Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s his last match for us.

But Moyes did start him today and he performed well. Maybe Moyes knows he creates chances so does need him in the team. I hope he is not sold as we need as much creatively as we can.

I thought Said was excellent today. I think if he stays and can stay in the team he can be a real asset. Definitely the most creative player we have (albeit one of the ost frustrating at times!)

Without a doubt I'm his biggest critic on here, but I thought he played well yesterday.

Our MotM by some distance.

Or he was good because he was playing against a team which was his level?

Forest were nothing special yesterday and good on them getting 3 points but those 3 points may prove invaluable later in the season.

Benrahma has the odd decent game then goes missing again - yesterdays game hopefully increased his stock but we can't go without 1 replacement at least if we was to shift him.

Which seems odd to me, hasn't he had a point to prove since he joined us?
Played very well yesterday, is there any consistentcy or is he a flat track bully only turning up against poor defenders?
The jury is still out for me.

Indeed, but I think he was playing angry yesterday, which showed in his goal celebrations towards the bench.

I think if a suitable offer arrives, he will be next out the door..

I think that's an oversimplified suggestion.
He is dangerous when he gets the ball higher up the pitch.
We had more possession and higher up so it's gets more out of him.

Some games we are deeper and need pace. Some games we have possesion and need guile.

Choose the right players for the right games.

I was saying on the way up to Nottingham yesterday I think he is a flat track bully, I think there’s evidence for that over his time with us so far.

I hope he can prove me wrong because he has got talent as he showed yesterday. It’s just his good performance are irregular and always seemingly against the weaker teams.

I think I posted on the Forest match thread after seeing the starting 11 that Benrahma will want to make an impression if there was any truth in the links towards the same club. He certainly did just that!

On another day he could’ve had 2 goals.

If we want to be a regular top half side then I'm fine with someone who is not first choice being a flat track bully. Let them ensure we're consistent against the bottom half and let the main man take all of the glory.
