“Forest were purring in the first-half,” said Hodge.
“It was just domination. The technical ability and movement was so good that Fenerbache couldn’t live with it.
“If a team gives you license to get into pockets, get turned, hurt you, link play, get high up the pitch into good areas and give the ball to your wide players one against one against defenders they can beat, then that causes havoc. From the first minute you saw that,
“Sean Dyche will be sat at home thinking, ‘wow, where did that come from?’
“On the European stage, away from home, to play like that was just so good to watch. I am happy Pereira picked his best team tonight which was a bit of a gamble before Liverpool at the weekend.

“He got the back four together again, they never gave Fenerbache a sniff. That first XI was immense and a jot to watch. It has to be the new manager effect. They are human beings and they show what they feel on the pitch.”
