James Forrest

Roberts didn't do half of what Forrest done mate. He was dangerous the whole time he was on the park and worked his bollocks off when he didn't have the ball.

Roberts is a fantastic player but he has to bide his time for now.

 

Agree, Sean. Thought Forrest did well in the first half, but he faded as the game went on.

 

His final ball let him down today. He never picked out any Celtic players with his crosses, and sometimes his lack of skill let him down. A couple of times he was one on one with a hun defender and didn't really know what to do.

To be fair, I thought Roberts (other than that cross field dribble) was below par as well. Lost the ball a lot and skied a shot from outside the box as well.

 

didn't show up in the hi-lights I watched so not sure how he played. Buying a paper the morn so i'll see what rating he gets .

 

Forrest picked out Rogic at least twice in the first half, that's off the top of my head.

 

I'll be interested to see what others say.

 

He had his moments in the game started well but did fade away.

I really like Forrest but would have Roberts over him 9/10

 

I'm not a big Forrest fan but thought he done OK today. He needs to work on his end product. I would still have Roberts in ahead of him every day of the week. Roberts is a much bigger goal threat

 

Thought he started off well but faded, got into a few dangerous positions for crosses but didn't amount to much in the end. Wasn't good enough to warrant huge praise or do anything obviously wrong to call him out on, alright.

His workrate getting back is still better than it's ever been, hope it continues, but once Roberts is back fully match fit he's first choice in that position.

 

FWIW, I thought Forrest was one of our most dangerous players in first half, the ball seemed to go to him constantly. Played better than Roberts, imo.

 

That's it in a nutshell for me. Nothing extra special but more productive than Roberts.

Forrest starts in the Nou Camp.

 

Didn't think he was poor at all contributed a lot in the starting phase of the game. Delighted for him and his revival

 

Thought he played well again.

 

Forrest did fine today but Roberts is a far superior player

 

He was shredding that Wallace apart. He wrong footed him about 4 times in a row and strolled by in the box. That's where griffiths comes in and would have been on the shoulder for forrest to pass to instead he had to cross or pass across the box. I'd start him in tuesday. While he's playing this good keep him on. Plus by 50 mins of constant defending and sprinting up the pitch he'll be shattered and need paddy on.

 

Paddy starts in the Nou Camp for me, he showed what he can do against them albeit was a friendly in pre-season.

Who do you trust to come up with a performance and provide a goal threat in the CL? Forrest or Roberts?

Roberts is the answer and we only have this special talent for a season now so need to make the most of him whilst we can.

 

Roberts hasn't earned his place yet, Forrest was better than him today and he will start.

It's as simple as that.
