As pish as he was he still came the closest to scoring. I agree he was poor in the first half, a little better in the second but he was a fair bit short of the quality we know he's capable of. |

Roberts scored more goals and assisted more goals in less starts and less overall playing time. Roberts is miles better than Forrest (and Hayes) and we're significantly weaker without him. Edited by McStay, 26 Jul 2017, 11:46 PM.

And? I watched every game we played last season. Overall, Forrest had a better season. |

Full back had Forrest beat for pace. When he came inside his pass was poor or there was no one showing for the ball. |

I thought Forrest had a very good first half of the season, but thought Roberts was much more effective when he got back in the starting 11. |

Probably BR's biggest mistake from last season albeit an understandable one. Roberts is so far ahead of Forrest it shouldn't even be a discussion. |

What utter nonsense. ![]() Forrest is a massive, massive downgrade on Roberts. Side pass, side pass, side pass, loses ball, side pass, side ball, occasional attempt at taking on full back, side pass etc |

This. Forrest started the season well, but he faded badly and should have been hooked from the team long before he was. When he did play after that he was his usual inconsistent frustrating self. |

I really, really want him to be a good Celtic player but I know now that it is a forlorn hope. He has peaked as a Celtic player and should be regarded as a squad filler who we would not really be worried at selling. Hayes looked better tonight and if those two are competing for the jersey, Hayes looks a better option. |

I've admitted Roberts is a better player. Forrest had a better season overall. The two aren't the same thing but whatever. Fire away ya absolute space cadet. |

On what basis did Forrest have a better season than Roberts last year? Hint: try facts and statistics. |

Assist stat is the most meaningless stat in football. Forrest was absolutely vital to how we played for a large part of the season. He was better than Roberts for most of the season hence why the manager started him more often. |

James Forrest dreams of being as good as Patrick Roberts. Defenders feared Roberts. No one fears Forrest. No one. |
