James Forrest

Felt like choking him when he took forever to hit that shot.

If that Hearts player hadn't got that challenge in then Forrest would still be on the pitch the noo contemplating when to pull the trigger.

 

Funnily enough Forrest's last really good game for me was against Aberdeen in the final, but agree with you hopefully atleast one striker back and start Roberts ahead of him, hopefully it gives him a bit of a wake up call yet again mind you.

 

Had a poor game today .

 

Useless * was even late for The Huddle today

 

Certainly been off the boil of late. Needs to be dropped for Wednesday.

 

He usually turns up against Aberdeen. Although it should be from the bench this time

 

Roberts should start, but I think he'll go with Shooders because of his pace and tracking back..

 

His form has completely nosedived , Roberts from now on .

 

Played decent. Plays best when he's got space to drive by. An 10 man wall of players doesn't make that easy.

 

Was poor again last night needs dropped, I think the only reason he is still starting just now is our injury problems.

 

Frustrating player,when he's good he is very good but it just doesn't happen often enough,not sure what the story is with him.

 

I think he done very well last night considering he was a fullback, covered very well and kept covering at the back post when the high balls were getting launched that way. Could have done better going forward obviously, no where near the level of KT on the other side but it's a performance I would never have thought him capable of last year.

 

See I disagree with this, when he's good he's good, but he's never been exceptional. Haven't seen him take a game by storm, stand out display etc. He has games where he looks more effective and clinical but I've never been amazed by him in any game tbh, even his better ones.

Has too many quiet moments or poor composure in key moments.

 

Needs dropped when Dembele is back.

 

Exactly correct. People need to realise that Forrests game is about bursting into space and leaving players in his wake. Unfortunately when you have 10 men behind the ball sitting deep there is no space to run into. Forrest is much more effective against teams that actually attack us, so will definitely be in Rodgers plans for European games next season.

 

Cup final he was exceptional

 

And he's played every game since and done nothing, I still wouldn't say he was exceptional, I was surprised because he had such a good game.

 

Don't think he's been as poor as some describe, or thats he's completely nosedived since November. But he's certainly lost a bit of form and a few games as a sub wouldn't hurt to get him back up to speed. Problem is we need a fit striker to be able to take him out.

 

He's never been a consistent player, he goes hot and cold but when he's on his game he is electric. Personally he wouldn't be making my starting 11 when Dembele or Griffiths is fit again as his form has dipped in recent weeks, it doesn't make him a bad player though, yes he can be frustrating but far too many folk get on his back at every given opportunity (where i sit anyway), some folk need to cut the boy some slack at times i think.
