Definitely a case of two points dropped but a very strong performance again for me. Particularly with Martinez pulling out in the warm up. My main moan is with Emery as I thought he left those subs at least 10 mins too late. Buendia in particular looked razor sharp when he came on. Don't really recall any of the Forest danger men doing much.
Bizot 7 - understandably shaky start but was fine afterwards.
Cash 6 - very slow start but much better after half time.
Lindelof 8 - surprise selection perhaps but our best defender yet again. Don't recall a poor game for us yet.
Torres 7 - untroubled really and used the ball well.
Digne 5 - defensively ok I guess but so conservative in possession
Onana 8 - very good, won the ball back countless time and gave it to our better footballers.
Tielemans 6 - a bit meh, nothing bad but maybe half a yard off the pace
McGinn 9 - outstanding from the first whistle to the last, some battle with Williams
Rogers 6 - first half was best from him in ages, made the goal and very unlucky not to score. But very poor after half time and a diabolical miss.
Barkley 6 - not sure about him at 10 anymore. Some nice touches and passes, similar to Tielemans but a bit meh overall.
Watkins 7 - two big chances missed, one at end had to go in. Just smashed it. But nothing wrong with his hold up play and movement today.
