HT ANalysis
We strted well then we got sloppy they scored and dominated us. We got a lucky goal and that killed their confidence.
Ramsey needs to come off because he is a MIDIELDER NOT A WINGER
We have no LW because Ramsey drifts in to his natural position and Gibbs get double-teamed eaning the attack us from the left
I'd bring Oxo/Gervihno on for Rambo in the 2nd haflf. Also AW needs to hammer them into upping the tempo
 
That was a nice strike!! we very nearly went in front. Stop with the hate campaign.

Ramsey at least can strike a ball something Gervinho is completely unable to do.(admittedly i would prefer Oxo to either)

No hate campaign but the kid is simply not good enough for this level - and it was not a great strike it was a weak drag across goal (the usual with him)

<doh>

He is being as played as a winger. I can't even remember Ramsey ever doing that before. Everyone thought Rosicky would move to the left and Ramsey in the middle. He started badly but got into the game more as it went on. Just like the team.

Correct - its decisions like this from Wenger that are baffling. No way in the world do you take our slowest and maybe weakest player and put them on the wing.

i think he has been weak here and is trying to get Ramsey game time to keep him happy.
 
Perhaps I shouldn't be too surprised that QPR are getting under our skin. No one fears us anymore. They do respect us but not many fear us.

COYG let's show them!!!

Oh I think there's plenty to fear but we have no choice but to go for it. With man u & city away we need all the points we can get.

I can see us fading badly second half and RVP making the most of it.

I'd take a point right now
 
Btw for the Song critics, it was his defensive midfield break up that began the goal. :-) But overall was a poor half, we need to play faster, we are playing very slow, and everytime we play slow it hurts us.

He's not been good all season - but I agree playing him as a winger is a dumb decision.

This...that being said we need a real winger (Gervihno/Walcott) instead of Ramsey playing on the left
 
I can't for the life of me understand why Ramsey is being played as a winger while Gervinho and Oxo sit on the bench. Someone please explain some kind of rationale for this decision?

The only logical conclusion is that AW wants GErv and Oxo to come on and kill them with pace in the 2nd half

There is no rationale that would make any sense. It's just a dumb decision by Wenger.
 
QPR have one of the worst defences in the league, and yet we go playing them without an all attack formation by playing bloody Ramsey as a Wenger to simply re-enforce our midfield, we should have started with either Gervinho or Oxo, bring either of them on.
 
We need to up the tempo in the 2nd half.

And swap Ramsey for Gervinho.

Then the midfield will have a better out and take pressure off in the centre of the park. Which will stop us losing possession and putting Kos and Vermaelen under presssure. Tiawo is playing quite well and keeping the right side fairly quiet. So I think the key to the 2nd half could be down the left with Gervinho and walcott or Oxo and Walcott swapping flanks.
