Is Taraabt now a luxury we no-longer afford to have?

[ahR]

I like watching young Adel and he has shown skill and trickery seldom seen at LR in decades but on tonight's showing he needs to be used sparingly or rested all together...

I don't know whether he was trying to show the world what a meathead JM is for having the audacity to drop him or what he was doing but it can't have helped his cause. The last time I saw that amount of greed on a pitch I was a kid. He reminded me of the kid at school who is obviously so much better than everyone else in the team so he tries to do it all himself!! He needs a few words of wisdom and a period on the sidelines to observe. Once he learns to pass at the right time he will be lethal. Oh yeah and improve his finishing too...

Tonight's game also highlighted how much we miss Mahon or Rowly who could sit in MF and break up play and give simple balls. We are a real Jeckall and Hyde team under JM as there were small periods when we looked really good and then others when we couldn't get the ball for effing toffee!!

A mauling up at the Hawthorns and then JM will really be ****ting a brick and the circus will be back in clown.. I mean town!!

There's enough talent in our squad to get into the play-offs with a little something to spare and I would love to give the responsibility to Steve Coppell but he wouldn't touch the job with the proverbial bargepole!!

Read the title that's where I stopped.

If he could just learn to ****ing pass when he needs to that would be a start!!

Its all well and good when were winning and he nut megs someone, but when were 2-1 down we just need to get the ****ing ball in the box, not tart about with it near the edge of the box....!!!!

Weve said it a million times though, i feel like banging my head against a ****** brick wall.

spot on mate...boy is way too greedy and NOT a team player.

Tarrabt is a complex character and he needs kid gloves to get the best out of him. I'm betting the right manager would make him a world beater. it seemed Magilton was getting there, but with dropping him tonight and the Doncaster game, I'm guessing the relationship is tense to say the least.

Taarabt was on the bench! Was it his fault we lost, NO!

teams are scared to death of him. That's why I'd keep him....on loan (dirty word round here) though

I didn't blame him as you would have known had you read my rant more carefully young man. I realise that he was on the bench and perhaps I should've included it but I didn't.

I was making the point that from now on he should be as, once again (Boro game included) he showed that he is too self-centrered and does not YET provide enough end product on a regular basis or value to the team!!

There are loads of other deficiencies that we could disect from other players and the game was up well before he came on but my criticism of him is what I ma focussing on.....

[Youvebeenrangered]

The amount of chances we have missed when adel should have passed the ball, the amount of chances he himself has missed because he wanted to be fancy rather than put his foot through it, the amount of times he doubles back again and again and then again and either loses it or gets crowded out is starting to occur to much for my liking.

4-0 ok go showboat, take the **** and we can enjoy it, but not until the jobs done, and at 2-1 down, or against boro 2-1 down dont **** about, play the passes that need to be played to keep the move going.

He needs boxing gloves to get the best out of him.

My sentiments exactly.Too much of a one-trick show pony who likes to be the centre of attention
