    Thought he was our most positive player until he got taken off.

    Unbelievable from Rodgers bringing Forrest off. The only player looking dangerous. I'd have brought off that waste of space Lustig and moved to 3 at the back.

    You just know he was as bemused as any of us at being taken off, yet he didn’t show it and looked professional as he came off. Some man.

    I agree with that actually. Reckon he’d do a job anywhere across the front 3. I remember Lenny used to play him on the left sometimes, and he was decent.

    If we win the treble this year then we all owe a big thank you to Forrest.

    Forrest is having a great season and taking him off last night was the worst decision ive see Rodgers make. Id like to see him tried at fullback with paddy or musonda in front of him. I think he'd make a great attacking fullback who with his pace could overlap like *. Also tracks back really well and just now even if it didn't work he's still a better option that lustig .

    There were other players who could have been replaced but Forrest did very little in 70 mins

    It's amazing how I used to criticize him for not trying hard enough and now he is usually one of few proper busting his balls to create something for us. Must get * off with those around him.

    I’m the same. Even last season I was hard on the guy but he’s been our best player all season and doesn’t hide.

    Really want to see him produce a top performance against the Huns and rip them apart.

    Imagine how good he would be this season if we had a solid right back.

    The more I watch it, the better that cross gets. Didn't think much of it but you couldn't weight that any better. What a cross.

    Again one of our best players he is having a fantastic season.

    Just don't know why he has been subbed twice in the last two games when others have been dire.

    I wouldn't be surprised if him getting hooked has to do with maintaining his fitness. He's been riddled with injuries in his career but with Brendan he's done well; I wouldn't be shocked if him getting pulled early in certain games has to do with keeping him 100% and not risking a strain or pull. Would rather him play 70 high quality, high paced minutes than have him play 90 where he loses a bit of stamina and risks something. I don't know, just a thought.
