QPR Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Syn_13]

Lol, why the fuck do the pundits need to show off their iPads? Just put it up on the big screen. Blatant product placement.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

In other more light hearted news its 1-0 to Nigeria vs Sparta Rotterdam in a friendly. I wouldn't even be able to guess how that friendly came about...

 

[Show Pony]

Boy do they suck Taarabt's cock on Sky.

They just pointed out he wasnt so great with the new Sky Sports App

 

[nightgoat]

Blimey, a free kick outside their area!

 

[L-man]

Dangerous position for the free kick here

But we wont score so it doesnt matter

 

[Only 1 Spurs]

Hard to play football when they pull everybody behind the ball.

 

[Soelistyo]

seems QPR are doing all the pressing. aside from the loss of an in-form player, the loss of Sandro has another negative effect where AVB probably won't be as quick to use a 2nd sub so early to replace Adebayor, whose touch reminds me of Iversen today.

QPR playing very smartly, defending deep to avoid being caught on the break and passes over the top. as if they don't need 3 points as much as we do. we're playing into their hands, to the extent that there's no off the ball movement from our lot.

Follow up - with Naughton in there at LD when Bale was on the left, all QPR have to do is double team Bale and let Spurs knock it back to Naughton knowing any atacking intent ends,.... Naughton to Dawson, Dawson making the play instead of Bale = QPR victory....

Naughton sub out for Caulker, Verts to LD and crush QPR on the flanks presuming Bale on LW with Lennon on RW - COYS!!!!

Grappo 2001 hit this issue with 2 disagrees, but offers no insightful counterpoint.... this neg rep system is ultimately useless...

 

[Grapo2001]

How inaccurate was that ipad app thing. taraabt has been down by our penalty area.

 

[Gedson100]

My only fear is that Caulker doesn't seem to have Mackie covered adequately.

From the bench, no, he hasn't

 

[Damian99]

Caulker being much better than him?

It would appear AVB doesn't hold the same opinion as your good self.

 

[Oshi]

One word... The curse of the Barclays Monthly Manager award has hit again.. Hate that award.

Which word? I have 16 to choose from!

I just disagree and think Naughton does alright going forward. Don't cry.

 

[Misfit]

Guess my words may come back to bite me.

Seriously we dominate every midfield in the league and getting mugged off by Park, Derry and M'Bia. Disgraceful.

Performance reeks of complacency.

Negatives

Dembele has been awful; I've always told everyone how he 'never loses the ball' I think he's lost it in this game more times than he has all season.

Dawson good defending but cut out them hopeless long balls.

Parker is actually more suited to this game than Sandro because of his better technical ability.

Bale anonymous... Far too inconsistent to be 'world class'

Adebayor is just bereft of any confidence at the moment, not sure what's going on behind the scenes but his first touch is woeful.

Walker has gifted them their two best chances as he still can't defend to save his life - He loses his many constantly; liability.

Their animal like fans booing Lennon for being obviously failed... Nice one.

M'Bia - First of all thought he was 'dominating' but now on reflection he's just fouling again and again.

The referee is clearly scared to give anything for us.

Positives
Feel Defoe is growing more and more into the 'all round' style of play AVB wants- Still not ideal though for one up top.

We know how options on the bench to change this up - Would bring Dempsey on for Adebayor.

Completely your fault this. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Parker just over....

 

[nightgoat]

i was so close to turning the game off when another dawson diagonal went sailing into the crowd

Vertonghen's done that a few times too but doesn't get anywhere near the flak Dawson does.

 

[chrissivad]

Adel 45 touches, none in our penatly area, most in his own half....stats show the true story

that he is a striker and shouldnt be in our penalty box

cant be no touches in their penalty box as he hit the shot from inside there

 

[Oshi]

Great seeing Parker back out there, good old Blood and Guts.

 

[Show Pony]

Bale someone nip back to changing and get Bales brain...left it in there at HT

 

[Monkey Bastard Hands]

Fucking hell, anyone reading this thread would think a football match is over after 45 mins! Let's keep positive, still a long way to go yet.
