Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest: What Nuno saidpublished at 16:55 24 August
Nuno Espirito Santo spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Nottingham Forest's draw against Crystal Palace: "I think we played good against a very tough team, who are well drilled, well organised. Give no spaces and are aggressive. But we showed character and we played good.
"In the final moments of the game we had two good chances to score. Overall, we created a lot to situations - dominated, control possession and find the gaps. It is always very difficult to defend against Palace and keep the balance. Sarr, Mateta up front, very good players."
On integrating new players: "We are working on that. They arrived not long ago. They can know better when they start competing, not just training because the stress of playing games is part of it. It is our job to get the best out of them."
On his future: "I am a person that thinks a lot before saying anything. I say because I believe that things can improve but now is a moment to ignore the noise and focus on what I have to do. My job is clear.
"Of course, there will be resolution. Everything is going to be OK, for sure. It is the moment to sit down and talk. More important is how we play football and I think we are improving, trying to adjust some things and that is where my focus is.
"We still need three players. One goalkeeper to give us another option, one to make us feel safe. Then two full-backs because Ola [Aina] and Neco [Williams] are playing all the games. We are always considering if something happens, what options do we have?
"Those are our main concerns so hopefully this week we can complete the squad and move forward."
