Nottingham Forest is experiencing an extraordinary season under the leadership of Nuno Espirito Santo. Having narrowly avoided relegation last year, the team has shown impressive form, winning their last six league matches and climbing to third in the standings. They currently share 40 points with Arsenal, trailing only six points behind leaders Liverpool. Despite this success, Espirito Santo remains optimistic and believes there is even greater potential for improvement ahead.
The manager expressed confidence in his players, highlighting their dedication to excelling. He noted that continued time spent together on the field leads to better teamwork and an improved understanding among the players. He stressed the importance of focusing on preparation rather than getting caught up in hypothetical scenarios regarding the future, including the title race or the upcoming January transfer market.
Espirito Santo acknowledged that making deals in January can be challenging, but assured that the squad is in good shape. With healthy players and viable options within the team, he feels there are no uncertainties regarding their capabilities. Remarkably, Forest is the only team to have defeated Liverpool in the league this season. When asked about Liverpool's manager considering them potential title contenders, Espirito Santo remained focused, insisting on maintaining their consistent approach and day-to-day focus in the competition.

Espirito Santo’s tactics are too defensive. It won’t work against stronger teams.
