Adel Taarabt had just completed a 90-minute workout against Wolves at QPR’s west London training centre when he was approached by QPR manager Harry Redknapp.
‘He spends most of the time in his office but when he gets off the phone he comes down to watch for five or 10 minutes - he never takes a session,’ revealed Taarabt. ‘That’s when he said he had it in mind to start me against Liverpool.’
Instead Taraabt didn’t even make the bench on Sunday and learned of Redknapp’s stinging criticism of his physical condition - claiming the Moroccan is ‘about three stones overweight’ - when he was at home watching Stoke vs Swansea.

I am a professional - this is not about retaliation, this is about protecting my reputation,’ said Taarabt. ‘I played in that reserve game for 90 minutes and if he didn’t think I was running he could have taken me off. Maybe I didn’t perform like I could because it was a reserve team game and I was protecting myself.

‘Just because we are losing games I am not going to kick the ball in the stands. My job is to create, bring goals to the team. Maybe he expects me to make more tackles. I am not this type of player. I can only get fitness playing Premier League. You can train six or seven hours, but you won’t be fit.’

Taarabt paints a picture of a chaotic training regime as QPR adjust to life back in the Barclays Premier League. When he arrives in west London for this interview straight after training on Monday, he announced his arrival by lifting his T-shirt. It has to be said he looks in good shape.



HARRY'S FULL COMMENTS ON ADEL TAARABT
When asked about the current fitness status of the QPR midfielder:
'No, he's not fit: he's not fit to play football, unfortunately.
'He played in a reserve team game the other day, and I could have run about more than he did.
'So no, I can't pick him.
'I pick people that want to try, and deserve to be at a good football club like QPR, and want to work, and come in every day and want to work, and train, and show a good attitude.
'And that's what I got today from the players.
'When he starts doing that, whether he ever can do it, maybe he'll get a game.
'The other lads, I've got a fantastic group of lads here, absolutely superb, all of them.
'I can't keep protecting people who don't want to run about and train, who are about three stone overweight.
'What am I supposed to keep saying, keep getting your 60, 70 grand a week and don't train?
'What's the game coming to?
'The others are as good as gold.'
