Nottingham Forest, in the 31st round of the Premier League, started with everything against Fulham and, in the 20th minute, already won by… two goals difference. Given this scenario, Marco Silva made three substitutions at once, in the first half.
Now, being something unusual, the Portuguese coach justified the choice. he spoke about the team’s entry into the meeting and left several criticisms. “We weren’t bad in one aspect. Unfortunately there were several. And they don’t relate to the three players who left after 30 minutes”, he explained, in statements reproduced by DailyMail.
«We were too slow, not very dynamic and we were very bad without the ball. We weren’t aggressive or solid, and any Premier League team will punish us if we continue like this (…) The reaction only arrived in the second half, but it was too late. The lecture at halftime was clear, however, the damage was too great,” he said.
Sasa Lukic, Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi were the sacrificed for the entries of Tom Cairney, Adama Traoré and Willian. Nottingham Forest, coached by Nuno Espírito Santos, ended up winning 3-1.
