At least those 4 bust a gut, unlike a lot of the other lazy feckers, but I gather not all was sweet between Harry and Taarabt when he was at Spurs. Nelsen and Mackie leave everything they have on the pitch, but especially in Mackie's case the quality is not always there. Harry might have to get a bit of money in January, we're down to one recognised striker in Cisse now and MH never really addressed defensive frailties. I wonder how Cisse will react to Jo Jordan's boot up his ar$e!
I said this about Taraabt to a mate earlier and we both agreed that Tarbs is a far more mature asset than he was...and besides when 'Arry took the piss out of him before he came to us at the Spuds, it was actually quite funny.
I'll be glad to see how the players react generally though I don't think with Taraabt's work rate he has much to worry about - Bosingwa, Mbia, SWP, Onuoha on the other hand, do, and I'll be glad to see them sidelined, kicked out, pensioned off or whatever....especially Bosingwa.
As for Mackie I agree, he doesn't always show the quality but is capable. Cisse, I hope, will be given further time, Zamora won't make one iota of difference to anything with three months on the sidelines and as for Jung Si Park, well, I hope they leave him at Old Trafford tomorrow.
Nelson needs to marshall the defence a lot better than he has but I hope he's given more time and I still think there's room for Derry in the defensive midfield. Diakite I think will go from strength to strength, I'll be very pleased to see Ali Faurlin playing well again and although the jury's out, there's still hope for both Ferdinand and Traore...but only just. Granero can just keep doing what he's doing.
I'd also like to see Hogan Ephraim get a game, but all will become clear when Harold gets to work on Monday...ahem...7 points adrift at the foot of the table.
