Great result. Doucoure gets terrible stick in here but somehow always seem to pop up and grab an important goal….

 

[Bedfordblue]

What was that Doucoure celebration, imitating writing / signing something then making a phone call……. Reckon it was a ‘where’s my new contract’ msg myself.

 

[blueblueskies]

Credit to Moyes tactically worked them out and they were little or no threat. Fully deserved that at the end.

Didn't see the game but get in there

 

[Alan Whittle]

Well in Lids.️

 

[mahermi1]

Alcaraz, Beto and then McNeil of course added cutting edge.

Should have had 2 pens on Alcaraz, then Beto.

Doucoure with the finish and probably gives a reason now for Moyes to give him another 90.

3pts but at what cost.

Could easily have had two pens, but the media outcry after finally getting one last week is a relief really. Let's see if they all whinge this week.

Moyes knows what he is doing with doucs

Meh. He was utter wank again. I'm not sure the 1 goal in 10 is enough for him to be starting every game.

 

[davek]

much better of a team today. Think they’ll drop off next season.

Just shows how easy it is to stay in this PL and proper they're in a CL spot.

Who is voting Doucoure, hindered us the whole game, get a tap in and gets man of the match....

Sky have just described that as a 'smash and grab' win. I thought we had had most of the play.

We had more possession, they had 10 attempts on goal we had 13 attempts. They had 5 on target we had 5 on target. Don’t know how they can describe it as a smash and grab unless they are just pointing to how late we scored.

 

[Ring master]

Unreal win. Didnt think we would win to be honest. thought a 1-0 defeat or 1-1 at best. but totally deserved. and i dont even think Pickford had a save to make, a proper one anyway, credit to us and out defence

 

[Lloydaldo11]

Well studio analysis was all about forest having an off day.

Of course

57% possession and 13 shots (half from Jack scuffing rugby conversions) yet it’s a “smash and grab”

Usual manufactured Premier League narrative for their RS customers

 

[Furey1878]

I've been saying the same to myself all game.

How are these 3rd?? They offered nothing at home against team just out of the relegation zone.

They've had a bit of a perfect storm of being relatively injury free and other teams not being clinical against them as well as being brilliant on the counter. The way Forest play isn't a blueprint for long term success but if it gets them potentially Champions League and/or the FA Cup this year then absolutely hats off to them.
