"Having qualified for the Europa League this past season thanks to a solid defensive plan implemented by Nuno -- a disciplined low block combined with rapid counterattacks -- Forest now have a coach in Postecoglou whose high-line defense and philosophy of pressing high is the opposite of his predecessor's.
