Nottingham Forest PL (H) | Man of the match

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Could have given it to any one of:
Haaland
Alvarez
Stones
Bernardo

But went for Gundogan he absolutely ran the show.

'Player' of the Match

Fucking lol.

Anyway.....my choice for the MOTM award was Alvarez.

 

[Saddleworth2]

What a team performance that was. The motm could go to any one of seven or eight players. The thing with Haaland is he is extraordinary. That first goal was so good as Phil simply chipped the ball into space trusting that Haaland would get there. And he did whilst holding off the CB.

My choice though falls between Gundo and Rodri who simply made us tick and made us play. By a hairs breadth, Gundo who was simply superb all night.

Same here. Goal scorers will always catch the eye but whilst Haaland is a superb talent he completes what has been set up for him. Players like Gundogan provide the platform for the goal scorers to excell.

 

[Cellarite]

Alvarez with Haaland a close second.

 

[Akira]

Going for Haaland but everyone was fantastic.

 

[Harvster]

Could have given it to any one of:
Haaland
Alvarez
Stones
Bernardo

But went for Gundogan he absolutely ran the show.

All of the above were fantastic, but though he only played about an hour, Rodri was magnificent

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

I went for the hat-trick hero, but Julian, Gundo (especially first half), Stones and Bernie were all exceptional

 

[blue b4 the moon]

All did well, three standouts, Alfie jnr, Alvarez and John Boy.

Our goal scoring machine shades it.

I pondered any of Bernardo, Ilkay, Rodri - as others said they bossed the game and created the opportunities. Alvarez - a forward who runs around a lot (we do like that!) and scores goals (like that even more) or Stones and Dias who didn't let Forest have any sniff of goal. But in the end the Viking makes the difference - his awareness of where the chance will come and his instinctive finishing are something we have rarely seen before. I think his first touch was the first goal, his second touch was the lay off to Foden that then broke for his third touch and the second goal - this is what we have been missing, he doesn't need to miss a couple before scoring - everything else builds on the confidence that the bog man will score.
