  • Taarabt Badly Managed Or Not?

    My personal views only & I have been a big critic of Adel but the last few games have really made me think about Neil Warnock & how he's using Adel. He managed him absolutely spot on last season but this season I'm starting to think he's NW's very own scape goat.

    People are getting a hard on about Taarabt but I don't care what anyone says he's our best player & he isn't being managed properly imo.

    He's gone from captain to not captain

    Set piece taker to taking nothing

    Penalty taker to no penalty taking

    All NW cares about is Joey Barton. I'm not surprised Adel's performances have dropped in standard I feel sorry for the fella. Yes he is a sulky annoying pain in the #### brat but he's amazing on his day & I feel taking him off every single game is bad management. He was slated for hogging the ball & now he's more of a 'team' player he's highly ineffective. I was praying he'd be more selfish yesterday & the last few games. The things he can do will bamboozle the very best why harness that natural skill?

    Barton imo should be in the middle with Faurlin, Puncheon or Smith one wing SWP the other with Taarabt in the hole. The way & formation we are playing I'm not expecting many wins. Derry for me as much as I love him is not up to playing every single week. Decent against Chelsea one week & non existent the next.

    We have done ok so far but how much better could we do if Adel was given a bit more of a free role like last year? I know people will say in the Premiership you will get punished if the ball is lost which is fair enough but we will also do much better if Taarabt was firing again.

    Who knows but I'm getting annoyed seeing him sacrificed every week when others have been equally shite.

    I agree about the position of others but not convinced about Taarabt.

    Like you I was praying he would be more greedy yesterday when he was 10 yards outside their box and running with the ball but he either has no confidence in the Prem or is totally pissed off for the reason you state. That corner was woeful when he put it out for a throw the other side of the pitch.

    Not sure we have the time to persist with him imo

      I agree Rich but if he was allowed to do what he done last year we wouldn't need to persist because we know what he's capable of.

      We're only persisting because he's clearly been given instructions to play as he has been & to me that's wrong. We need to make the most of what he's got.

        When he had everything his own way, he was a c0ck.... and when he doesnt he still is a c0ck

        He isnt a captain, he's join penalty taker and he takes all freekicks and corners usually of which have recently been ********

          maybe last seasons pandering is a definate no-go with the new boys in the dressing room.

            He doesn't appear to have "it" in this league though. Or, he needs his ego massaged more and NW doesn't have as much time to do it this season.

            My feeling is he has started what 9/10 games so far? Him being subbed in them all tells its own story.

              He plays so much better when Bothroyd plays. Bothroyd holds it up and brings Adel/SWP etc into the game by holding it up and laying it off. Wolves/Newcastle/Villa for example Adel was superb.

              He is wasted when HH plays up top alone as he/SWP and Barton etc see so much less of the ball. So if Adel is to play it has to be with Bothroyd who can feed him the ball in advanced areas.

                In that case Joey Barton hasn't got 'it' either from what I've seen since he signed.

                Taarabt has taken 1 free kick that I can remember in the last few games & forced Petr Cech into a save that resulted in a corner. Anyone else that have taken one have been awful.

                Dunno about 'having it all his own way' but whatever he was getting worked as 19 goals & 20 odd assists will show you.

                  Barton is a centre midfielder, hopefully NW knows this now and we will see him there again on Saturday.

                  Taarabt has been poor in a free role

                    But Rich we're all told Barton's favoured position is on the right.

                    And your comment about him being poor in the free role is exactly my point. Why is he? Because he's more of a 'team' player under instructions rather than last season where he was in a more defined free role.

                      Ric spot on The posters on here yesterday evening stating thats it, AT is finished.I wish I could put things like you do,because I said he needs an arm around him,he's that sort of player,and well basically was told that's b*llocks.
                      I have only seen him on tv, but my impression is that he's doing more work without the ball than ever before,and yes there was one particular moment yesterday he got the ball outside pen area,and unlike last just didn't have the confidence to drive on into the box,but instead went side-ways.
                      Admit he was awful yesterday,but he needs to be made to feel important,
                      but just easier to write him off.

                        Dave when a player who can do so much fails to do the same things people want to sling them on the scrap heap. The point of my thread was to ask why he is playing under standard. And the reasons I put I think are valid.

                        But I respect everyones opinion on the matter.

                          Yes they are Ric.
                          The only way Adel will be effective is if he's encouraged to be for want of better word "greedy". If you ask him to be a team player then you lose his skills and we might as well forget it.
                          Just to add we have gone up a league and crrect me if I'm wrong but every team seems to put at least 2 men on AT,so they don't think he's crap imo

                            Adel needs to grow some balls and man up a bit, other wise he is going nowhere and it was all the special treatment in the past that is coming home to roost now. He does not deserve to start the next game so why should he and to stop him getting upset, is not a valid reason.
