New statistics on James Forrest are suggesting he has not received the same service when Celtic play a 3-5-2 formation as last season.
In the last campaign Forrest received the ball on average 39 times per game and this term only 23 times per game.
Lack of service has affected his crossing considerably.
His crossing accuracy last season in a 3-5-2 was 38% and this season his crossing accuracy is a very poor 14%.
That’s why the assist king hasn’t had an assist so far this season.
Strangely though his dribbling percentage is up from last season.
It’s just his final ball that’s letting him down this early on in the season.

Suppose it doesn't help when he has had to slot-in at left back and he has accommodated Frimpong a couple of times as well. Early doors though and when we do settle on our best team and formation, he will reach the form and consistency that provides many goals and assists.
