Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner on how his side can hurt Arsenal:
“No team has seven, eight big chances like we had against [Crystal] Palace [against Arsenal] but it’s possible to have two or three and then it’s on us to be clinical, taking the chances and then you have the chance to win the game.”
On how he encourages his strikers when they’e struggling: “Today the main topic was finishing in training and before the training I just told the players what we’re going to do and then I said the one who can explain it best how to deal with this situation is Chris Wood because I don’t know how many years [he has been] in the Premier League, and he’s scored almost 100 goals in the Premier League.
“Overall [he’s scored] around 200 goals in English football and he had to deal with these situations.
“You are in a flow and then it seems every chance is a goal and then [you have a run] where you miss some chances.
“I like what he said to the group. I said he could explain it better than me because I didn’t score many goals. I didn’t miss many chances because I didn’t get many chances.
“The key message, and I loved it, was ‘always be confident, never lose trust in yourself and there’s always another one around the corner’.
“That’s exactly how it is and I could see players start to smile and that’s how you best to deal with it.”
