Decent point on the whole but incredibly frustrating to watch. The best we played in the whole match was probably the first two minutes, winning two corners. Comical goal to concede really, ball is cleared, Neville looks favourite to win the ball so Coleman gets in an attacking position to receive a pass but shock horror, Neville ****s up yet again and it's two on two with I think Jagielka and Baines defending the break from Hoillett and Taarabt, and an unfortunate deflection takes it past Howard. The equaliser was fairly straight forward, super ball in from Pienaar combined with poor marking gave Distin a free header which luckily went in from the keeper. The red card left me fuming however, no way in hell was that a yellow card for his 'trip' on Bosingwa. You could see after he went up for a header about a minute earlier he was going to get himself sent off though, it's just annoying it was the wrong decision. On the whole, the referee Mr Moss was nothing short of woeful. The already mentioned red card decision, the failure to give Jelavic a penalty, the failure to give Hoillett a penalty and then the laughable run down the field just to tell Cesar to hurry up and in the process delaying the free kick further. My ratings if any blues come across this board! : Howard - 7 - Apart from a little slip in the first half he made some decent saves and had a good game. Baines - 5 - Had an off day, QPR dealt really well with our left hand side. Distin - 7 - Struggled with his distribution but defended fairly well and 'scored'. Jagielka - 8 - MOTM, was everywhere and got in the way of everything. Coleman - 6 - Lucky not to give away a penalty but he done okay defensively Neville - 3 - Gave the ball away a ridiculous amount of time, just put us under constant pressure. He's a great captain but not a midfielder. Osman - 5 - A bit anonymous but he's never great in these sort of games. Mirallas - 7 - Worked extremely hard and gave us an outlet when we went down to ten men. Pienaar - 4 - And that's without taking the red card into account, really wasn't at the races today. Anichebe - 6 - A couple of neat turns but he didn't really get into the game and was subbed quite early. Jelavic - 5 - Didn't get a lot of service. subs Naismith - 6 - Couldn't really do much when he came on as we were shortly reduced to ten men, done some dogged work well though. Heitinga - N/A - not enough time. Moyes - 7 - Don't think he should have started with Anichebe on the wing but other than that I don't see a lot he could have done differently. On the whole I'm quite happy with the point. One loss in 8 games isn't half bad.
