When we're at full tilt I don't think either Griffiths or Forrest will start.

Our top starting 3 up front will be Roberts, Dembele, Sinclair. :thumbsup:
I'd be ecstatic about that if Roberts was ours.

Since when did Rodgers play with wingers? He plays more with inside forwards and therfore I see no reason why Griffiths can't do something similar to Suarez in terms of his position.
Suarez was always a striker at Liverpool. Never played outside.
Sturridge often played wide of Suarez but no one saw him as a winger.

Likewise Neymar plays off the left for Barca and Messi on the right - they're still forwards who score a ridiculous amount of goals. In the past David Villa and Henry played wide left and similarly scored plenty. If Griffiths starts from the right he'll be asked to play a similar role to the aforementioned guys, he won't be playing like an outside winger, so I don't see the issue at all.

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.
If we a play a 4-3-3 it's not really on the wing though? In fact it's pretty much the position Griffiths is most effective attacking from. Almost an old fashioned inside forward. Absolutely no problem with him playing there

Mines isn't, yours certainly is.

Forrest has been average at best for years and doesn't deserve a place ahead of a guy that hit 40 goals last season, that isn't irrelevant.
Aye because playing Griffiths out wide is sound and ignoring Forrest's current form by using previous form is a great indicator of his future form.

TF Brendan knows what he's doing, or seems to be.
Current form? The past 2 games :lol:

The past 2 games are relevant, the previous 4 seasons aren't :thumbsup: a Ned singing a stupid song in a pub is as relevant as a player regressing for 4 years when talking about which player should start. :lol:

So that's three of you wrong so far.

Forrest did t play as an inside forward in his last three matches. Swapping Griffiths for him there would be sheer folly.

Who's saying it would be like for like?

Forrest and Roberts are the type that hug the touch line, Griffiths wouldn't be.

Roberts is absolutely not a player who hugs the touchline. He's at his most dangerous driving inside on his left foot

He does. If the balls in the middle of the park he'll stay wide waiting on the ball, isolate the FB then cut inside. I'm not saying he tries to beat his marker down the line and get a cross in. I didn't explain my point well :thumbsup:

This will be a good example of what Rogers is able to do with a player. We have all watched Forrest and know he has the skill and pace to fly past people but also have seen him disappear in games and get his head down when his confidence drops.

I'm a long way from changing my view on James Forrest. It will take a lot more than 2 performances in a row to make up for the last 4 years!

The good news is my tourettes symptoms everytime he comes on the pitch have eased a little!

I'll be happy if Brendan can cure my Tourettes altogether and make a consistent performer out of him!

Let's see what the next couple of months brings.

He's in form and long may it continue. All I'm saying is that Griffiths has earned his place in the team, no matter what position he plays, on the back of a superb season, Forrest was off the boil for years. At least we're debating who should start on merit, rather than last season when it was "he couldn't be any worse than......" :thumbsup:
