Nottingham Forest PL (H) | Man of the Match

[Jazzyblue]

Had to be blistering Doku for me, but last night really showed how much we had missed De Bruyne, Dias, Ake and Grealish for much of the season too. Great to see Gundo and Bernie looking more like themselves again. Beyond the scoreline, that was the team performance of the season for me, pure poetry at times - I hope Pep sticks as close to that format as possible for a while yet, even if it means keeping Phil on the bench for a bit.

Lovely to see us back on form. KDB and Doku instrumental with Jack not far behind IMHO. Great atmosphere aswell.

Gone for Kev, Bernie a very close second.

Tbh they nearly all had pretty good games but, although not possible I'd ideally give Pep the award. Unless in SS3 most in the ground wouldn't have seen the set up in our goal kicks on the touchlines to really stretch Forest.

Edit. Just looked at the poll results I'm amazed that Bernie is so low. I assumed it'd be a 5 way split with Ortega making a show along with Jack and Ducky.

Kev or Doku for me. KdB showed what we lacked and Doku was immense.

Special mention to Jack, who played really well in the middle.

 

[kaz7]

Kev was the spark that lit everyone else into action

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Ruben.

Superb for 95 minutes !!

Gone w1th Kev, Grealish had a good game as did Doku, but his decision making is shocking

I can accommodate the decision making as long as he thumps one in.

I thought it was a toss up between Jack 'n Jezzer but then Kev had a very good game, apart from the heart stopping moment when that New Zealand leg o' lamb latched on to a KdB no man's land pass!

I'm gonna vote Jack. I've wanted him to start a game in the position Villa played him, and he had major control in the middle of the pitch.

Grealish

He was brilliant in the middle now keep him there

Followed by Kev and Doku

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Gone w1th Kev, Grealish had a good game as did Doku, but his decision making is shocking

Haaland just gave up making runs at one point.

maybe if he thumped one in on a regular basis you'd have a case, but one in 17 or 18 appearances doesn't cut it I'm afraid
