A bit graceless.....

'We had enough chances to win the game'
QPR 2-2 Everton (QPR win 8-7 on pens)

Everton boss Rafa Benitez, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think we did quite well. We had 17 attempts away from home. We fight back twice so we showed character and attitude. But still we have to be better in both areas. We concede too easily and missed chances that made a difference in the game.

"You cannot say too much because the team was working so hard. We had enough chances to win the game. We were pushing all the time.

"Hopefully, it will be just a bit tiredness and we will see (with injuries). The players gave everything on the pitch."
 
What a great account we gave ourselves against an in-form Prem side. Took the lead twice and held on to pens and scored every single one, just like we did in our last shootout v Orient. Thirteen successful shootout pens. I think we've won our last five penalty shootouts.

wasnt everton the last game you could stand in the loft

seem to remember a 4 1 win to us
 
Just back...what a night.

To start with everyone played so well

Austin did what what Austin does.
He might be older and slower but he really does know where the goal is. After such an awful few weeks, when issues we knew nothing about affected his game...what a response. I apologize Charlie for doubting you.

But Willcox and Chair and McCallum played so well in the first half. They have a complete understanding.

McCallums injury was worrying, no attempt to treat it....Doubt if he will play on Friday

Amos came on, and immediately slotted in , Got say Dozzell did not let us down at all in first half, though.

I thought putting Duke-McKenna on was a heart over head decision by Warbs, but he was so up for it... really pushed on in the last few minutes. Then having the guts to take a penalty...and a great penalty.

I think we have a real prospect there.

But Dunne...what a penalty too.
Dunne is an excellent back up CD....


What a night all round.

Only downside was Ilias Chair being escorted from the pitch by some stewards after the penalties for pitch invasion. I hear pitch invasion warrants a life time ban from entering the stadium... DOH!
 
Have just watched the extended highlights.

An impressive and exciting performance by the Team.

A great atmosphere in the ground.

Must have been a wonderful and emotional experience in the ground. Hope you all managed to get some sleep!
