Why play Adel, Harry???

[Yousef]

I wonder why Fabio did not play. He is good defensively.

Folks like Remy wasted out on the right? Or the left footed Townsend on the right when moving Adel to the left? Playing one up but getting no additional defensive cover in the middle? Our attacks being slowed down again and again? Because that's what happens when you change the shape and structure of a winning team to accommodate Adel- especially in his free role... Great individual player; poor team player. It's a fricking team game...

And why not stick to the team- and formation- that did so well against Soton, Sunderland and first half at Villa. Alright Adel got a goal, but our CM was endlessly overrun first half. Gave no protection to the defence. Only when Adel went on the left second half and when he went off did we get going. Samba cost us the points, but Adel in the middle in a free role gives us no chance. Weve tried it all fu&king season. He just makes us static and cannot do anything when we don't have the ball. FFS.

Agreed - the line up was a bad call. Should have gone with the Villa team. Adding Adel and dropping Park took the shape away that got the 2 wins and 7 goals in the last 3 games. Then to put Jenas (2 goals in last 2 games) into the holding role so that Mbia (never scores) could get forward did not pay off. CM was beaten up there was no pattern to the play and the first half especially was poor across the whole team.

We scored 2 away from home. Hardly Adel's fault we lost was it?

I think we all know there were far more players to look at first. Maybe they aren't controversial enough, so we should blame Adel.

We are going down because we have people running the club like a plaything. They may have good intentions, but they are totally clueless. We are not going down because of Adel.

Adel done more than the other 10 on the pitch today. Not his best game, granted, but a goal and winning the pen - who contributed more than him today?Other than maybe Mbia?

Part of me think changing the team to bring Taarabt back was wrong, but then again, he scored a goal and won a penalty. It isnt his fault that Samba had a very bad game or that Hill scored an own goal.

I personally would have kept the same team, if possible, that beat Sunderland, but that is not to say that last night's defeat was down to Taarabt or Redknapp.

The goals conceded could all have been prevented, Fulham had 3 shots on target and all went in. Also in the last ten minutes against 10 men QPR created nothing because they had stopped passing the ball around and chose to lump long balls forward towards Samba and Zamora.

I agree. Samba going up is one thing, but then to just lump it at him isn't going to win us the game unless we get lucky......bad call.
