Griffiths isn't overly quick. I don't get how you think he does. |

He's not extremely quick but has a good change of pace. |

He'd be one of the quickest in our squad. |

He's not very quick over distances but he's good at making runs in behind. He still has decent pace, though. Like against Hearts, he wasn't roasting their defender before his cross for Sinclair but a small burst of pace got him in behind. Regarding Forrest being considered ahead of Roberts against high pressing teams, I think Roberts' sheer quality trumps Forrest's pace. If Forrest shows more of what he's capable of consistently then he'd have a case, but for now Roberts is always first pick imo. Edited by ChiliPepper, 12 Aug 2016, 12:56 PM.

A bit more than that, as he showed last weekend for Sinclair's goal. Would you rather have Griffiths or Forrest on the right? |

Forrest. By a mile. Griffiths is abysmal on the wing. |

I'd find room for a 40 goal a season striker before I'd play Forrest. He'd still contribute more. |

That was more about the defender buying his dummy to cross before taking an extra touch than his pace. That stuff he doesn't get away with in Europe against better quality defenders and struggles because of it. |

That's a really remedial argument. I'd rather play Griff through the middle where he's best, and Forrest on the right where's he's best, there's not point in square pegs in round holes. Griff playing wide would probably mean more goals for Griff than Forrest, but I'd argue that the team would be poorer for it. Edited for shampooe grammar. Edited by only1henke, 12 Aug 2016, 02:55 PM.

I'm not suggesting he plays like Roberts, play him on the right and he's going to naturally drift inside and hit shots with his left like he does a lot of the time now. He scored 2 crackers doing that in pre season. He'd probably score more goals than Forrest but the team would be worse off? Scoring more than Forrest wouldn't be hard. I'm actually amazed people would start Forrest ahead of Griffiths, even if it means Griffiths playing wide. Griffiths is too good to leave out and even as a square peg in a round hole would be far better on the right than Forrest despite Forrest having 2 good games in a row for the first time in years.

Griffiths is not a winger and he is wasted when he is played there. Play players in their right positions. Shouldn't shoe horn someone in just because you want to find a space for them. Griffiths either starts up front or bench. |

We will see what Rodgers preferred formation is when we have an injury fee full team to select from. If he goes for a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 (when Rogic plays) then it's going to be a tough job for Brendan to determine who our number 1 striker is going to be. Although over the course of the season in 4 conpetitons I still expect them both to get a lot of game time. Griffiths shouldn't be on the wing no matter what. Sinclair and Roberts on the wings for me with Forrest back-up. Edited by Haitch, 12 Aug 2016, 03:12 PM.

We're not talking about Charlie Mulgrew, Griffiths is our best player. |

He isn't. Sinclair is a far better player and has played at a far higher level. Roberts is also a better player. Edited by remy mcswain, 12 Aug 2016, 03:19 PM.
