Faurlin, Saturday

[Snaxo]

I'm kinda surprised no one has posted this already so,

- either they have and I've missed it (apologies)
- I was watching a diff game ;-)

The performance / body language of players is obviously an indication when all is not well at a club. Although, with the exception of Adel, Cesar and Nelsen, pretty much all performances were dire on Saturday, it was the manner of Faurlin's performance that stood out for me the most and it was no surprise to me he was subbed at half time. He looked totally shot, as if all the battle and fight had already been knocked out of him. He was running around out of position, opposition players were ghosting past him with little effort etc etc. Worst 45 I've seen from him in a Rangers shirt.

He looked the picture of demoralisation to me. All this behind the scenes talk of how 'angry' the players are and good the spirit is at the camp and how confident they are that we'll get out the situation was completely at odds, pretty much from the off, with the forlorn figure of a dejected Ali Faurlin on Saturday.

Noticed that, looked half the player we know he is, what on earth has the Taffia done to him??

[Ginger Ninja]

He was absolute rubbish. Partly his fault imo because he should have put more effort in for the fans at least. But i blame hughes too, i dont know what hes done to faurlin but his confidence is quite obviously rock bottom.

ALthough yes what you say is true, we are talking about 45mins of football he just had a bad day at the office. We dont needa be over dramatic & act like his career has gone off the rails. Near on the whole side were $hite.

he looked pretty deflated every time he ran past me while i was booing him on saturday

Agree, and hinted that in another thread. His defensive play has been awful whole season and that has cost us many goals.

I admire you positivity and ability to see the best in all situations but Faurlins body language has been poor from the second or third game after he returned. Throw in the shirt number business from the start of the season, something isnt right.

I'm not saying his career has gone off the rails in any shape or form, I'm just saying that his body language and the dynamics of his play have changed to the point of indicating it's more than a bad day at the office. It seemed to me that his bad day at the office on Saturday was a knock-on effect of all not being well in Faurlin land at the moment.

He wrote simply CHANGE on his Facebook after the game

[jmelanie]

Although he denied it (because the knew the fans would disagree) but I don't think MH every really wanted Faurlin in the team, and I am sure Faurlin felt this.

[72bus]

he needs to shape up sharpish , should of got closer to puncheon for his goal , lacks real pace and his head goes down to easily . looks ok when hes on the ball but doesnt seem to want to try and win it back , lets hope he can turn it around soon

[stanistheman]

The manner of that performance (not just from Faurlin but amny others too) tells me that the players either
do not like Hughes,
want to play for Hughes
enjoy/ understand his tactics
or all of the above

You are part of the problem.

You are part of the problem.

I don't know STM (well I do but I don't ;-) but I think he was taking the **** mate
