Tarrabt poll

[Balders1967]

Roy of the 'Rangers'

Agree that Taarabt is one of those frustrating players (for those old enough - remember Roy Wegerle ?)

One more game like yesterday's and he should be sitting in the stands for a while. It was probably the worst I've ever seen a QPR player perform.

A tad harsh considering some of the clowns we have had in hoops over the years (unless you have only started coming this season)

[acricketer]

He had a shocker. Rest him for a game.

Really?

Really?!

I assume you started watching QPR some time in the last 2 months then?

Idiotic post if not....

Obviously haven't seen many QPR games then...

[G.T.P]

i think we are going to really struggle to keep him january the way hes playing, and i hope when he considers his options he thinks about staying, but i doubt it. man city beckons i reckon. (NOT)

p.s i voted take the armband off him but dont drop him.

Quite a few since 1995. I have seen a lot of **** players in hoops, but not one so selfish and eager to put his team mates in all sorts of problems like Taarabt yesterday.

You make it sound like he does it deliberately!
Immaturity and thoughtlessness aren't the same as the malevolence you're suggesting, and this anti-Taarabt campaign is ridiculous -- I remember similar comments about Stan Bowles from a section of fans in the 70's, but he developed into a legend, as will AT.
And Adel had a good game against Swansea, which people are conveniently forgetting.
There have been several players not at their best during various matches, but I don't hear the wealth of criticism which AT is getting.
We always said we'd need a new target since Mahon etc. weren't playing, and, unfortunately, for a very talented young man, he is the one who has been chosen.
Just needs another of Neil's quiet words, which I suspect will happen behind closed doors.

Is Bob Malcolm still playing?
Perhaps we'll wheel him back in.
And Sabin.
And Tchakounte.
And Oliseh.
If you would prefer not to have Taarabt...

[uxbridgeranger]

Drop him.If he learns from it and comes back a better player,then great.if he decides to sulk about it,then sell him

[Yousef]

Too selfish against Bristol City, but hopefuly NW can change his attitude.

Must admit I was disgusted with him yesterday & his selfish play, I just hope Warnocks gives it to him straight because I feel he's slightly moddy coddled as to not upset him.

But believe you me watching Rangers near on 30 years I could list you 20 much worse players. (Don't ask for the list)

[paulmason]

There is no anti Taarabt (or anti Hogan) campaign, from what I have read, people just want him to play the way he did in the first month, where he was fantastic.

Seeing Mackie and then Derry really loosing it and tearing into Adel last night was bad and IMO, any other player would be dropped, but I dont think Warnock has the nuts to do it, because he has given him the armband and plays a system for him.

HH, Adel and Hogan need to be rested with Buzz, Hulse and Smith having a go.

[DeepcutHoop]

No more selfish than he ever has been, the big problem was that the passes he did try were failing time and again.

I'm pretty sure he's not deliberately misplacing passes.......

[swanleyhoop]

I'd disagree, there have been several who have gone further than that and said he shouldn't play, should be sold, they wouldn't care if he's sold etc.
History shows us that, as a fan-base, we often lack patience with players who go on to become legends, because, especially with younger players, people expect the finished product from the off, rather than appreciating that youth brings its particular problems.
I know the word "mollycoddling" has been directed at NW in respect of AT-- perhaps the word "nurturing" might be better, and more complimentary given the way he has managed the whole squad, and not just Taarabt.
