Nuno has blamed the match officers for Saturday night time’s loss to Newcastle United.
Embarrassing.
The Nottingham Forest boss determined to make this defeat in regards to the match officers supposedly having been at fault, reasonably than the failings of himself and his gamers.
Nuno claiming that his workforce ought to have had a ‘clear’ penalty within the second half and he can’t perceive the way it wasn’t given, why the VAR didn’t intervene.
Nicely, TV viewers noticed the identical because the VAR and what all of us noticed was an incident the place Forest ahead Taiwo Awoniyi ought to have been booked for the comical means he tried to dupe the match officers into giving a penalty, when he threw himself to the ground so theatrically after intentionally making contact with Martin Dubravka.
Put it this manner, it was ranges worse than the penalty resolution at Anfield, when Jota threw himself to the bottom after realising he had pushed the ball too large to attain, as he rounded Dubravka.
Because it occurs, the identical referee for each matches, Anthony Taylor gave the one at Liverpool however even he thought this one was laughable.
Forest performed a bit higher within the second half however Nuno ought to be extra involved that they didn’t have a single shot on track after the break.
Perhaps as a substitute of attempting to place the blame on match officers, Nuno also needs to replicate on his massive attacking concept on this match, which was Moussa Niakhate repeatedly delivering lengthy throws into the Newcastle field, from each side of the pitch.
Nuno talking to BBC Sport:
“I noticed it again and again, for me it’s a clear penalty.
“I believe Anthony Taylor perhaps doesn’t have a transparent view of the incident as a result of it’s from behind however when you will have the possibility for VAR to verify it, I believe it’s so apparent, that’s the reason I don’t perceive the choice.”
Nuno talking to journalists in regards to the ‘penalty’ incident:
“Sure [it was definitely a penalty], I’ve noticed it over and once more.
“I’ve watched the replay again and again.
“When you will have VAR, it’s so apparent, I don’t perceive why not.
“It’s clear.”

“The boys struggle and we had probabilities to make a distinction.
