Xaver Schlager has been quietly impressive for Nottingham Forest this season but what was missing was that big moment. It came in the 3-1 win over Manchester City on Saturday when he dispossessed Elliot Anderson for Liam Delap's first goal.
The free transfer from Leipzig nipped in ahead of the £116m man that he has replaced in Forest's midfield and set Delap on the way to doubling the lead. Schlager is no Anderson but he has his own qualities and they made the difference at the weekend.
