🔗 Share this article Forest Are Not Planning to Dismiss Postecoglou; Alisson Sidelined; Three Lions Team Updates Ange Postecoglou Secure - At Present Starting from the early hours today, the club were not intending to fire their manager but the unpredictable nature of the team and its owner the chairman means that circumstances may shift rapidly. Supporters expressed their opinions on Thursday, calling for the exit of the man who replaced an East Midlands hero and it is challenging to reverse the sentiment once that happens. The Australian is the owner's choice, the owner having lined him up well ahead of Nuno Espirito Santo was dismissed. All involved with the club expected a period of transition but to be winless in six matches and losing at home to opposing teams were not anticipated outcomes when he arrived last month. Postecoglou was intended to change the style but he has his tactical philosophy, which is very different to his forerunner, so there is an understanding that adjustments require patience. Tolerance, however, is not a quality often observed at Forest. The next three Premier League games are against tough opponents, so the challenge will intensify for the manager. Liverpool's Keeper Out for Liverpool Arne Slot has been speaking: “Alisson is absent from the team this weekend and he will not go to his national team for the national team matches. Hugo [Ekitike] is going to train again this afternoon, we will assess where he is. The same can be said for Frederico [Chiesa]. It hinges on how fast the recovery goes. “I would not expect if he the keeper will be there for the first game after the international break. From there on progress may be a bit faster or a bit more gradual. It’s hard to predict. I’m not a doctor so I am unable to confirm if it is the identical issue.” The backup keeper will play in place of the first choice. “I think we’ve observed against the Saints how well he’s adjusted. We were aware we were bringing in a very good goalkeeper. When he made his debut that’s a way of seeing he’s adapted excellently to the team. It’s not a surprise because he’s a skilled player. Now he can perform the role we’ve needed to accomplish so many times in the previous seasons replacing Alisson, like we’ve handled previously.” Weekend Fixtures Tonight Cherries host Fulham (8pm) Tomorrow Leeds v Tottenham Gunners take on Hammers United meet Sunderland Chelsea v Liverpool Day after Aston Villa v Burnley Newcastle v Nottingham Forest Wolves v Brighton Everton v Crystal Palace Brentford v Manchester City European Results The evening went well for the other English clubs in Europe.

European tournament roundup: Aston Villa star secures Villa win as Rangers and Celtic suffer defeats. Supporters' Response at Forest's Stadium The scenes were close to extraordinary on a sobering evening, thousands of home supporters chanting: “Your job is at risk.” Then the same fans twisted the knife, singing the name of his predecessor the ex-manager, with several turning towards the owner observing with his own giant private television in the directors’ box. This made for grim viewing. Weekend Lookahead Without a loss in the league since their Friday night opener, the Cherries strong start has been halted by consecutive draws: at home to Newcastle and at Leeds recently. The Cottagers travel to the stadium on Friday, offering Bournemouth a presentable chance of recapturing winning ways and climbing the table. After a turbulent summer, the manager has sought stability in his team selection. Behind 2-1 at Leeds, the coach made a three substitutions to reintroduce three usual starters – David Brooks, Alex Scott and Marcus Tavernier – to his starting eleven and was compensated with a equalizing goal. The team have also preserved defensive stability, allowing only one goal in four games between the away games to strong opponents. The defender, often playing in an otherwise brand-new back five, has been key to the team’s continuity. The centre-back received accolades from Iraola for his performances and danger at dead-ball situations – as evidenced by his aerial pass for Eli Junior Kroupi’s equaliser at the venue.
