Taraabt. Oh my god

[80sCasual]

Why does Taarabt have to take the free kicks, I could bet my house on him putting each one over the bar, what does he do in training.
I would have the whole team practising dead ball situations (corners, free kicks etc)) we don't seem to be doing anything from them. Also what's happened with our forwards and the fire and determination we had earlier in the season, they're not feeling cold or worn out are they?

One other thing, Taarabt knew the TV cameras were there and wanted to leave an impression, well he did that and at least no one is going to be coming in for him.

He's getting on my nerves too.Parading around whilst others are working their socks off to get an end result.Yeh he occasionally provides a telling pass or two,but overall he keeps running into trouble and spoiling promising moves.If thats not bad enough tonight it was his shooting and set pieces that were both abysmal and wasteful.I watched the game live on Sky,pacing around my lounge barely sitting down for more than a minute or two here and there,screaming at Warnock 100 miles away to replace him such was my frustration over his performance.

Spot on. My dad and I were screaming for him to be taken off after 60mins. Warnock should of taken him off earlier. To be fair I think he would of if helguson wasn't injured. It was quite clear to see after 15mins that tarbs was going to have a shocker. His form from the last 5 games certainly doesn't merit a starting place. A real shame Buzz is out but smith in for Tarbs.

I agree with the free kicks,Taarabt seems to have no idea,but being captain(double edged sword) he wants to take them all.In the absence of Buz they should be taken by Faurlin or even Walker,who's getting closer and closer with his powerful long range efforts.Don't know why I'm saying this really as Taarabt shouldn't be an option as he shouldn't be on the pitch in the first place,at least for the time being until he bucks his ideas up.The worringing thing is that the other players are starting to resent him and his self-indulgent ways.

I actually thought Derry was going to nut him at one point.

Adel is without doubt an extremely frustrating individual, you just have to look at Mackie, Hogan, Derry and the way they reacted to him BUT he can turn a game on its head I think NW has just about got it right, giving him 70 mins each week then taking him off.We are though still undefeated and this team is now in the record books, something that mustn't go unmissed, in May we will know whether its deserved or not.

yesterday, Adel should have been taken off after 15 minutes. Without Adel on the pitch we would have won the game comfortably.

And Mackie wasn't too pleased him either, on more than one occasion.
The Prima Donna is returning to a place near you.

Not Adel's best game but for the first 25 - 30 mins we were very impressive. Sky stats showed 77:33 % possesion in our favour. Adel brings excitement and when things turn out well its fantastic to watch and great for the team. Sometimes it works, sometime it doesn't. He warrants a place in the starting line-up despite what most people are saying tonight. If you take the time to look more carefully at the performance Mackie, Smith, Helguson, and Hulse all contributed a lot less than Adel. Mackie IMO was very poor, HH looked tired and Smith - well he never really got into it despite having more than 30mins.

2 away draws in 4 days ain't bad going.

We're TOP. 3 points and 21 goals clear! Get off the boys back

77% to 33% really? lol

Spot on.

Adels performance was sunday league. Just shocking.

Needs to be dropped so he learns that the kind of performance he showed last night just isn't acceptable.

Can we leave Taarabt don't judge him on a couple of games he has be class for most of the season and will come good again brilliant player.

He's going back to the player he was last season, Neil needs to get hold of him before it's too late.

Adel has always been the same. When he was on loan trying to make a name for himself you could possibly understand it, but now he "Belongs" to the club, he should play for the club and have their interests heart. The worrying thing is that he clearly isn't learning as nothing's changed, and it surely can;t be for the want of numerous managers telling him to play the easy ball more often than not.

He was beyond frustrating last night from a fans perspective, imagine what he must be like to play with!! When he plays like this it is compounded further by the following factors:

- He alienates team mates so much by repeatedly not passing when they've bust their lungs sprinting 40 yards into space that they will sooner or later in a game not bother, which restricts chances created and ruins the mindset throughout the side.

- Now we are playing with so many attack minded players, when Adel faffs about with it and loses the ball, often we have half the team in a more advanced position than him who are then all out of the game when the opposition counter, putting extra pressure on the defence. To make that worse, he won't chase back himself when HE loses the ball, prefering to wallow in self pity.

I was dissapointed in Warnock last night. Granted he was about to bring him off before Helgusen got injured, but he should've acted much much sooner. It was so obvious after 20 mins that it wasn't going to be his day and Mackie's rant at about that time spoke volumes.

It's all well and good having "luxuries" but you need to know when to put them back in the cupboard.

Exactly my thoughts too!
Good to read a post from someone understanding that football is about 11 players performing as one team. Not a 10 players team + 1 individual clown playing for himself. Those wanting to see a one mans twists and turn show should go to a circus instead!
