Think it's hilarious those giving it they weren't convinced, he showed some very good signs and is still young, the only ones doubtful must have been those looking for an instant impact; doesn't always happen immediately and shows we have some folk too willing to write players off immediately. |

Calm doon FFS ![]() Everybody still loves Griffiths, but there is definitely a debate on whether the overall team plays better with Dembele up front. It's a perfectly valid point and it might be something we explore. It's a great problem to have. |

Because he's not as effective as griff. I don't get this Forrest thing. I'm never down on a Celtic player but I think this guy should be doin a lot more. Whether he can or not is debatable |

They play in different positions. If BR wants to play yesterday's system, Forrest will always get the nod over Griffiths. Also, he should be doing a lot more? Before yesterday, he'd scored 3 in 3. Edited by Jack Thaler, 11 Sep 2016, 11:25 AM.

Very good yesterday, though I'm sure I wasn't the only one screaming for him to square it to Sinclair for the second! He needs to be a bit more aware and clever with his back to goal in terms of using his body to block the challenge of the centre-half (a la Sutton) or moving towards the ball more quickly if needed. That'll come though, he's 20 years old and even with his flaws a very good player. We're lucky to have him. |

If Forrest gets benched it will be for Roberts to come in and play the same position. Griffiths is nowhere near as effective playing put wide. We've been greeting about not having two quality strikers for ages. Now that we have them, folk feel the need to shoehorn them in at the expense of a formation which is giving us the best football we have seen in years. There's will be times when we go with two up front. Might be required if we have become a bit too predictable. But while we are scoring 4 and 5 goals in almost every game it would be mental to change it. Edited by Novelty_Bauble, 11 Sep 2016, 11:29 AM.

It isn't 'safe to say' at all. We're 11 games in. He's still very much in the 'getting started' phase. The way folk earlier in this thread were willing to jump on him after two appearances was effing embarrassing. It's now created a total lie that he was somehow either, pish, or as you said, a slow starter in his early career. |

I think 451 is normally the safer option, but in Scottish games we should absolutely be playing 2 up front. Both Griffiths and Dembele are absolutely deadly, they could be our best strike partnership since Hartson/ Sutton left. Dembele is hitting great form and it would be total madness to drop Griffiths who is arguably our best player. Between these 2, Roberts and Sinclair we have the potential to be an extremely dangerous counter-attacking team. The big question is how to play in the CL, and although I rate Griffiths a lot I think Dembele has shown he has better physical attributes for a lone striker. We're clearly gonna be on the back foot in the CL so 451 is the safer option. Edit: I realise Griffiths was injured yesterday and not dropped, this made it look like I didn't.

He should have and Sinclair was going off his head before the ball hit the net.He made up for it so to speak by playing him in later. |

Aye fair enough for the people who were talking about time being up for him in July. I was not convinced based on the fact that several of his performances have been unconvincing. That's not to say I wrote him off or didn't think he could come good. Just as there were promising signs there we also some uncertain ones. |

It isn't 1994 anymore, mate. Playing two up front doesn't mean more goals, you know. |
