The problem with Rafa is that he tinkers with the team too much. Our best players should play on a regular basis. Don't know what was behind his thinking benching Mata and Hazard. The team looked sharper on the ball and passed it quicker when Hazard and Mata came on. But Benitez left the change far too late in the game when he put Mata on 74minutes. I thought Benitez underestimated QPR with his team selection. Even though Torres has scored 7 goals and is on a bit of form he is still not consistent enough for me. When Ba signs and joins us he should be our main striker he looks like a player who can score the goals for us he already has 13 league goals this season.
tbf he's been in a wet week. he also put out a team good enough to win by a margin. Nando is pants and QPR defended like fk and hoped. it happens. Norwich Manu?
qpr parked the bus and they parked it well and got a lucky goal. A ten man defence is always a difficult tactic to overcome. I reckon if cech had been on we would of drawn and if terry had of been on we would of probably won.
I think Rafa got it right. Some players needed to be rested and the team put out should have been more than capable of putting QPR away; especially at home. Some of the blame has to lay at the door of the players picked plus credit to QPR for getting up for their twice yearly 'cup final'. It wont be the last time a team puts 10 behind the ball playing for a draw and then nick a win.
