Then let him play at a lower level then as he's never good enough for the Championship... I think that he's being given preferential treatment because of the injuries and afraid I have always thought tht he was immensely overrated... a handful of decent games but for me he is far too slow and his passing is often wayward as he showed to devastaing cost last night....Originally posted by surrey_hoop View PostMuggy post. The lad oozed class the year we went up, and during our first season back in the big time. For those of you getting on his case, remember that most footballers aren't the same after one ACL injury....he's had 3. It's nothing short of a miracle that he's even able to play football.

Indeed, Luongo was much worse last night imho - gilt edged chance to make it 1-1 and blasted wildly wide.Originally posted by acricketer View Post
People say we are not allowed to criticise Faurlin - more like no one can criticise Luongo this season. Certainly think he has potential but not there yet.

Agreed Faulin has been class in the past so you wonder again if it is Ramsey's tactics not suiting him or those injuries. I think he has done ok this season, his first defeat last night. Think last night was so bad it has left us all in shock but it had been coming from recent performances.Originally posted by surrey_hoop View PostMuggy post.

Faurlin has been doing really well this season. Calling out a player over a single game in which literally everyone was awful is a 5hit move and lacks any class. Oh he's everyone's favourite so when he does bad (like the rest of the team) you decide to individually target his performance. C'mon man, a team is only as good as its worst player (just like a herd is only as fast as its slowest member) and unfortunately, 14 players gave up before the starting line. Calling out one player is stupid."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

This 100%. Team is as weak as its worst member, get Henry out of there and have anyone else be the worst member (Konch?) and we are still miles ahead of where we were last night. Luongo should drop deeper. Start Fer up front if Charlie's injury is as bad as it seems and put Chery as CAM. Have someone like Mackie (Update?) play wide left and we have at least a team bursting at the seams with energy.Originally posted by très bon don View PostFaurlin had a bad game but he was one of many. Certainly good enough to make a contribution over the season. I'd much rather we focused on keeping Henry away from the starting 11.
And Luongo is not a number 10, good engine but he doesn't have the brain for it."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.
