Ive been impressed with Forrest this season, been a huge improvement. I definitely think its time to get roberts in from the start though. Forrest runs about a lot, but doesn't create much. Especially at home Roberts needs to start. Can beat players so easily that he'll always create chances. Forrest on the bench is a different option, but Roberts definitely needs a good run of games now!

On another note I was quite impressed with big Boyata. Seems to attack the ball well when attacking a corner. We rarely score a good headed goal so well done big man!

Roberts will be gone at the end of the season, Roberts himself said that he wants to go back to city probably the chance of playing for pep and you couldn't really blame him. I would love us to sign him but can't really see it, with that in mind I would use him as an impact player someone you can put on after Forrest has ran the left back in to the ground.

I get your point, but a loan player is always going back to his parent club. So shouldn't be a reason not to play.

Yes me and the boys were saying the same thing last night, we think br starts Forrest because he gives the right back much more cover and Roberts finds it easier as James has run the opposition left back into the ground.

I was thinking the same - very few headers from set pieces.
For me if PR was our player I would start him until then keep forest developing, working on his game and. Yielding confidence.

Forrest has been impressive for about 6 games max. He is useless if he can't get past his man. Roberts glides by 2/ 3 players in one move. Not buying into this about forrest getting a game before roberts cos roberts is on loan. Hands down roberts should be starting ahead of forrest as he is better player so when roberts leaves then invest in someone that's better than forrest. Forrest just has not got an end product.

Yayo, your spot on mate, u play if best players as often as possible. People keep going on about well play Forrest cause he's our player, were these the same folk raving about denayer n guidetti playing every game, despite not being our own players, I doubt it very much.

Roberts is quality, he proved it last season n he's showed it every time he's been given either a run of games or coming off the bench, straight away last night we looked more likely to open up the saints as he glided past players with ease, and that isn't just when defenders r tired, he was quality against city when he started n scored n him rogic n Sinclair for me just screams quality.

Ed007 also made a great point t recently about criticising lustig don't seem to realise that Forrest barely ever tracks back n it means it's 2 on 1 against lustig.
Roberts works the right side likenakamura n works in my opinion better with lustig.
And as another poster said if we don't sign Roberts then I want us to sign someone with class in that attacking mould, Roberts, rogic n Sinclair, any of those 3 types of player as each is different n so good.

James unfortunately for me just doesn't bring enough in an attacking sense, finishing, final ball n even beating a man n like Gordon I'd rather they were replaced with better quality.
