Well, I disagree. His biggest problem is that he´s a bad finisher, not that he´s played out of position. From the left he gets into a good scoring position 3-4 times in every match. Don´t see how playing him on the right would make him more effective. |

What is his preferred position? Is it playing on the right? The reason that Ronny has him on the left is that Jamesie dribbles using the outside of his right foot. Fine going outside a left back. But when shown inside he is playing the ball towards the defender. Therefore quite often he loses possession rather easily. Coming in from the left the ball is being played away from the defender so he keeps possession more often. He is then more able to play in the striker, play in the overlapping left-back or have a shot on his stronger side. |

If he's anywhere near that team today, i'll greet. He is an absolute waste of a jersey, no matter what side of the park you put him. |

A little bit of both is my impression. As I said I don't rate him very highly anyway - I've said before I'd have GMS in the side before him as I think he's got more to his game. |

No he wouldn't. To play on the counter you need either an eye for a pass or lightning pace. Forrest doesn't have an eye for a pass and his pace is overrated as eff. It's mythical stuff. It's ok. Nothing better, nothing worse. Mind we were told that when Forrest could stay injury free we'd see the real James Forrest? That's worked out well.

He continuously cuts inside when playing on the right too and usually into lots of opposition players.The suggestion that playing on the left is the problem is nonsense. People have been on here making the same excuses for him for the last 2 -3 years and if he signs that new contract I wouldn't be surprised to see the same excuses being made on here in 4 years. Settling for his level of inconsistency sadly tells us where we are as a club. I don't know who he thinks is going to want him with his injury record and inconsistency, but let him get on with. He's not good enough. Edited by ghirl86, 13 Feb 2016, 12:38 PM.

Right footed players playing on the left and vice versa is hardly unique to us. Teams all over the world do it. In theory, it should give him the opportunity to cut inside to shoot or play someone in using his stronger foot or get to the touchline and cross it with his left foot. You know, that thing beside his right foot that he gets paid handsomely to practice with? His pace is gone. Most fullbacks, even in Scotland, are equally as quick as him now. His biggest issue though, is the fact he's not very good at football. |

Most natural right footed players tend to cut inside when played on the left wing. The trouble is teams in Scotland pack their defenses when playing us and Forrest eventually runs into trouble. He is a right sided player and when he has played well for us most of the time it has been on the right. I fault Celtic for failing to develop Forrest. This is a guy who had all kinds of potential. Played for Scotland as a youth, under 21s and Scotland in the world cup qualifier this year under Strachan and played well. So where has it all gone wrong for him ? look no further than the club and Ronnie that great developer of talent. My arse. |

Aye, it's Deila's fault that Forrest has been shampooe for the majority of his time in our first team. |

I am talking about him when he plays on the right side. He still continuously cuts inside which is one of the main reasons he runs into trouble. Edited by ghirl86, 13 Feb 2016, 08:45 PM.
