James Forrest

One a the big turning points was him being shifted to the right. Carved them open multiple times and played a great ball in which should have resulted in a penalty.

 

Absolute beast of a player. He is honestly unreal. So dangerous going forward was flys past players with ease when he gets going and puts in a great shift defensively. He's giving it his all every game the past couple of seasons which is superb as there were questions over his attitude. Very rarely loses possession so many times a that he takes the ball with a player on him right on the line and goes past them, cuts in or manoeuvres and gets the pass off. I'm chuffed for him, think he's my favourite player right now out of a great bunch

 

* sake

 

Aye I know thank * we have him at RB.

That’s when needed

 

Experienced european class winger coming into his prime, we're lucky to have him.

Very rarely gives it away, always either driving down the right or inside or getting involved in short, quick passing at the edge of the box, particularly with Calmac. That's not even mentioning his defensive work.

Uses the ball far better than Sinclair who has a tendency to play the safe ball back or just lose the ball.

 

Always did love Shooders. Delighted he's playing so well. Rodgers seems to have had an excellent influence on his attitude and professionalism.

 

Crazy to read the posts at the beginning of this thread, seeing how happy everyone was for him to be potentially leaving.
His turn around is probably Rodgers' biggest individual achievement here.

 

involved in 6 of our 9 goals so far. I think he is now a better player than Roberts which is insane considering even i was wanting Roberts to play every game he was fit last season.

 

Matured and obviously enjoying his new role.looks much quicker and dangerous.Seems more confident as well.

 

He definitely has an extra yard of pace in my opinion. Never really noticed any other player get clearly quicker before.

 

Never thought I’d see someone get more out of Forrest then Lenny but Rodgers is doing it, he’s playing amazing. Always liked him too and was one of the few who wanted him to start ahead of Roberts when he was here.

 

He was being chased out the club, always thought it was madness. His performances/injury record didn't warrant huge fanfare, but at times in his career he was our only traditional winger, it would of been mad to get rid.

Didn't expect him to become such a mature player, he's a tireless worker now and looks one of the fittest in the squad.

Think I would actually have no issues with him playing right back in home games against bottom SPL clubs, would be some threat on the overlap with a Roberts type winger in front.

 

His pace terrifies defences, he was great last night when switched to the right, don't want to depress yous this morning but I'm sure he's only a year left on his contract, we need him signed up quick

 

His confidence level just now is fantastic, credit to Rodgers for getting him to where he is. He's shown more in the last 2 seasons than in the rest of his time here imo. A fantastic player to watch these days

Still needs a song...

 

What can you say about the wee man, he was outstanding. Truly one of our go-to men during big games, he's stepping up to the plate and finally realising his potential.

An inspiration to any young players.

 

We really need to keep a hold of him. If he can stay fit and play to that level for the next five years, he will be a true Celtic great.

 

Totally agree....looking in the mood at this early stage is a great sign.

 

McGeady is the one that sticks out the most for me. He wasn’t quick when he broke through, WGS hired Gregory Dupont and McGeady gave up his holiday to work one on one with him, easily gained 4/5 yards of pace that season, it was mental.

I don’t think Wee Jimmys faster, he’s always been rapid, he is a much stronger runner and times his runs much better these days. Explosive now.
