Is It Me....

or has taarabt put on some weight since leaving us?

Even then he wasn`t exactly the smallest grape on the vine

 

Maybe that's why Jol doesn't want to play him from the start.
How big is he looking ? I didn't see it on TV

 

Think u are right. He was also at the start of the second Chelsea goal after the ball was nicked from his feet. Sad.

 

I thought he spread the ball around well yesterday, good accurate passing, a lot out to players in space in wide positions. He didn't look any fatter to me, but he didn't look fit enough to get past defenders at that level, and gave that up quick when he seemed to realise this.

 

He looked bad yesterday, losing the ball regularly as usual. And to be in such a state physically when your job is to play football - and being payed obscenely well to do it - is nothing short of a disgrace.

Thankfully he'll never don our colours again.

 

Swords, I make you right but if Harry leaves then it might be a different story.

 

I largely agree with all of this, except the way Swords has spelt "paid".

 

A couple of times when he lost the ball he didnt exactly bust a gut trying to win it back.

 

Oh goody................another Taarabt thread!!

 

He is just another player with wasted skill and potential.
If he can not be bothered to keep fit then that speaks volumes about his interest and attitude.
