    Hes been immense, probably theost effective he has been since he broke through in terms of goals and assists.
    Hes improved in almost every aspect from workrate, finishing and delivery.
    The boy needs a tune.

    Forrest could score 30 this season and some people still wouldn't be happy. A lot of the good will he has been getting so far this season will disappear if he has 1 poor game, some people just won't give him a chance.

    IMO the only season he has actually played poorly was Ronny's last season (as did most of the team). The other seasons were down to injury problems, and even then the games he did play he always impressed me. He has been one of the best 2 or 3 players so far this season at least, he needs to start against the Huns.

    I used to get on at him because all I ever saw was him bending over fixing his socks and shinnies or playing with his hair.

    He's removed that from his game :50:

    I'm just trying not to get too carried away, he had a great start last season then faded.

    If he played like this all the time we wouldn't have been so desperate for Roberts to come back.

    Definitely proud as * with Forrest this season.

    Last season you seen him putting in extra effort you'd never get our of him, this season he has pretty much cut out all of the * (whining pretty much).

    He's literally Rodgers' Celtic version of Raheem Sterling.

    Criminally-undervalued player now.

    Totally agree.. there was a moment against psg where tierney put a cross right into the keepers hands and the green brigade proceeded to sing his name for 5 minutes solid. Can you imagine the reaction if Forrest had done the same?

    Hugely underrated player within the support, hopefully he can shut up any remaining doubters on Saturday.

    Forrest reminds me a lot of Sammy, in the sense that he always chips in with the odd crucial goal but can easily ghost an entire game.

    Eventually he's form dip, it for now fair do's he deserves to start on Saturday.

    Would have been good to see him and his boaby on that right wing, I hope he comes on and scores.

    Has to start every game unless Roberts actually finds some form this season.

    Forrest has been influential as * most games he's come on and has looked the far better player.

    Delighted to see him playing with such maturity.

    Odd that he didn't start today in my opinion. Apart from the fact that Roberts probably needed the rest, I still think Forrest has been in better form overall all season. I don't think Paddy's done to be the out and out first choice RW.

    Definitely deserves the start vs Aberdeen.

    Defo looked good again comin on today. PR7 has been disappointing since he's came back. Maybe he's feelin the pressure too much trying to beat too many people. I would also like to see PR go down the line more as teams are too wise to him now cutting inside.

    Other than the bit of play when he cut inside on to his left and forced a good save, I thought he was pretty poor when he came on.
