    Love the guy, but fear we are asking too much for him to get us out of a hole consistently at this stage.

    Should be retired or making easy money in Saudi or somewhere.. Awful when he came on

    He needs to retire at the end of the season.

    Said it in the match thread but it’s like watching an ex-pro at a charity game when he comes on. He’s nowhere near it at this level.

    End of the season is too late. He should be nowhere near the matchday squad. Even Yang should be ahead of him and that says it all

    Normally he's reliable in situations like today, his passing especially is usually spot on. But today it was all over the shop. Brutal.

    He should be a distant 5th choice winger. Instead he either starts or comes on as a first replacement. Negligence and not James' fault.

    He has been a magnificent servant to the club but his days of playing for Celtic should be over, time to drop down a league James.

    He shouldn't be playing anywhere near as much as he has been recently.

    He hasn't been first choice since Ange's first season, he should have fully phased out by the time Rodgers returned.

    There’s no sentiment in football. He should be nowhere near the first team. His best days are long gone.

    We should never be relying on him at this stage. A great servant, but he can’t be expected to make a difference at this stage.

    Great achievement last year for scoring in the Scottish premier league for the 15th consecutive season but I’ll tell ya what isn’t. It took him to the last game to score a goal in the league.
    Great servant and will go down as a legend but he should have went in the summer on a high.

    James Forrest is another victim of the lack of ambition rife in Celtic football club...he should never be in this position but bcoz those charlatans in the boardroom are continuing to penny pinch he's been forced to play bcoz we are so lacking in options.

    His input today was to get the ball and give it away.
    Unlike him not to be a threat in some way or another.

    Massive off day for him when he’s usually been reliable. He should be coming on when we’re 2 or 3 goals up not trying to dig us out of a hole

    Thing is, when we’re 2 or 3 goals up it should be an academy player coming on. Not a 34 year old.

    Some mess we’re in.

    Looking at the state of the B team they might be far and few between
