SULKER ... Adel Taarabt
JOEY BARTON has accused QPR team-mate Adel Taarabt of being a lazy sulker.
Rangers skipper Barton, who took the captain's armband off Taarabt after joining the Londoners in August, has blasted the Moroccan's workrate and told him to buck his ideas up.
Barton said: "It's not a case of anybody giving him advice, it's whether it's taken on board.
"This is the top level of world football and if you're not prepared to work hard you'll come up massively short.
"If I was Adel and had his ability, I'd not want to be coming up short, having not worked hard enough.
"I came here and was told he was a genius and I'm yet to see it. I don't know whether it's because he does not work hard enough or whether he tends to sulk."
