Harry Redknapp praises "unplayable" Adel Taarabt

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has hailed Adel Taarabt for the performance that he put in during his side's first victory of the season against Fulham this afternoon.

The Moroccan scored both goals for the R's, who survived a late scare when Mladen Petric struck for the visiting Whites.

Reflecting on the performance of his attacker, Redknapp described the 23-year-old as "unplayable".

"Adel can still be a fruitcake but he's got so much talent and ability. When he plays like he did today he's as good as anyone," he told reporters.

"He's a top top talent. He could play anywhere on days like today. He was unplayable at times."

Reports have claimed that QPR could lose Taarabt in January to the Africa Cup of Nations.
