What's the deal with Juarez?

i dont know whats happened to him but i have a feeling that his behaviour when with mexico might have something to do with him being dropped

however from what we seen in europe i dont understand it as he was easily our best player and dragged the rest of the team through they games then lost his way when he wasnt getting games. i personally feel if he doesnt get in the midfeild he should at least feature at full back as he played well for mexico there and i think is better defensively than cha although he has been performing well especially at home where is given the space to get to the by line & with his pace he has done that well

 

he's playing today! :icon_mrgreen: efrain juarez celtic's number 4!

 

good chance for him today

 

Something must have happened behind the scenes, he looked totally disinterested today - a far cry from his pre-season/early season form.

I also noticed that Lennon didn't even glance in his direction as he came off today.

 

rubbish today starting to worry about him now not at the races

 

was,nt great today. think he needs to be further up the park.

 

Wasnt great. Looked afriad to go forward and hesitated. Get him a few more games for confidence and I'm sure he will be like when we first got him!

 

Somethings no right here he looked half the player he was at the start of the season.
He was driving forward looking and creating at the start of the season and we seen none of that today.

 

He was awful today a shadow of the player that played that played in his first few games

 

I think the Prof's right here, honestly think whatever has happened with the Mexico thing has caused a fall out with him and Lenny, i mean if he plays juarez only when he is forced to then i don't see the point in having him if hes not going to be played. When Kayal and Brown are back i think juarez could be off in January

 

He was exactly the same today as he has been in the last couple of appearances, totally ineffectual.Contributed nothing, and doesn't even appear interested.

 

didnt go anything today

 

This is certainly a strange number here with Juarez........

 

There's no doubt that he's got the talent. He could be our best player judging by his previous form. I wouldn't agree that Lenny was forced to play Juarez - Crosas was on the bench. I remember when the unsavoury headlines came out Lenny backed him 100%, he said the allegations were lies. So I think the problem might be more to do with Juarez's difficulty in adapting to Scotland or just poor form than a row with Lenny. I do agree that Juarez isn't happy and could be off soon.

 

Jaurez was poor today no doubt about it. But cleasrly the lad has a lot of talent. I think again we need to remember how young he is. He has just moved all the way from Mexico to Scotland. The language, cultural etc barriers are not just switches you can turn on and off. Give the lad some time to settle off the field and hopefully we will begin to see his best form on the field.

 

Not good enough and doesn't have a position:bbpd:

 

Exactly look at ki performances now he has settled in

 

i think juarez is in the same boat as ki was when he signed for us. he needs to settle in scotland its a different culture, language, way of playing football. i think we should be patient give him a chance we have seen what he can do so i think talk of us selling him in january is out of order and premature he will come good just as ki is now. why as fans are we so quick to judge players as duds he needs a chance its gona take a bit of time as he aint gona take ledleys position as he has been one of our better players so im saying to fellow hoops fans chill out give the man time to settle in scotland and im sure he will be a good player .
