Disruptive week for the players, says new boss

ANGE Postecoglou admitted a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal came on the back of a “disruptive week” for his Nottingham Forest players.

- 

The 60-year-old was appointed the Reds’ head coach on Tuesday and had minimal time with his squad before their trip to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

It meant little opportunity for the new man to implement his ideas.

Postecoglou had explained earlier in the week that he felt he needed to give players time to process the news of Nuno Espirito Santo's departure.

The Portuguese had been loved by the dressing room and his sacking came only three games into the Premier League campaign.

With so much going on, preparation for the clash with the Gunners had not been the easiest.
