'Absolutely unreal'… Nottingham Forest fans all agree on their Man of the Match vs West Ham
11/03/2024 04:35 AM
Nottingham Forest fans must be in dreamland right now as results continue to go their way in the Premier League, and one player in particular is getting the praise.
Nuno Espirito Santo has got his side looking like a prime Barcelona right now, with just Liverpool and Manchester City ahead of them in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest‘s defensive record crept closer to Liverpool, too, having conceded just one more than the Reds now, thanks to another clean sheet against West Ham.
The spirit is at an all-time high amongst the Nottingham Forest players right now. This was evident after the game as Ola Aina even mocked West Ham as he let out a song and a dance.
However, it’s not a time to get ahead of ourselves, as a tough run of fixtures awaits that will really determine whether we are serious European challengers.
Regardless, there was one player that Nottingham Forest fans singled out for praise after the game, as they picked their Man of the Match.
Nicolas Dominguez’s performance in numbers against West Ham
Nicolas Dominguez was brought into the side mainly after Morgan Gibbs-White’s injury to allow Elliot Anderson to move higher up the pitch, and he’s rewarded his boss for the trust.
The midfielder was everywhere once again against West Ham, constantly breaking up play and harassing the opposition attackers into giving the ball up.
He played the full 90 minutes. During this time, he had 70 touches, a passing accuracy of 89%, made one key pass, won seven duels, made five tackles, one clearance and one interception.
Nuno Espirito Santo is making a habit out of getting the very best out of these kind of players, and long may it continue at the City Ground.
