Redknapp: Taarabt played like Messi against West Ham

[qblockoompah]

We were defending a point. Adel is a liability when we defend.

Tosh! Adel is a great outlet when we are under pressure! Did you not watch Chelsea away? We defended for 90 mins and Adel was immense. Holds the ball up better than BZ sometimes, and he's a master at it

Has Harry gone bonkers Adel was excellent in the first half. Second half non existent we couldn't get the ball forward to give him and Remy a chance, WHU spotted our weakness in the air and and just bombed the life out of us with long balls into the box. If other teams watch that they'll know what to do to us?

Sometimes he does; sometimes he doesn't. Held it brilliantly at Chelsea; couldn't hold it yesterday. And he can't do it by himself. Bobby Z will be v useful, but in order to hold and play the ball we need to replace either Mackie, Derry or Mbia with a midfielder who can hold and pass the ball. Could Granero, if no one comes in, do that job??

Of course he could. Granero was excellent against Chelsea. He has just needed time to adapt to English football
