Adel's ego.........will it cost us????

[maidstone_hoop]

adel is pure class, i don't care if he has a stinker every now and again! the season is 46 games long, we wernt going to go undefeated all year and people are just looking for crap excuses and someone to blame.
He has won us so many more points this year. The fact is the whole team nearly to a man barring 1 or 2 didn't turn up last night, added to the fact watford played very well and the officials were a little dodge, we lost the game. Its going to happen.
Positives should be, we prob wont play that bad again, we got a fantstic manager and we are still top.

Adel has won many games for us this season, some have every short memories. Cardiff anyone?

Everyone is entitled to a bad game, in fact all QPR players had one against Watford

Nail on head

Had a poor game last night... but he is what he is.

And what he is.... is an incredilble talent, who has gained us the points with his goals and assists that see us top of the league today.

Critisize him for last night, and Bristol, fair enough... but to have a go at him in general for his contribution this season is something I find impossible to understand.

Bizzare, really.

Adel made a fool of himself last night. Absolute fool. I knew it last night and I have just watched the TV coverage and can see even all the pundits came down on him like a ton of bricks. And it is even worse watching it again on telly. Hope he takes time to watch it and learn something from it.

The image of him still sitting on his #### when he ran the ball into Watford at one end whilst 9 other hooped shirts ran back in a vain attempt to cover for him but Watford scoring anyway will sit uncomfortably with me for a while. As will the image of the hands from the rest of the team being thrown up in the air in frustration as Adel came running (the only time he did any off ball running) to snatch the ball for any set piece that was given. Then invariably Adel would punt it into the first defender or off target. I know he can win games but he can lose them too if he gives the ball away so easily when we are fully committed to attack. Anyone that doubts that should watch that VTR again. Its a shocker.

Warnock should at the very least tell him to leave the dead balls to someone else. Personally, I think if he was specifically told not to showboat us into trouble, as Warnock says he had told him before the game) he should take the arm band from him as well. But at the very least he should be made to watch that tape. Again and again would be nice.

I know we have only lost one etc but the way we went down is unfuriating - pointless and totally avoidable as we did the classic of putting ourselves under pressure by giving the ball away at every - watch it again - every opportunity!

Not happy. Leeds can't come quickly enough for me to expunge that memory.

Adel is always looking for space and looking for the ball, mainly because he wants it the whole time.

How many players have we had over the years that have spent most of their time hiding from the ball if they were playing badly.

Taarabt has improved massively since he first joined us. Call him greedy if you like, that's fair enough, but generally lazy he is not.

what are you talking about!? the team yesterday was shiit, the defenders were awful and that hoofball was just overwhelming, doesnt suit any technical player who likes to play the ball on the floor. even messi could not play with those QPR defenders, hoofing hoofing and hoofing ... utter shame.
Adel is a Advanced striker and mid, his job is to attack not to DEFEND, I ve never seen like benzema, ronaldo1 and 2, messi, ronaldinho etc defending , its simply not their JOB.
without him you would not even be on this board, because you would see us 15 or 20 on the table, his goals and assists what make QPR first and still with 4 points ahead with 1 match in hand.
in the other hand , the defensing midfielders were not at there standards , faurlin was as always struggling and always floored down in 1vs1 .. he just doesnt have the physics to compete in English football, Derry is old and his battery starts to decline. makie when ball in his feet he just rumble and jungle and he has no idea what to do with the ball, if he would passed the first shot at the begining of the match to Adel it would have been another match.
I was most ashamed by how much HOOFBALL QPR play! that doesnt suit any technical player in the world.
PALY DAMN BALL ON THE FLOOOOOOOOOOR.

He's lazy. Sat on his #### while 9 men tried to cover his **** up. Couldn't be a clearer illustration of lazy if you ask me. Or would you prefer lethargic? Uninterested perhaps? He's all of them. Lazy as you like. Never ran of the ball at all. Watch it again as I said. I gave him the benefit yesterday but it is painful re-viewing. Painful.

You are simply a fool who we have previously established has never seen Rangers play so less of the "us" eh. Never seen Adel. The rest of the armchair opundits last night who do at least know a bit about the game in general all gave Adel a resounding kick up the #### for being useless. He was. When I see you in the Blue and White you can begin to have a debate but otherwise give it a rest from Lapland. Leave it to your other local fantasist anmd his reindeer eh

Seems to me that when the live cameras are on him he wants to show the watching public just how good he is and it seems to be to the detriment of the team...

The thing that worries me is that NW acknowledged this and alluded to the stinker he had at Ashton Gate so he must have had a word in his shell like but AT obviously ignored what ever was said and played the way he did...

Am rather hoping that he will now finally take heed of NW's advice and put in the kind of performances he has of late....

Maybe he just can't resist trying to put on a show.. pity it all turned out so hideously wrong...

What a shocker and although one has to applaud Watford as they could and should have had many more we were d.o.g.s.h.i.t. :rage:

He's a bloody good player but he's just not grown up enough to play in live televised matches so the answer = "don't play him in live televised matches". He's awesome when he's not trying to show the world what he can do!!
