Forrest was hardly playing like a striker. Of course he was out of position and not criticising that. I mentioned Henderson as he is a hard working player who would have got himself involved. Forrest was anonymous is nowhere near up to speed. |

He had the Inter CBs for pace last night the once he was anywhere close to their box. He's just not a clever player, and a lazy bugger. |

To be fair I think John Hartson could have come straight out of the BT sports studio and went up front for us and he would have had Ranocchia beaten for pace. Forrest is still one of the quickest players we've got though, no argument there, just doesn't seem to be as quick as he was and I fear that might be gone for good. It's not the main problem with him. |

He needs a season away from us, abroad maybe like Tony Watt... It's sink or swim time for James.. |

Agreed. I'd punt him for several things before his drop in pace. |

What James Forrest needs is a season largely without injury. Only then can we really see what level he can be at. People talk about how long he's been in and around the first team, but he's spent a hell of a lot of that time on the treatment table. I think a pre-season without injury would give us a different James Forrest. He's being used sparingly because of his injury history. I think Ronny has Forrest in his plans for the team going forward. |

James Forrest has never been good at tracking back and defending. In fact, his record in trying is next to non-existent. There's no doubt that when he's fit (and can be bothered) he is a great attacking threat, but those occasions are few and far between for one reason or another. He'll need to put in the hard work to get into this Celtic team especially when GMS seems to have the skill and attitude we're looking for from our wide players. Remember Griffiths can play out wide as well and as much as I don't like him, he always gives 100% for the team - something I've rarely seen Forrest do. |

Pish attitude and constantly injured. I doubt we'll even notice when he does go. Expect him to rock up at Aberdeen in a few seasons time after failing in the English Championship. |

if you're not getting service then fair enough. When your teams down to 10 men the very least you should be doing high up the park is putting some pressure on a defence, especically if you are the 'fresh legs'. It was summed up late on in the game when he completely lost his man on the left hand side of the park, balls cut back and gordon makes the save, from the save we break and he gets the ball, loses it and just chucks it again. I dont know him personally but he gives me the impression that hes someone who thinks hes made it and really doesnt need to do much more now. ''wee jamesie'' is 24 this year, a year younger than armstrong who has came into the side and fitted superbly, despite the know it alls who think a signing from scotland = not good enough for Celtic. Forrest is probably about 5th choice now for a starting position and rightly so. If McGregor came on and played the way he did hed been getting slaughtered. |

He never has lasted more than a few months fit... and sadly he never will. It's time ti cut out losses and head in another direction. He showed alot of promise at first.... sadly hes remained the same player. He hasn't gotten any better, and never will due to his general fitness. |

He shirks responsibility and hides when he's on the pitch - for me the worst thing any footballer can do. Would sell him asap or give him away if no one wants to buy him. Really dislike this guy and that is something I have rarely said about any Celtic player in my 35+ years of watching them (Berkovic the last one I can think of) |

Cant overly criticise the guy playing as the focal point of the attack when hes not really kicked a ball for us all season. Doesnt look fit enough to do whats required of a Celtic forward player these days. Would have had Commons on before him last night to bring others into play and provide a bit more of a goal threat. |

some harsh comments on here, he was poor the other night, but he isnt the first nor will he be the last to have a performance like that in europe for us. his injury record is infuriating but maybe he needs a season being using sparingly to get him back into the swing of it. i can't remember a season, off the top of my head, were he hasnt had at least one lengthy injury lay off. |
