Nottingham Forest finished 17th in the 2023/24 Premier League season. Fast forward six months, and they sit 3rd in the table, behind only Arsenal and leaders Liverpool. Even more impressive is that Forest and Nuno Espírito Santo have achieved this despite having the lowest possession and fewest completed passes per match in the league this season. This raises the question: How does a team that doesn’t pass keep on winning? @JamesLawrenceAllcott@JamesLawrenceAllcott aims to answer in this week’s edition of The Breakdown.

Probably not
The problem is liverpool need to drop a lot of points for them to chase
At this current rate, liverpool wouldnt
I just hope next year half of forrest player are not shipped to another big clubs so we can have something fun to watch
“Nottingham Forest is on fire this season! 💥 Their defense is rock solid with Murello and the right-back killing it. Nico Williams and Hudson odoi are unstoppable on the wing, and Chris Wood is doing the job up front.
One season wonder
No.
Nobody wins a trophy for most passes in a game.
Counterattacking masterclass
Spurs must have regretted sacking him! 😅
Overwhelming data
When people now a days say the "dinosaur" style doesn't work and try to discredit guys who uses a counter attack style
I feel like Bournemouth should get a lot of praise as well they remind me of 2022 Newcastle where they pressed relentlessly
They do minimal and just meaningful passes,….other teams can do 70% possesion with most possesion being back-passes between defenders and keeper
There’ll be a fall off once the injuries kick in. Shame.
you deserve it Jamie!
Doesn’t
Can anyone give Nuno his flowers? The man is doing an amazing job!
This is what the most successful Man United teams also did unless playing a cagey European match. It works. I'm glad someone was watching Fergie. Seems like Man Utd managers after him have forgotten he existed.
Its Chris Wood mostly
If everyone stays fit and they keep doing what they're doing they're in with a decent shout of a place in Europe, but I can't see the wheels coming off at Liverpool. TBH – I would have taken avoiding relegation and mid-table mediocrity, so to be at this level is astonishing.
Loving what Forest are doing this season. The "keeping the ball" and passing square and backwards which has become more and more common over recent years is detrimental to the overall entertainment of the game.
I long for the good old days of fullback to winger to centre forward. 😊
They have less passes, but their passes are more efficient. Still, I don't think they are going to win the league.
Forest are a speedy transition team where everyone believes in it!
Ironically what Ten Hag was trying to do with United but failed.
I wish there will be a young English coach will will follow the olayboodnof Dam Allardyce and olay likenthrbold Bolton…and win…I sont likw thia unnecessary passing in the defensive end.
If teams like Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Newcastle take points off Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City and Nottingham Forest can keep winning and clean sheets these stats will help them at least finish 🥈. It’s a big ‘IF’ but without outscoring their opponents they’ll need this to continue around them.
They didn't do anything against Ipswich and they had to DIVE to get the cheapest pen to beat us. Robbed us of a clear bound 0-0
Mans talking like it’s rocket science to play football 😂
I'm just happy for Nuno Espírito Santo
