    Well for a start you said most 'dangerous'.

    In that case, so far this season he's behind Griffiths, Commons, Rogic and Johansen in the attacking positions. Because guess what? They all have more goals.

    Even Ciftci who, I'm sure we can all agree, has been * has more to show.

    Listen Commons done great for us in Europe the problem I have is if Forrest put in the same amount of effort Commons has in most games this season he would have been hung.

    He has an end product, he may not be a finisher but he consistently puts in good balls and is consistently dangerous when he receives the ball, he is our only winger that scares defenders.

    Johansen really? Must have forget Griffths and Cifcti were attacking mid's, Commons has done * all in the league and Rogic is a still not up to scratch. Forrest is our most dangerous player, who would any defender rather be up against Forrest or Rogic?

    That's all well and good but how exactly does that make him a more dangerous player?

    He usually does but he hasn't shown so this season. He hasn't been putting in great balls because their is nocunt on the end of them, Griffiths has been scoring anything that comes near him this season. Forrest is our only attacking player who hasn't set him up for a goal thos season, he consistently fails to find him.

    He has had better work rate this season but his end product has been far below what he is capable of.

    I'd rather have Forrest than James McClean. Well, maybe McClean for the whole Derry/turning his back on the British anthem stuff. But as a player, I prefer Forrest.

    I reckon he is the best we have in terms of dribbling the ball, but jeezo his crossing is shocking and his shooting is worse.

    I have seen you say countless times how you have seen Forrest putting in great balls but Griffiths has * it up, so which one is it?

    Johansen has had a terrible season for his standards but he's still contributed with goals etc.

    You said 'most dangerous attacking player'. Griffiths and Ciftci are attacking players.

    Commons has 3 league goals (2 more than Forrest). Rogic isn't up to scratch but Forrest is? You'll likely be the only person on this forum who thinks Forrest has been better than Rogic this season.

    Mental.

    Love a player like McClean an absolute work horse who gives 100% but I'd say Forrest is capable of better but just not consistent enough for me though





    Imagine the hate McClean would get up here :smiley-laughing002:

    They're strikers, oh aye mate I was saying he was more dangerous than Griffiths? Grow a brain here. I never said Rogic wasn't up to scratch, did you notice the word yet? I realise it must be hard for you to read. You're not very smart at all I'm done with talking to you.

    An end product is defo an issue for him..

    Not sure you can teach that, but his skill and pace are attributes worth keeping.

    As I said an injury free season will do his confidence the world of good and he has shown he is player that can make an impact in Europe.

    Ronny deserves credit for the way he's managed his fitness.

    I'm not smart because I think Commons, Rogic and Johansen have been more effective than Forrest this season.

    Forrest has one goal and one assist and he's our most dangerous attacking player.

    I'm not smart.

    I'm not smart.

    He must be a cert to be leaving, playing quite well this season, our best player in numerous games but dropped recently and barely getting a game despite nobody playing well in the wide positions.
