lackluster tactics, and even faced the sack. However, Newnoux's transformational moves in midfield have paid off, and he has managed to maintain the level of the team, whether it was at Wolves or Forest midway through last season. Forest have been consistent so far in the new season, winning two and losing five of their eight games with just one defeat, which included a stunning win over Liverpool at Anfield. They don't mind playing boring tactics, with a tight defense and Keith Hart as the pivot in midfield, partnering Hector Bellerin and Arranga in a clean and direct tactic, so it's no wonder that they've scored 8 goals in 8 games and conceded only 7, scoring under 2 goals in all 7 of their matches.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace's biggest problem in the new season is the lack of offense. In the summer, central midfielder Michael Olsson left the club, leaving Ibil Isles as a key player in the attacking organization and therefore a target for opponents. Striker Sam Madida, who returned briefly for the Olympics, has been in low form. In the league, he scored only two goals. Nikitia, who joined from Arsenal, has been working hard but has failed to break the drought so far, making it difficult for Crystal Palace to open up in the attacking end. So far, they have not won in 7 league matches and scored only 5 goals. Facing Forest, who have a solid defense, it will not be easy for them to turn the situation around.
