Loved the little floated cross into Dembele for the header. Good player when confident.
He "dinks" those crosses from the byeline as good as any winger I've seen.

Best bit about it was the extra second he held off for, leaving his opponent on his erse. Romario used to do that all the time with goalkeepers.

Between him getting to the byline and 'dinking' it and KT confusing the other full back with cut backs we've got 2 very different and exceptionally effective forwards delivering at the moment. The assists count only backs that up (particularly when you consider that a bunch of Dembele's assists have come from the same move but with him passing instead of shooting). BR is really focussing on playing to the players's individual strengths and it's proving an excellent method.

Here's an interesting one. Forrest made his 19th league appearance today. In his 6 full seasons since making his debut he has made the following number of league appearances:
10/11: 19
11/12: 29
12/13: 15
13/14: 16
14/15: 19
15/16: 19

When he makes his 20th appearance next week it will already be his 2nd most successful season in terms of appearances and this season he may make 30 appearances for the 1st ever time. It only further underlines the great work Rodgers, Driscoll and the team are doing although I would credit Ronny with carefully managing his comeback.

He's also on 5 league goals and 5 assists. In 11/12 he got 7 goals and 6 assists so in fewer games he's close to eclipsing that. Empirically he's proving to be fitter and more effective than ever and of course we can see his all round game has improved in terms of tracking back. A fantastic improvement and yes, somewhere back through this thread you'll see me saying he's done. Humble pie has never tasted so good.

MOTM by a distance today in my opinion. Really good to see him playing consistently.

His work rate this season has been tremendous. Even when he is not at his best he puts a shift in. Interestingly I thought the right hand side with him and Lustig was more effective for large parts of the game today. Usually KT and Sinclair are the best pairing.

Another great game today. Bar a wee 4 or 5 game dip he has been excellent all season.

I had a good view of that and it didn't look close to being over.

Agreed. Was never over.
Was excellent today, Chalmers was dizzy at one point.

Excellent player when on his game and, like a lot of wide players, consistency is...well, inconsistent.

Bawman, having said that, the better wide men are less inconsistent and less poor less often and you can certainly say this of him more than ever. GMS is the inverse at present with ineffectual displays briefly punctuated by good moments.

No, it wasn't close to being out.
Another tremendous decision.

He was excellent today.
Stevie Hammell will be glad that that's the last time he'll face him this season.

I've been a massive critic of this for a long time but I'll hold my hand up, I thought he was outstanding there.

He's having a good season so let's hope he keeps it going and kicks on.

Probably not, but he is back to being the player he promised to be when he first played in the team; I still think he isn't up to CL standard, but then again less than 50% of the current squad are.
