MH explains Taarabt absence

[vblockranger]

Today was always going to be a game for grafters who are prepared to run their socks off chasing the opposition down and harrying them trying to get the ball off them. It wasn't a game for ponsy primadonnas who throw their toys out the pram if they don't get the ball enough or their tricks and flicks don't come off.

Adel would've had a sulk on today during the match when outclassed and not grafted imo, hence not involved.

Also for those saying his tracking back has improved... yes it has, but that's because it used to be non existent! Do you honestly see him being wasteful on the edge of their box then busting a gut 60 yards back if needed... i dont, but i can imagine it from SWP, Park, Dyer, Mackie....

No brainer decision for me and i think the exact reason Hoilett didn;t start either.

Good decision by Hughes and his reasons make perfect sense.

[hal9thou]

Hughes on tactics..... its like Homer Simpson on brain surgery....

[hoops1969]

WELL said adel drops hes head ,when its not going hes way

[Shania]

Dont agree with MH tactics on this issue

Cant have a player of his calibre not even make the bench but have Dyer on the bench and even bring him on

Does make me wonder

I can perfectly understand Hughes. Because Hughes is the gaffer. Personally, I would have introduced Taarabt when the team is more set. Just my take at it.

[QPRDave]

so you think taraabt would have been a good replacement for faurlin or the pirate?

Not a chance, said yesterday I think he could be on his way

Barton has already been cast as "evil vermin" by the righteous on here m8 so dont go confusing them as their brains will overload.

As a qpr fan, to try to compare adel and barton is unforgiveable. Adel has done more for qpr than anyone in the current squad.

So IF Adel left in another strop yesterday for the second time thats not as bad as Barton getting sent off in the City game? think its much worse! dont know where your coming from?

you're right on your first point. However, in my view adel has done more in a qpr shirt than any player in current squad or for that matter any player in squads before that. Barton had had less than 10 good games for us. They are not comparable.

There are not many managers that the fans will agree with on all their decisions. I personally would have had him on the bench, but I think MH has a big thing for players attitude. He has made a few very thinly veiled comments aimed at Joey about this (when talking about other players) and I think he may have an issue with Tarbs too.

He grew up with Fergy and he would not tolerate anything other than total professionalism. I doubt he likes Twitter use, poor standards, flashyness etc.

However, MH is going to make mistakes. He is about as good a manager we can attract at this stage of our development, but that does not mean he is one of the top managers. He is an average PL manager IMHO. He will have his views and we won't always agree with them. But we have to get on with it and support.

Whatever you think about his choice yesterday - we didn't get any points. So a different team selection may have done better, though unlikely, but couldn't have got less points.

I wouldn't even have SWP in the squad myself - he was useless all last season and haven't seen a thing to change my mind.

Yeah, but can you see SWP, Park, Dyer or Mackie taking one touch and threading a 20 yard ball through to put Zamora 1-1. Because I sure can't.

Adel leaving early had absolutely no effect on the game.
Barton getting sent off put us down to 10 men, banned him for future games, and could have got us relegated.

The two are incomparable.

Be careful with that one - you might be labelled Fulham!

Exactly

I absolutey agree with Del, this was a working mans game! Quite interesting to see Dyer back as well, he didn't do too bad at all.
