Tonight's Premier League match, Nottingham Forest hosts Crystal Palace in a battle of passion and patience. Under the command of Poniunu, Forest's initial success was remarkable, and their solid defense became the key to victory. They frequently lit up the Crystal Palace defense in front of the field, fighting fiercely and winning consecutive battles by more than 2.5 goals.
When you think of Newcastle, the word "boring" often comes to mind. During his time at Tottenham Hotspur, he was criticized for his conservative tactics and lackluster attacking play, and was unpopular and even at risk of being sacked. However, after taking over at Forest, Newnoo has reaped success with a series of moves in the midfield, whether it be coaching Wolves or taking over Forest midway through the season, he has managed to solidify the level of the team. Since the start of the season, Forest have been solid, with two wins and five defeats in eight games, losing only one, with some stunning performances against strong teams such as Liverpool. They are not afraid to play a "boring" defensive game, with a dense defense and Kieswetter as the fulcrum, working in tandem with Herschel O'Doul and Erlanga in a simple and straightforward manner, scoring 8 goals in 8 games and conceding only 7, with 7 shutouts of less than 2 goals.
On the contrary, Crystal Palace, the biggest problem this season is the lack of offense. In the summer, French midfielder Michael Ollis left the club, and Ibil Governois became a key player in the attacking organization, but became a target. Arrowhead Sam Madida returned from the Olympics in a slump in form, winning against only two teams in the league. Nikidia has worked hard but failed to make a mark after signing from Assen. As of now, he has yet to score a goal, making it difficult for Crystal Palace to do anything on the offensive end. In addition, they have not won in 7 league matches and have scored only 5 goals. Against the solid defense of Forest, it is extremely difficult to turn the situation around.
