Our Tarbs is a bit like watching Monty Python.
Confused? Then I'll explain (for those that remember the '70's and beating Man U 4-1 etc..)
When I used to watch Monty Python Flying Circus. which was a one hour prog, for 55mins it was utter cr@p, but the other 5 mins was pure genius, so it was still worth watching.
Adel most of the time is a liability, but with a moment of magic can change a game. For the other 85 mins we may as well play with 10.
I must stop drinking this early on sunday nights.....

Originally posted by Marshy View PostI have seen a lot of that myth going around lately, and as I like to destroy myths, and as Adel is our longest serving player at the club who was instrumental in the promotion, I think it is about time I destroy the myth.
There is no doubt that Adel does not have pace like a lot of other wingers do such as Ronaldo or Bale or even Townsend. So when Adel goes past a defender, he knows that if the defender is quick, the defender will catch him up soon. So we come to the situation where Adel has to either release the ball quickly, get a shot in on goal, or hold the ball up and play someone in.
Because we had lazy Cisse up front in the early part of the season, who was rarely making any decent runs, and we had sh1te like Mackie up front who was rarely in a good position, Tarbs could not release the ball early. So instead, on many occasions, he decided to have some terrible long-range effort. And on other occasions, he decided to hold the ball up and play others in. And it is from this last point that the myth has arisen - that Adel always slows down the play. What people don't realise is, that when he does, it is because there are no decent runners in front of him.
Let's look at the two games he has played with Remy. He certainly did not hold up the play against West Ham, and he certainly did not hold up the play against Man City. So it is clear that when Adel has people in front of him making intelligent runs, then he will move the ball forward quickly.
OK, next myth I will work on destroying is the "Adel is the worst shooter in the team" one - should be fun.
