    Not the worst player on the pitch but nothing great. Lost possession several times.

    He did quite well to be fair. They shackled him all game though

    Weird game to bring him back. I remember that blowy game at hull when he asked to come off. Thought the same would happen today.

    I was looking via a bad stream but he looked a bit slow and obviously lacked match fitness and pace, however he did play some nice inventive passes and some good touches but as awjm says was not the worse player on the pitch and lost possesion. Iput this down to not being match fit..

    Only really saw last 25 mins but he always seemed to have some space around him and a bit of time to look for a pass, but as swords says they did close him down as soon as he got into any space.....

    Was comfortable on the ball and did enough not to be subbed...

    He was our best player.

    Clever passing short and long balls. Played a vital part on what led to the penalty.

    No one in a Rangers shirt had a better game and this is a bloke well short of match sharpness and he was still our best player

    Oh Damage, don't start all this sh*t again. Everyone else has been fair and balanced toward him yet you start with this pie in the sky nonsense. He played quite well to give him his dues. But you're so blinkered its pointless for you to even comment about the lad.

    And you're only posting again because Taarabt played today. Where were you for the last few weeks?

    Was the perfect game to bring him back. Burnley kept him shackled well. He did his job, but those around him didn't. His skill is the same, nice quick turns, good vision.
    Burnley were keen all match and had more energy.

    You said he was our best player. Isla played as well, Rob Green did and Leroy Fer did too before he was hooked. Austin also hit the post and scored a goal so I'd put him level with him.

    This is the problem. When people assess Taarabt fairly you get the dreamers coming out with claptrap and it turns every balanced analyst into looking like they're having a go at him. I was the first on here today to say he was playing well. But one-sided headcases who never post unless Taraabt is playing come on and start waffling.

    You, pal, can't be trusted

    Ha I can't be trusted?! What does that even mean.

    Someone posts a question how did he do. I respond and say he was our best player and, you, Mr neutral unbiased poster of 2015 aren't able to name anyone better.

    Ha do me a favour.

    Was able to post today because I wasn't working and wasn't at the game or do anything else involving a social life.

    Watched it at the bell in ruislip and mood there was harry is a prick and Adel was the best of a bad bunch

    You could tell the class on the ball - same as Vargas and Fer, always looked comfortable and never rushed.

    Clearly lacking fitness so not as involved as he could have been but there's definitely value in playing him more to both keep him interested and to get him that sharpness which benefits the club (stay or leave).

    I want Harry out but that's nothing to do with the Taarabt situation. Taarabt is a little **** with one of the worst attitudes in our 4 football leagues. He's ****ed his own career. If anyone does him no favours it should not get blamed on those people. If he'd had the right attitude from the start he would have had a great career. No one is holding him back but himself.

    I would say Green MOM but then 100% Tarrabt he showed some intelligence at least but Burnley won the game by fighting for every inch
    They were as compact as i have seen a team this season and when they broke it was very quick
    The whole team was put under pressure by Burnley and credit to them
    I honestly thought we may win that 2nd half but it turned very sour

    Adel played well and should play again against Manure. I thought Isla was our best player, with Charlie and Adel joint second best.
