Fair enough mate. I thought Dune was very poor and I just don't rate Phillips. He makes a sloth look dynamic!! I think that we went to three at the back when Hill went off with Yun and Phillips as wing backs. I completely agree with the rest of your post. The hoof ball has been failing for weeks now, but Ramsey just bangs on about how important BZ is to us. He's out of his depth and it showed badly yesterday. Not using all the subs was just unbelievable. Maybe he's been told that we must go down?!!
Even with players lacking match fitness etc we could have started with this: -----------------------------Green---------------------------- Isla-------------Onuoha------------Hill-----------------Yun ------------------Barton------------Sandro----------------- Phillips---------------------Fer--------------------Taarabt -------------------------Austin-------------------------------- As Fer and Taarabt tired they could have been replaced (we may have been ahead by then!).
We were solid enough IMO in fact looked the better of the two teams It didn't go in and we had the chances but I saw a game where West Ham could of also taken all the points ... That was a bad miss late on by them I agree maybe Taarabt would of constructed better football I am sure there are plans for the result we got and we are not down yet so lads get uplifted only when it's over is it over Love all the QPR family let's blame later we can get points from City and Liverpool if we continue to play this solid and Ramsey gets the credit IMO It can happen and a result at City will get everyone up again
Fathom a bit more then. Or perhaps Mr Ramsey will explain it tomorrow. You can't play more than about the 2 we had on who were already knackered. As it was we were unlucky not to win it in the last 20 minutes - we were robbed by the Ref again.
How about Traore down the left Ozzie? As bad as he is he'd at least have posed more of an attacking threat than Henry did
You just don't get it do you? We needed a goal. Ramsey left two very attacking players on the bench and left two defensive midfielders on. He screwed up! It was a foul by Caulker because the keeper had both hands on the ball when Caulker headed it out of his hands. Don't blame the ref...blame Ransey's ineptitude.
Absolutely no chance......we been walking the Green Mile since OBZ's winner a year ago. Like I said before this turd ain't for polishing, get rid of the dross and start again and for what it is worth I don't think CR is the answer.
I wrote that above, but at LB for Clint who was poor when he did get forward and as Yun did, had problems with Hammers speed down that side. But Traore wasn't on the Bench so he's probably not fit either. Henry defended well, reduced their threat down our left, and nearly scored our winner, a great shot, and save from their Keeper who with that and another late on from Phillips, looked like he had sore fingers at the end.
We may be stuck with him as I can't see any decent manager walking into the mess we'll be in the summer with all the sanctions to come...
Ramsey seems to love 4-4-2 hoof ball every bit as much as Redknapp did. The only difference between the two is that the players are playing for Ramsey, whereas I believe Redknapp had lost them.
Hoof ball or whatever you call it is a tactic however I agree we haven't executed it well enough Playing long to two strikers against teams that will beat us on the deck is a proven tactic ... Count up how many goals we gave away and games we lost trying to play out from the back this season I agree it's not Rangers football but the clear goal is to stay up with the mess Harold built It's the solid platform that has put us in matches and we can match Liverpool and City using this tactic IMO our best chance Long two up front putting defences under pressure and a midfield picking up the scraps ... It's working IMO WBA couldn't cope with it I see Liverpool and City struggle with it ... You need just. Few chances to win at this level but if we try and revert back to Harold's idea of playing through teams we won't be in games ... We all know that our players aren't quite to level required or they low of confidence/ injured or on poor form It takes time to build all of that and CR has a clear target with the tools he was given and it's too easy to play fantasy football on paper I see the current style as a necessary measure No one should be able to stale the effort on here it's top drawer under Ramsey Missed chances are hard to take
So finally you now recognise this fact DT after you have been carping on all season as to how good our squad is? I will be jumping for joy once the season ends and we are either in the Championship (odds on) or Premiership (long shot) and those players that have no interest or are crap have gone.
Every game we lose posters say we should be playing him, and when we do play him and we lose, then we say we should be playing him and not him? Example, a few games ago Phillips was cr@p and should never start now he should start every game? We should just trust the manager who watches the players in training and works out formations. Adel looked up for it during half time warm but do any of you know what he has been like in training all week?
I'm not convinced by Adel nowadays. When was the last time Adel had a good game for us? Cardiff away in 2011 was it? Kranky has at least some from this season with us.
Our squad is very good Madrid with a shot of confidence I agree however we are on the edge of a cliff and this squad could be something we can only dream of again. My full opinion will come after we know where we are I agree with you that some players have to go You should know by now that I like a certain type of rangers football but at the moment the task is simy staying up got no time to slag until it's time I like everyone else am furious still with Redknapp and that idiot TF
I'm amazed people still think Taarabt is the answer to our woes. He's had so many chances this season - and every time without exception he's looked unfit and off the pace. Yes, the odd stepover and nutmeg in a non-threatening area are a throwback to that one great season when he single-handedly got us promoted. But it's time to face facts, he's no longer the game changer he was. That player has gone. Can we all move on now?
I don't recall anyone saying that Taarabt is the answer to our woes. I merely stated that we should have brought on one of Taarabt or Kranjcar for the last 25-30 minutes against West Ham instead of leaving both Henry and Sandro on for the entire game.
