Fans of Nottingham Forest have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which highlights footage of attacking midfielder Tiago Silva training during the current break from football.
Silva has impressed for Forest since moving from Portuguese side CD Feirense last summer, with the 26-year-old scoring two goals and providing four assists in his 35 Championship appearances for the club.
In a recent post on Twitter, the midfielder showed fans exactly how he was keeping in shape during the current break from the football season, via slow-motion footage of the former Portugal U21 international training in a park.
In reaction to the footage, fans of Nottingham Forest took the opportunity to direct praise towards the player, with many stating their belief that he is currently underrated, while others responded lightheartedly, claiming that Silva should be running slightly faster than the slow-motion footage demonstrates.

Attacking output is poor but makes up for it in his ball retention, his ability to pick out a pass and his work rate quality player

What do we think?
The £1.8 million-rated Silva has impressed since his move to Forest last summer, averaging a very respectable WhoScored match rating of 6.84.
His performances have helped Nottingham Forest reach fifth place in the Championship table, putting them in with a good chance of qualifying for a play-off place come the end of the season, as the Reds currently sit five points above seventh-placed Bristol City.
