His heart wasn't in it. I see. Amazing what some people are able to ascertain from watching a player on Tv. |

He barely broke into a jog and failed miserably in closing people down. It's hardly a leap to suggest his heart wasn't in it. Or are you just one of those uberfans who disagrees with any criticism of Celtic players? |

I have always liked the wee fella and like many before him wanted to see him do well and succeed. Its been 3 years now since he emerged and although there have been moments of brilliance there has been far too many games were he has frustrated. Inabilty to cross a ball when in a decent position always rankles with me as does his powderpuff shots at goal. Maybe im just more cynical as i get older but it just seems that we have all been here before and the wee man isnt reaching the potential we thought he could achieve. Real shame. |

If that is the case then I can understand us playing the waiting game with him. He has qualitiy and has shown that on occasion but I just feel we are always waiting on something clicking with Forrest and we've been waiting a long time now. |

Fair enough. Argue semantics if you like. But if I see a footballer making half hearted efforts to close players down and refuse to chase long balls, when he's clearly been put on to use his pace as an out ball, to me that's shows his heart isn't in it. Watch the build up to the Inter goal again, and compare his effort to his teammates who'd been on the pitch a whole lot longer. Now I'm off to bed. |

He has quality, no doubt about it , He has been totally crucified by injuries for the last two years as we all know, I feel sorry for him, its also affected his confidence and it looks like he is scared to use that short burst of speed which was so effective in case the injury comes back, Hope he gets a break and returns to the player he was ! |

Lads no harm to all of you--three good goals, one of which Forrest made out of nothing. But if you wanted a properly representative 'highlights' package of Forrest then you'd have to include the rest of his time failing to beat his man, huffing and puffing when played centrally, putting in shampooe crosses and generally giving the ball away cheaply. If he was doing what he did in that video on a consistent basis we'd have no complaints with him. No doubt he has talent but he has been awful for too long now. Needs a move on loan or permanently. |

Aye really. Anyone fancy rhyming off the matches that James Forrest looked the superstar half the folks in here think he was/is/might be * when fit. I think he had a run of about 2 games once when he looked exciting. The end. |

In their careers to date, Forrest has played well and more consistently at a higher level than GMS. Whether GMS can play a more crucial role in seasons to come is a possibility based on his appearances so far. What bugs me about the debate is the amount of hyperbole and the enthusiasm with which some posters (not you, bp) trash a player who has made a significant contribution to Celtic's recent successes. |

Too many on here equate criticism as heartless comments made by loudmouths using the internet for anonymous cheap shots. Plenty of them around, I'll grant you, but there are others who are clear thinking, and who can see for themselves when a players is no longer at the races, or who was never at the races. For me Forrest's time a Celtic is done and dusted, cherry picking one or three golden moments only serves to highlight this, not the opposite. |

Forrest's time under Deila has been seriously hampered by injury. I'd like to see what Deila can do with Forrest when he has been given time to recover and whether he can start to play himself back into the team. Probably needs to be brought on slowly and build for next season but those wanting rid now are jumping the gun. Maybe he won't fulfil all the potential we hoped for but he's young enough to be afforded a bit more time to show what he can do under a new manager. |

I still think he's got something to offer. He's very unlucky with injuries but yeah, his time might be up soon if he doesn't get over them |
