Completely agree PnP. It's like a home match but even more difficult as we have no width to play with. It's going to take something special to score today or an individual error. That was an annoying foul to give away as he was never getting there.
I don't like having digs at players but Adebayor is way off form and should be subbed as soon as. Its like we are down to 10 men
Another first half in which we dominate possession, barely create anything, get bugger all from the ref and don't take advantage of how much we've had the ball. Ho hum.
Ade is nothing short of a disgrace. If he is going to go off to the ANC then he could at least put a shift in today. I think the guy has been absolutely useless all season and Dempsey must be wondering what he has got to do to get a game. Please Harry come in for him and take him off of our hands so we can get a decent striker with the crazy wages we are paying him.
A lot to be said for an early goal had Ade scored would have been a much more open game and not nine men behind the ball hopefully they tire in the second half and it doesn't turn into one of those 1-0 games we have seen go against us so often
That was two as gooder saves as you'll see, as frustrating as it is for us they deserve huge credit. If it was Lloris imagine the amount of jizz all over GH's front room!
Lofting balls into the box isn't going to work against their defence, Ade's at his best, aerially, when he's got a ball coming in from the flank that he can run onto, he's not going to start winning the ball for knockdowns any time soon. As has been said though, we're getting no joy down the wings anyway. When the ball is getting cleared from the box there's not been any of our players just outside looking to pick up the second ball which is making it all too easy for them. We could do with Dempsey getting involved in between the defence and midfield but once again we can't do that because we don't have any strikers to bring on if we need to chase the game. Frustrating.
Mbia is a bit useful I've never seen Dembele disposesed so often, if at all. Good defence by QPR generally, but they are working very hard and I wonder (hope) they won't be able to keep this up for the 90 minutes. We look very controlled and our quality will tell in the end IMO.
We keep bypassing Dembele, if we're going through the middle he has to be involved, he can go past players and take them out the game, we need him running toward those two old fart CB's of theirs and get them making decisions. Mbia has knocked him about a bit though, I hope he's not wimping out.
