Thanks for that Moroccan.Great promotional video that demonstrates everything thats good about Taarabt.On the strength of that you'd say he was a £20m player.Naturally what it doesn't show is his failings.Too much show-boating in important matches, regularly being disposessed which often leads to goals for the opposition and failing to pass to better placed team-mates in goal scoring positions.I don't think he'll change I'm afraid and for that reason I wouldn't have him in my starting eleven.Sorry about that.Such a shame for a naturally gifted player,but leopards don't change their spots as they say.Thanks again though for that entertaining three and a half miutes or so.

So true, capable of brilliance but affraid it is, and always will be, about him!

After watching some of these clips, I am still shocked how we didn't manage to score from some of these opportunities.

The bit that should have lead to a goal was a shot from Adel that fell to Mackie who should have buried his chance. Everything else for me shows Adel too deep.

Yep and I'm pretty sure his role was to be up just behind cisse. He will take some time getting used to it.

Really, it would be much easier to play someone who can play that position, as we are now in the PL.

Once he learns it there will be nobody better in the squad to play this role.

Agreed, but we could be relegated before he learns to pass, which is key in that position.

Adel has really changed, the one of championship is not that one we have now, I see a progress there, I have'nt noticed too much show-boating in that video rather than such great passes, As I said before I wish we are having a real striker and that is what we miss at the moment, 2 or 3 shots from Adel , Mackie missed a real goal from one of them while I haven't seen one real chance from Cisse. Anyway I am not defending Adel here rather posting my humble opinion.
