James Forrest, all chat in here.

hes a great player ! will be a celtic star long into the future ! one thing is he kinda moans to much !

 

starting to fall into the ,hands up looking for fouls when loosing possession brigade, instead of trying to chase back to recover , good wee player though ,just not at that level yet,we have expected to much from him though.

 

Lost count of the amount of times he throws his hands out by his side Even does it when celebrating.

 

Agree. Brilliant talent but he will be burned out before the end of the season. Played so much this season already. Brown coming back at the right time

 

Fans expecting to much from him in my opinion (including myself) Great talent but nothing more than that the now !! Think he looked tired and out of depth tonight if I'm being honest !! Would leave him out of the starting line up on Sunday to give him a rest and get him fresh for the upcoming games !!! Keep him fresh and fit and will be a big player and continue improving !

 

I would play him every important game we have, especially this weekend. It shows how good he has been this season that whenever he has a mediocre game like this weekend or today people are calling for him to be rested because they think its due to fatigue. He cant be brilliant every game but even these last two games when he hasnt played the greatest hes largely done very well when given the ball he just hasnt seen it enough.

 

I'm not one for overprotecting youth players but hes had alot of game time recently and the odd game on the bench up to Christmas wouldn't do him any harm.

As a teenager though, hes naturally going to be inconsistent.

Alot of pressure on the lad given the hopes that are being pinned on him.

 

Another great game for Forrest.

 

I wasnt expecting Forrest to be this good until next season. Over the last 4 or 5 games he has upped a level. Him. Wanyama, Cha and Hooper were excellent today.

 

Invisibe in the first half but a storming second

 

Yup, another fine showing from him today.

 

Amazing after ht , Still needs to get his head up more and look at the support with him ,instead of going him self at times and running out of ideas.

Still a young lad will bags of talent and a * of a lot to learn , But he is one * of a talent and untouchable when on form.

 

Excellent play in the second half from Jamesy, he is becoming such a magnificent player.

 

I think the only thing we have to watch with Forrest is maybe tiring him out this season, he is the only one to have played in every game this season, the vast majority of them the full 90 minutes so I think we have to be looking to start to give him little rests here and there.

 

Great 2nd half performance.

 

One of the most exciting youngsters to make the break through in many a year.

I thought he was very quiet first half today but whatever he had in his half time cuppa worked wonders.

Like others my fear is he will burn out and become too tired if not given rest when needed.

 

Poor first half (most of the team the same) but what a storming second half.

I'm putting the first 45 down to a Euro hangover.

This lad is vital for us now, I really hope he doesn't get shunted to the left to accommodate Broony.

 

Big future for the lad no doubt.

 

I think we have a player on our hands here, he is pacey, he is direct, he has excellent movement off the ball and he has been one of our main players this year. Dragged us out of a hole a good few times.

He has coped well with being the main focus of attack in both the SPL and in Europe, something that IMO should never be put on a 20 year olds shoulders (shooders :icon_mrgreen

However in the last 3 or 4 months something has been irritating the life out've me about him, his lack of willingness to close down opponents and chase back when he loses the ball has been absolutely doing my * in. At points against Udinese I was just sat their gobsmacked thinking no matter how talented you are you always need to work your * off for the good of the team. Players like McGeady and Nakamura knew this and done it to the best of their ability.

Today I was sitting watching the game and noticed a difference, he chased every ball and he was covering for Cha Du Ri a lot when he was out on the right hand side.

If he keeps this up, his all round game he can go on to be a legend. Hopefully Lenny's got a hold of him and it is the last we see of him stopping mid challenge to stare at the referee with his hands in the air.
