Nottingham Forest manager Vitor Pereira lauded his team's 0-3 Europa League victory over Fenerbahçe but stressed the need for a tactical overhaul ahead of their next match. Pereira acknowledged his players' effort and determination in securing the win but highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in midfield control and defensive transitions. The win temporarily boosts Forest's Europa League standing, though Pereira warned that complacency could derail their progress. Key players like Greyling and Williams stood out for their work rate and pressing intensity, though the manager emphasized that consistency in execution remains critical.

The team now faces a tougher test in their upcoming fixtures, requiring a more disciplined approach to avoid slipping back. Pereira’s post-match critique underscores the high stakes of the competition, where every point matters for deeper European advancement.
