    There is no way that is accurate.

    Against Ajax he did excellent and stuck a ball across the box but it was just out of reach.

    Into the bargain last night he won a couple of corners, but those were crosses which were quite poor.

    So not sure how they're judging 'passes'.

    He had a good game, but I thought he was finding it tough getting past their speedy wide players and delivering a good enough final ball. Did keep them on their toes though and he is on good form at moment.

    Passes are passes, crosses count as crosses.

    He only made 1 accurate cross in the 2 games, most people would look at that and think its terrible but if your doing 2 accurate crosses per game then your doing great, that is about average. Ronaldo/Hazard/A.Sanchez/Rakitic/Gotze/Brahimi/Konoplyanka and others average 1 accurate cross every 2 games as well - shows how uneffective crossing actually is.

    Good to see Jamsey proving the nay-Sayers wrong. Always knew he had great ability and could be a special player for us, glad he's showing what he's capable of.

    I take back my earlier criticism of him I still feel he isn't as good as he is being made out by some on here

    He's not as good as some admirers are making out, but right now he's also not as bad as he was earlier in the season. His attitude has changed, and made him better.

    I was probably one of, if not the biggest critic of him, but I have to admit he has played well recently.

    Should we not praise him if he's playing well? I can't see any OTT comments making him out to be world class, it's just the usual praise that players get when they're on good form.

    With the amount of criticism he was getting a month or 2 ago, I think he deserves to be praised for his recent performances and what looks to be a change in attitude.

    He was tracking back like I've never seen from him before, really put in a shift to help Tierney out, no hands in the air stuff either, he seems a totally different player from a few months ago.. Great to see.

    Playing well,hopefully stays injury free and improves with a consistant run in the team,potentially a 10 mil player imo,one thing that really really * me off with him is that every time the camera is on him he is always playing with his * hair.

    Slated him a lot on here but he's been great over the last few months. Really stepped up his game and looks stronger, maybe not quicker, but definitely more fluid in his running style. Already looking like our main out ball in Europe.

    Was really impressive against Fenerbahce. First time for a long time he hasn't made me angry :smiley-laughing002:

    He did well coming back to support Tierney in defence as well, which was good.

    He is certainly on a very good run of form right now. Lets keep our fingers crossed he can stay injury free as there is more to come I think from Forrest as good as he has been lately.

    Wee Jimmy Jamsey Shoodurs(y) is beginning to prove me wrong in my opinion of him, which is brilliant!
    He could still improve his end product a bit more but he is doing really well all things considered. Well done wee man! :50:

    Done well for the Scotland goal. Seems to have more confidence recently.

    I actually thought he looked to be holding back quite early on, walking about and not tackling etc. It looked like he may have been feeling a wee injury?
