I see the foreign press is now comparing us to Barca. no joke! http://sportv.globo.com/site/progra...ca-33-passes-sem-que-rival-toque-na-bola.html
Cheers, Flyer. Courtesy of Google translate... "QPR 'gives Barça' and exchange 33 passes without rival touch the ball. Team of goalkeeper Julio Cesar shows skill in victory over Middlesbrough and takes fans into a frenzy. Queens Park Rangers, a team of Brazilian goalkeeper Julio Cesar, follows in the fight to return to the elite of English football. And beat Middlesbrough 2-0 on Saturday, the ninth round of the Championship, the Second Division of England. With the Loftus Road Stadium full house owners built the scoreboard with Barton and Austin. No goal, however, was as beautiful as the pitch played by QPR in the first half. The team began exchanging passes with great ease and category, putting the opponent on the wheel. In all, 33 1m6s touches on a lot of creativity (watch the video)."
The difference between that move or a Brendan Rodgers team move was the amount of probing and forward passes, Rodgers would have had 27 of the 33 passes going across the back 4 or to the goalie and the MOTD pundits would be creaming themselves over it.
It is, its insanely boring, I could have a Joe Allen like pass completion ratio if all I had to do it pass it 5 yards backwards to the defenders. The other thing I hate about that is the not needed backpass that puts the goalie in trouble. The defender is thinking, were a goal down but its a good job I didnt hoof it myself and lower my pass completion ratio.
