Would like to see him go on the outside more often.
Too often he cuts inside.
This.

Someone needs to tell him that cutting inside and doing disguised passes isn't his game.

He's quick. Skin someone and give it to a player in a better position or shoot.

Does help when he’s actually played on the right, rather than the left. :thumbsup:

He seems to be a much enhanced player when Rogic is in the Team. They link up well and he plays much more positively.

Not entirely sure what that's down to, but I'm definitely noticing it more in recent games.

I've said it numerous times in the past but James Forrest will never reach his full potential playing in Scotland. There are rare occasions like today when he has the chance to take players on one on one and hit the by line but the majority of the time we're playing against packed defences of 10 men where there's no space for him to run into.

Forrest's inability to do what he's did today on a more regular basis is more a mark against Scottish football than James Forrest

He's been one of our best players this season. I find the dislike of him absolutely bizarre.

:lol: Even more bizarre than the dislike. He really hasn't been. There are 6 players who are well ahead of him so far. A few decent games doesn't make a player one of the better players though in fairness the majority of the team have been quite bad.

If that was the case, then he would excel in European ties when we play stronger sides who don't sit in.

Blaming Scottish football for Forrest's obvious inconsistency is taking the piss.
We can't keep the ball off of feckin Molde never mind 'stronger sides' in Europe and there are other issues such as his fitness and confidence but I stand by that Scottish football is hardly the best environment for pacey wingers that tend to play against teams that park the bus.

I do think he plays more effectively down the right as he can beat his man and get crosses in, when he plays on the left he cuts inside too often and usually there is no end product. If he sticks to basics, i.e. beating the fullback and sending in crosses, he is dangerous. Cutting inside, he seems to almost confuse himself, some players are better when they just do what comes naturally, too much time to think in possession does them no good.

It's the system boys. Same reason Boyata's trying to skin midfielders and Efe finds himself running into left wingers n hings.

Griffiths, Bitton, Broony, Rogic have all had better seasons. Two are up for debate. Lustig and Tierney.

Griffiths, Rogic and Bitton have definitely been better.

Forrest played well v Killie away, Ajax away, Aberdeen at home, Ross County away - can't think of any other decent performances from him this season.

Much bluntness.A bit like our attack in important games.

I can absolutely understand people's frustration with Forrest over his time with Celtic but when fit he has more quality than most of our current squad and, sadly, anyone we are likely to sign any time soon. Its tough to see it amongst the rightful disappointment with our season to date but he's having the best spell of form (and of being injury free) he's add in a couple of years. People should be hoping he builds on this or get used to watching a GMS, McGregor, Cifti level of player

You couldn't give a flying eff that you're full of shampooe? Ok, you'd think after 40 accounts you might stop posting so much ridiculous shampooe that clearly shows it's you again but apparently not.

Brown and Bitton have both been absolutely gash this season. Quite how anyone can think Lustig has also been one of our best is absolutely hilarious misty eyed pish.

I'd say Brown, Bitton and Lustig aren't even close to up for debate. Been poor to pish all season. Tierney's done really well but played 3/4 games.
