All the best players in the world miss penalties......I seem to recall Messi missing one against Chelsea last year no?
No player can have 100% penalty record.
With respect Frank, that's not the point. The point is he shouldn't have been taking it in the first place. He can't take corners, he can't take frees so he definitely shouldn't be given the spot-kicks. This isn't hindsight either. The moment the penalty was given I said I hoped to God it wasn't Taarabt that was going to take it because sure as hell he'd miss it. And miss it he did. He's just far too casual with everything he does.
Good to have one and great to watch.
I honestly find it almost unbearable half the time.
Whilst he's definitely one of our better players, do wonder sometimes whether we'd function as a more effective TEAM without him. Got like that with Rodney Marsh towards the end of his time with us. Soon as he went, we started getting better results!
That's all that matters at the end of the day.
The thing I hold most against him is that he doesn't release the ball when he should in many occasions.
That's exactly it Pirata. When I say I can't bear watching him sometimes its for that very reason and that reason alone. I abhor DIYers. I hated them in the schoolyard when there was nothing on the line and I hate them 10 times more when they're playing for QPR. So selfish. Not to mention stupid. Laying a ball off and creating a goal is exactly what makes a player great and that's what would get top managers looking at him. Unfortunately our crowd at LR doesn't help. They give it all the "ooh" "aah" when he does something silly on the half way line and because he's not the sharpest tool in the box, it encourages him to do it in the opposition's box when the time is perfect for a simple lay off to a team mate.
He's gotten better for sure but for the sake of my blood pressure, the sooner we sell him the better
Bloody idiot Swords
He is a recognised talent and a danger player ... A player any team in this ****ing league would identify as our danger player
You base your entire post on a dribble that may go wrong
When you run at defences you open them that won't come off everytime
His vision is his craft
School yard football is way off the mark as even there talent is recognised yet you build that as selfish
You haven't made such a daft post for months
Taarabt's corner could improve
He played a dead ball yesterday that was world class simply world class nothing less and you talk about selling him
He got swamped first half and was maybe only 40 % of himself yet nearly scored . Any team knows that if you stop our playmaker then we don't tick
They did a reasonable job yesterday yet he still looked better than any Norwich player will ever become
I don't like what your idea of football is
And the crowd at LR get to see everything you will never get that from a camera never because you don't see 11 players as a team
Adel did run into a couple of dead alleys yesterday and the simple fact was poor movement up front to feed and poor support around him
You need to see the whole game
The pen was in fact a great save
Not a bad pen
I was sitting on the corner flag in z6 as I need to be close to the away fans otherwise I don't get my bloodbuzz
I can tell everyone that Adel Taarabt cares and has this club now in his blood 6 feet away from him you can smell it, taste it as well as see it in his eyes. And it feeds us the LR faithful to say you want him sold is brave mate
You would be ripped to shreds in seconds and I could only keep the pack off you for so long were you to say this at the ground.
I have no idea what Swords QPR team would look and play like but I wouldn't watch them
Glad you can see the funny side. The very sad truth as shown yet again yesterday is that if he does not do it, there is no one else in that team who will? By the way what game were you watching after the first 20 minutes? Are you sure you wern't watching some third rate B movie?
