sebdeserio Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Columbus fans were saying that he was their weakest link as a starter before Gressel came in but that he wasn't a liability or anything. Tough to feel bad for him with is mind seemingly made on chasing an Algeria cap. Jack1997, Dominic94, Corazon and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It's just 2 games but if Farsi is behind Gressel perhaps it's not a big loss for him to not play for us. I mean, being a backup to a player like Gressel is probably still good enough to be part of the wider Canadian pool, but it doesn't bode well for winning a lot of caps for Canada or Algeria. ZBG is similarly behind Herrera and likewise his Canada caps have been few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. But he isn’t someone I am pining over and if he opts to go elsewhere then I won’t pay much attention.

DeRo_Is_King Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Let's see if him being more of a bench guy continues. I recall him starting and impressing a lot for Columbus. Give it time. He may return to form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played for Blainville in the PLSQ and came up through the local youth system before that. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this old TransferMarkt article talking about his departure from Cavalry. Maybe you're getting mixed up with Yao? It's Yao they mention as being on loan, and interestingly, they point out Yao was one of the most valuable Canadian CBs at the time: https://www.transfermarkt.us/mo-farsi-set-to-leave-cavalry-fc-u23-canmnt-has-offers-from-europe-amp-mls/view/news/395753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 80% of the team that Algeria started in their 0-1 win over Senegal yesterday were players in top 5 leagues including Ligue 1, La Liga, Bundesliga and EPL. Their right back is 27 and has played the last 6 seasons with Nice and prior in Belgium top tier. He's also been with Algeria since he was a teen.

Potential competition at RB: Atal - Nice (27) Mandy - Villareal (31) CB who can play RB Leris - Stoke (25) van den kerkhof - metz (27) Loucif - swiss league (27) Did Farsi get an algeria call up?

He hasn't been very good. The move of Gressel definitely ate up alot of his playing time and confidence. He had played well until the last game during the playoffs and taken back his starting position. But this game was rough until he was subbed Edited December 4, 2023 by blueseeka Kadenge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gressel absolutely changed the game vs Cincinnati when he came on. I'd be surprised if Nancy started Farsi over Gressel in the final.

FC_Hali Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Farsi had a few rough moments defensively but thought he was bright on the attacking end. He combines well and takes his defender on 1v1. Gressel is a better overall player and his double sub with Ramirez tilted the field for Columbus. I suspect Farsi will start again in MLS cup given the way Nancy likes to play. Gressel is also confirmed to be leaving the Crew which is another reason why Farsi was leaned on more heavily down the stretch. Not sure he’s more than a depth piece for Canada unless he’s used elsewhere on the field. I feel he’s the beneficiary of a brilliant manager and style of play that is suffocating for the opposition. Reminds me of early era MLS teams going down to Mexico where the pressure mounts and inevitably the doors get blown off.
