🔗 Share this article Forest Have No Plans to Dismiss Postecoglou; Liverpool Keeper Sidelined; England Team Updates Ange Postecoglou Secure - For Now As of the early hours today, Nottingham Forest were not intending to fire Ange Postecoglou but the volatile situation of the team and its owner Evangelos Marinakis means that things can change quickly. Supporters expressed their opinions on the previous day, calling for the departure of the man who replaced an local favorite and it is difficult to reverse the sentiment once that occurs. Postecoglou is Marinakis’ man, the club chief having selected him well ahead of Nuno Espirito Santo was sent packing. Everyone at Forest expected a time of adjustment but to be without a victory in six games and losing at their own ground to opposing teams were not anticipated outcomes when he arrived last month. The Australian was intended to change the style but he has his way of playing, which is distinctly unlike to his predecessor, so there is an understanding that these things take time. Patience, however, is not a trait often seen at the club. The next three Premier League games are against tough opponents, so things are not going to get easier for Postecoglou. Liverpool's Keeper Out for Liverpool Arne Slot addressed the media: “Alisson is absent from the team tomorrow and he will not go to his national team for the national team matches. The forward is going to train again this afternoon, let’s see where he is. The applies similarly for the winger. It depends on how quickly they heal. “I will be surprised if he [Alisson] will be there for the first game after the international break. From there on things can go a bit faster or a bit slower. It’s hard to predict. I’m not a doctor so I am unable to confirm if it is the same injury.” Giorgi Mamardashvili will play in place of the first choice. “I think we’ve observed against the Saints how seamlessly he has fitted in. We knew we were bringing in a very good shot-stopper. When he plays his first game that’s a way of seeing he’s adjusted really well to the team. It’s not a surprise because he’s a skilled goalkeeper. Now he can do what we’ve needed to accomplish so many times in the previous seasons replacing the main keeper, like we’ve handled previously.” Weekend Fixtures Tonight Bournemouth v Fulham (evening kickoff) Saturday Leeds v Tottenham Arsenal v West Ham United meet Sunderland Chelsea v Liverpool Sunday Villa play Burnley Magpies host Forest Wolves v Brighton Everton v Crystal Palace Bees welcome City Continental Action The evening went well for the other English clubs in continental competitions.

Supporters' Response at City Ground Events were close to extraordinary on a sobering evening, thousands of home supporters chanting: “You’re getting sacked in the morning.” Then the same fans twisted the knife, voicing the title of his former coach the ex-manager, with several directing comments at Evangelos Marinakis observing with his own giant private television in the executive area. This resulted in a dismal spectacle. Weekend Lookahead Without a loss in the Premier League since their initial match, the Cherries early momentum has been halted by consecutive draws: at home to Newcastle and at Elland Road last week. The Cottagers travel to the Vitality on Friday, presenting Andoni Iraola’s side a presentable chance of recapturing winning ways and climbing the table. After a turbulent summer, Iraola has aimed for stability in his team selection. Behind 2-1 at their opponents, the coach made a three substitutions to reintroduce three usual starters – David Brooks, Alex Scott and Marcus Tavernier – to his XI and was rewarded with a late leveller. Bournemouth have also preserved defensive stability, conceding just once in four games between the away games to strong opponents. Marcos Senesi, often featuring in an otherwise new defensive unit, has been crucial to the team’s continuity. The defender earned praise from the boss for his defensive work and danger at attacking set-pieces – as shown by his headed assist for the leveling goal at Elland Road.
