Six years after breaking through from the youth ranks
we are no further forward from knowing what type of player James Forrest is capable of becoming.
With his track record of injuries sympathy is in short supply highlighted by the reaction of supporters to his contract stand off.
Last night Forrest was preferred to Patrick Roberts which will have been noted around the Etihad Stadium. Years of living with injury seem to have taken something significant from his game.
Whether there will be an other chance under Rodgers remains to be seen, little in the way of tears will be shed if last night’s display was a farewell appearance.
