“similar to a Roy Keane” – Forest fans are full of praise for Alfa Semedo
Nottingham Forest fans on Twitter have been full of praise for Alfa Semedo after his performance against Leeds United on Saturday.
Forest got a 1-1 draw at Elland Road despite having just 32% of the possession, and a lot of credit has to be given to Semedo for work he carried out in the midfield.
He was a key figure in helping the defence keep Leeds at bay as he made four clearances and also made more interceptions than any other Forest player.
He also blocked one shot and completed two dribbles successfully.
To say that the Reds were on the back foot for most of the game, Semedo was rather impressive.
The East Midlands outfit are yet to win a game in the Championship this season, but fans are feeling confident that their new signing is a top-quality addition.
Supporters have been quick to state how impressed they were with the midfielder after his performance on Saturday.
Hes been great so far. Young kid in a foreign country . Will only get better

One supporter has already expressed that he’s gutted that Semedo is only at the City Ground on loan as she says she doesn’t want him to go back.
Considering I’d never (and possibly many more) had never seen him play, I’ve got to say he’s impressed me a lot. 2 games in and I already don’t want him to go back ?? sucks that he’s only on loan.

Another gave Semedo praise of the highest order as he compared him to former Forest star Roy Keane. The Irishman would, of course, go on to have unparalleled success at Manchester United winning multiple Premier League titles and a Champions League.
Very similar to a certain Roy Keane when he broke into the Forest first team. Great box to box player.
