I agree that we looked better with Zarate, Vargas and Isla on. They all should start in a fluid formation along with Taarabt imo. Play Zarate, Taarabt amd Fer in behind Vargas.
I will lecture you when you post such shallow rubbish and don't care one bit . It was clear Traore was there to do a stopping job and that involves a lot work without the ball He is a very smart player that Clyne very smart indeed real quality and moves just at the right moment Traore did well I watched every bloody second on the ball and off it and it's not fair to pick out a player that did his job well I have already said that on the ball he was poor on distribution fFS we could pick entire holes in everyone esp Players like Fer today who was a passenger I reply to challenge posters when they get it wrong imo Posting rubbish well look back over time you will find the current average QPR fan does what ? Slag off individual players how bloody naive is that I don't care how people take it I see things as they really are and care not if people think I know very little ... It's your choice I am fully confident in my understanding of football
Yeah, agree they'd have been better selections, but still don't think we offer enough right across midfield.
Agree about Ramsey. Maybe a bit too gung ho with 2 wide men but much prefer that to the lack of tactics and usually no apparent plan we'very had.
Traore was awful both with and without the ball. He was lacklustre and always yards off his man. You think you're always right, but you're not. Individual players have been slagged off by fans since the dawn of the game ffs! If I can see that someone like Traore isn't putting in the effort, I will moan about him. Most of us thought the same thing about Bosingwa..............another of your favourite players who you always defended. You get it wrong so often it's laughable.
That has to be the biggest load of utter bollox I've ever read on this Forum and there's been plenty to choose from, you've completely surpassed yourself DT...
We just need to tweak it COL. I think the basics are there. The effort was on show today and between Fer, Phillips (okay, I know you don't like him) and especially Taraabt, there were some good footballers who can do decent things with the ball and create summat. Maybe like you suggested, put Vargas up top with Zarate supporting and Isla wide right? Its not that we've bad players IMO, its just that we're out of whack. You know, a wee bit lopsided?
The flicks and tricks didn't come off and of course it looks poor but personally I think you keep going with that creativity then Good things grow It's was a poor game but take stock of where we were Saints are tight and full respect to them 2 secs quicker and Ward Prowse looked good but I hope we can all agree that we can do flair as well albeit one disjointed performance from a new team A draw would of been a good result Credit to the manager he grows this away from home we could well see our first away points come soon Keep it up I say Drop Traore next match but not because he was poor on the ball off it he did well My point is we have the players We can get better and will unlock teams imo
Ok give me some positives then? Can you? Traore went off at 75 not because he was poor because he did his job to stop a very clever player who is I believe a England player ? Isla came on to try and win it as he is a far better attacker imo than a defender What this is Traore isn't liked but he has one thing no one has mentioned in his game excellent pace to cancel out Clyne vision and positioning He did that well for 75 min And bollocks posters want him never to play again That is rubbish
I didn't say I didn't like Traore. When I saw the team I was pleased to see him in his correct position. However, he played terribly. He didn't track off the ball well and looked disinterested. It's all opinions and yours is just that......an opinion. Not fact. Positives? Zarate looked good and should start imo. Fer looked better in the middle, but was too deep. (He had to be as we played a very open midfield). Dunne played well until he went off injured. Barton was excellent.
The game is called football DT, if when you get the ball you f*ck up every time you won't get very far, no matter how much you do off the ball it's what you do with the ball that counts. Traore is the full-back we signed from Arsenal a few days after he played in their 8-2 defeat against ManUre, a resounding recommendation if ever there was one, he just doesn't cut it at the top level...
Not being funny you dnt play for arsenal and be **** . Sort yourself out aye , we turn talent **** in the last few years it's a common issue .
I was surprised with the starting line up thought we looked better with the Chileans Zarate looked up for it but I think he is a bit of a ball hog tarrabt always good to watch hill/dunne just too old now pity hoillet and yun not available today(even swp) nothing to add about traore everybody liked as promised
Does that make me a bollocks poster? Yes, Traore has excellent pace, but that doesn't make him a footballer. You profess to know more about the game than the rest of us DT, but you really don't.
Completely agree, Nico ahead of Traore every time. Not sure who our best winger is at the moment. I know it's not Traore, SWP or Phillips.
I thought Phillips did well today when on the right side. Some good crosses, only a couple of total fukk ups. He can't play left side though.
Perhaps we should try Taarabt out on the left, when Yun is back fit there would be plenty of decent cover. Can't do it with Hill at Left Back though.
