Nuno talks tactics

New Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has spoken about the style of play that he plans to implement at the club. 

Ahead of his side's match with Manchester United, the Portuguese was asked whether the victory against Newcastle was indicative of the tactics he will utilise. 

Nuno said: "It's very soon, it's been two games and not too many training sessions. 

"It's a growing process that you have to have from all of the squad. 

"We know the quality we have inside the players, it's just trying to take the best out of each one of them so they can deliver for the team." 

Forest's 3-1 win at Newcastle saw them play with a counter-attacking style that made the most of their pacy wingers Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga.

Sean Dyche has reignited the row concerning the handball rules in football during his latest press conference. 

Ahead of the upcoming match against Wolves, the Everton boss was asked about the penalty given against Amadou Onana in the 3-1 loss against Manchester City. 

Dyche said: "The one last night, everyone is confused by handball. Managers spoke to the powers that be, that's a really poor one. 

"If that's a penalty, Onana should be goalkeeper. He must have some reflexes. It's all nonsense. Should go back to the old days. Deliberate, you can tell. 

"Referees have experience, feel, for the game. Who's giving what? The assistant gives it 50m away, the referee is 12m away. We had the opposite the other day. 

"It's more the confusion, they're under enough scrutiny, we should take it away and allow them more use of their knowledge and understanding." 

Blades duo looking sharp

Sheffield United's Chris Wilder has issued a fitness update on John Egan and Tom Davies. 

Speaking before the Blades' upcoming trip to Manchester City, the manager had good news for fans of the struggling club. 

Wilder said: "I bumped into John Egan today who's a big player and was talking to Tom Davies, who's back on the grass, which is great news. These are experienced players. 

"Egs is captain of country and Tom has played all his football in the Prem. There's some big players missing but we'll go with what we've got and we'll be as competitive as we can possibly be. 

"There's still a lot of work to be done but the great thing is that Tom is back moving about and doing conditioning work and ball work, I'm delighted to see Tom doing that. 

"It's been a difficult few months for him. He came here to play football and he'll be a really good player for the club. He's a good signing and him missing is a blow."
