    This is the season where Wee Jimmy has grown up. Brilliant on and off the ball. He is confident and creating space for others.

    His close control, eye for a pass, composure under pressure, football intelligence...it's all came on leaps and bound this season.

    He looks every inch the reliable, experienced pro he is, an important influence on the team like Broony now.

    I really can't believe I had all but written him off a couple of years back.....playing out his skin right now and has been for quite a while under BR and it's absolutely brilliant to watch.....great player.

    He has found a whole new level - a level I didn’t think he had. He is tormenting defences in Europe.

    Incredibly STUPID from Rodgers to bench him.

    Really was.

    I feel like I am living in a parallel universe now. The only player out there who showed some heart and looked like doing anything was James Forrest. Hard to believe when I think back to seasons past. Incredible that Brendan Rodgers subbed him. Disgusting actually. The only possible explanation can be that he was saving him for Sunday.

    Looked to me like the only player that was trying to get past his man and create something. :43:

    POTY. Only player who looked like making something happen. One of very few who looked like they gave a *.

    * madness taking him off.

    lost all attacking threat down the right hand side once he was subbed, need a proper right back to offer him support the way Tierney and Sinclair work on the left. if we get that then Forrest could be even better, get him paired with gamboa or Ralston asap.

    Only guy that ever looked like reaching the heights of the previous week.

    He is at the peak of his powers right now. Wrong decision to whip him off.

    Feel sorry for him. Playing out his skin all season, carrying the team at times. Only to be dropped when Lustig is still on the pitch ffs.
    And he knows as soon as Roberts comes back, he’ll be looked down at, again.

    When Roberts returns Forrest should either shift to the left or even play as a striker. His hat-trick has a proper striker's hat-trick.

    I dont think you could fault his effort tonight. Gave it his all, just didnt come off for him.
