Midfielder Remo Freuler admitted Nottingham Forest paid the price for a “weak” second half against Arsenal.
But he says the Reds are determined to ensure Sunday’s 5-0 thumping at the Emirates Stadium doesn’t undo the positive steps made in recent weeks. And that starts with bouncing back in two crucial league games at the City Ground.
Following the 4-0 rout at Leicester City at the start of the month, Forest had tightened up at the back. They had gone from shipping 18 goals in five games to conceding two in four, with one of those being a penalty. Steve Cooper’s side had also been buoyed by a memorable 1-0 victory over Liverpool little more than seven days before their trip to the capital.
