We're NOT where we are because of Taarabt

[qprjames]

Saw a stat the other day that he has been involved in over half our goals this year. Of course we are a one man team!

[Scarlet pimple]

Totally agree, he might be a big kid, without him we are also rans.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Rodman...think your wrong there...us true QPR supporters KNOW that its the whole team that are keeping us top. Adel just takes all the attention off the resta the team with his moments of brill and madness..which mabe is a good thing....

[QPR1976]

Rodman, I kind of agree, BUT

If all those who've played this season are equal contributors - let no one sl@g Hall or Clarke or Borrowdale, etc. For the 1% they have played so far !
Many have knockex them, some have demanded they leave the club, some have celebrared when they have (temporarily). No double standards, OK ?

"ODD display of genius" ? Really ? I can think of at least 30-40 flashes of genius (goals, assists & making the oppo look silly), and about a handful of flashes of petulance. I'm not going to consider poor passes as not even Messi gets it right EVERY time. And I'm a Season Ticket holder not an occasional (and I'm not suggesting you are)

I'm not convinced you (or I) are qualified or close enough to speculate on what other players think about him. Most quotes suggest he's an enigma, frustrating at times but a genius generally. NW confirms this, and I'll take his opinion over yours or anyone else's as he actually works with him, almost daily.

That said, I agree, he's no Captain. But most can see once he's flicked a coin, he plays no Captains part for 90+ minutes.
Derry does, amongst others.

Club Captain Fitz Hall anyone ?

Hopefully, you read this in the spirit it's intended and I look forward to your response .

[kron-1664]

Paddy Kenny , Sean Derry and Adel Tarabbt are our key men

[Goddard]

Finally someone with common sense!!!

Translates to:
Finally, someone I agree with.





Personally, I don't think we would be "mid-table" without him... that does show a lack of appreciation for the others.
But I'm as sure as I possibly can be that we would not be top either, without his multiple moments of pure f***ing genius.




No way of proving this, either way.... so this is DEFINITELY a matter of pure opinion!
I will say that our system today was part of the reason we didn't win, and our system does *at times* over-rely on Adel Taarabt.
But when he does his stuff... we're all happy bunnies.

You win some, you lose some with him.
But you probably win more.

[JimmyConway]

Agreed, it's not a one man team, and I feel Kenny and Derry have been especially influential this season. But if we didn't have Taarabt, I think we'd be mid-table right now.

[EYR]

14 clean sheets out of 28 says to me that the defence is also contributing a hell of a lot.

[LBLOCK]

Apart from the roads, the bridges, the drainage system, law and order and a better standard of living...........

Just what HAVE the Romans done for us?

A comedy post.

Adel da man.

IN WARNOCK WE TRUST

[brightonr]

Rodman,

You make some very valid points.

But, there is no doubt that he is the main reason we are where we are, is there ?

Very few players over the last 40 years that I've looked forward more to seeing do their stuff. And we've had some bloody good players in that time.

[The Godfather]

There's no doubt that he's a great player who has won us several important games this season with moments of pure magic. However, we are certainly not a "one-man team". Would Taraabt be so effective without the support of Derry and Faurlin behind him? Quite possibly not. Equally, our back four and goalkeeper have been very solid all season. We also have a superb manager, who, in my view, has played a crucial part in Taarabt's recent success.

[rockandroll]

pathetic thread ..

[MYU]

So bored and fed up of reading on here how we are only where we are cos of Taarabt.

There is 11 players out there every week and ALL of them contribute to where we are now.

Anyone would think that Taarabt has single handedly scored every goal, saved every shot, cleared every upfield punt, won every free kick and headed every clearance the way some of you go on about him.

What... Are you saying Adel Taarabt didn't do any of them listed above?

[Yousef]

Rodman yes Football is team efford, but will this team effort work without Adel?

[The White City General]

Still laughing at Rodman's efforts to WUM lol
