Took us to a hostile and aside from a chance or two for them we completely dominated. If only some of his players could take more chances this would have been a much bigger score.

Follows up a dire loss, managing a side running through brick walls for the shirt.

One of his best nights for me, I feared a defeat. A makeshift spine of Bizot, Mings/Lindelof  and Tielemans/Bogarde ...and we were superb, played some terrific stuff. His will to win, and passion is magnificent.

Unai is obviously fantastic and incredibly passionate, but I thought the stuff with Tielemans was pretty poor. Regardless of explanation it’s not really appropriate.

We have an eccentric football genius in charge, let’s embrace it. There’s seemingly no harm done.

Brian Clough used to right hook supporters and kiss interviewers on the lips. Turned out ok for Forest (ok maybe not in the end).

It's not the first time a manager and player have had a spat and it won't be the last. It's hardly worth worrying about.

Not a big deal.

Telegraph suggests he didn’t like the cheap yellow card and I can see why given our lack of midfield depth. It’s what i thought it was probably about.

I think the push away was because he wanted to concentrate on the final few minutes of the game.

A lot of fuss over nothing. “He’s my son” was an amusing way to brush it off.
