Nottingham Forest boss Ange Postecoglou has been speaking to the media before Sunday’s Premier League game against Newcastle<\/a> at St James’ Park (kick-off 14:00 BST).<\/p>\n

Here are the key lines from his news conference:<\/p>\n

He said Thursday’s Europa League defeat by Midtjylland “is still pretty raw and fresh, but it’s the reality of football”.They “have reviewed the game this morning and given feedback to the players.” He denied they got a “rollicking”, but said “you have to be honest” with them.On what is going wrong: “We’re not dealing with key moments in games very well. We’re creating opportunities but not being ruthless enough. It’s a combination of things we need to fix.”In response to whether he fears for the safety of his job: “I get it. It’s a valid assumption in modern football as there’s always a manager under pressure. It’s part and parcel of the game. I don’t think that way. It doesn’t enter my head.”More on the pressure: “My responsibility is making sure the team progresses and if I start putting timelines to that, or wondering what is going to happen next week, then I am not performing the role I was given.”He said he “would be very surprised if anyone thought it would be an overnight” fix and “results to one side, there’s plenty of evidence we have changed the fundamentals around how we do stuff”.On facing Newcastle: “It’s a tough game. If we can go there and get a result then it would certainly lift everybody and get the belief we can turn our current situation around. It’s always a cracking atmosphere. It’s an exciting fixture too, so I am looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n
