Adel just cannot defend

[Marshy]

Continually flatters to deceive, slows the play down undoubtedly has ability but little end product hence the fact he has more successful dribbles than Messi but scores about 100th of the goals. As for his positioning and defending its worst than a 10 year old school boy. Yes he does work harder now even challenges for headers, but by his own admission this harder work leaves him short of energy to hurt teams. Before you all cheer his new found work rate he is meant to be a professional athlete who can do both sides of the game.

If SWP, Cisse, Zamora, Granero or Bosingwa had played like Tarrabt did today loads on here would be slaughtering them but because its Tarrabt he is made to be this world beater which he most definently is not. Anther couple of games and Rednapp won't even have him on the bench, just as no other manager wants him in their team.

Are you on drugs?

He didn't get slaughtered because he did not do much wrong. He worked hard, he tried, he got an assist, yes, he did not do anything spectacular, but then again, who did?

[Marshy]

It's nothing to do with that, I for one don't think he has what it takes to play at a bigger Prem club at the moment, it's the fact that if you take him out of this poor team that has virtually no attacking threat, we will just beome a poor team with absolutely zero attacking threat.

Exactly.

Adel should not have to defend ever anyway,hes an attacking mf.

Exactly, you know things are wrong when your main attacking threat is constantly being asked to defend.

[dave58]

Not even a case of defending, its just trying and making it hard for the opposition, not watching and casually pretending to go for the ball. Total bottler.

This is exactly it very weak attempts to make any sort of challange its to easy for the opposition to get past it and teams exploit it. also now giving the ball away far too much.in his defence not many of the others are making it hard for opposing teams

Did you go to the game or are your Tarrabt tinted glasses restricting your view again!

I didn't go to the game, but that's a straw man argument. I have no tinted glasses, I am able to criticise when necessary, it still does not change the fact you're talking out of your ar*e. I mean, seriously, you're going to look like a right idiot when in a few weeks he is still playing.

[Martinmalta]

Remember Neil Warnock instructing our players not to pass the ball to Adel in our half! He knew Adel so much.

[stanistheman]

QPR probably need Taarabt to focus more on attacking the opposition as that is where he can hurt them.
I hope that Redknapp will focus more on attacking than defending because QPR need wins not draws or trying to nick a win here and there.

As I have said many times time will tell. Keep deluding yourself all you want Tarrabt has been available for the last 4 years, do you really think other managers didn't know about him at Spurs. Whilst he is extremely talented there are very big questions over his fitness and attitude which remind me a little of Lee Trundle, research YouTube he looks a world beater and can be on his day. Who does he play for, actually can't remember but it's some welsh league side last I heard. Same issues as Adel I am affraid.

[LoftusRoadLad]

So....If we get rid of Adel who could you replace him with ? Is there a player out there who has as much creative passing and dribbling skills as our boy but can also defend to your standard ? Cant think of anyone !

sorry going to the game is a big part of it, you need to be there to see what he's doing wrong! you cant see that from an armchair? he's trying but trying is not enough he needs to develop all aspects of his game his decision making lately has been very poor giving the ball away far too much and to easy to get past.

[MattyRangers]

In the premier league most teams, even those near the bottom are very well organised, they get broken down with quick play, intelligent late runs and movement. Tarrabt undoubtedly has ability but rarely gets into the box, slows play down and is a woeful finisher, exampled by Stoke away, Reading home etc.

If he is as good as many on here believe he will undoubtedly end up at one of the big teams, him and his agent keep throwing those links out there, afraid too many of you believe his publicity.

Time will tell.

He is still our most talented and creative player by a long way and I think most would find that hard to argue with.

WOW comparing Taarabt to Lee Trundle, at least give Adel some credit and compare him to someone like Quaresma or Denilson, someone with the ability to go to the top but didn't quite do it, not bloody Lee Trundle who has never had the ability to go far. Lee Trundles showboating was against dog n duck players not premiership stars.
