Bearded clown needs to change his boots or amputate his legs, his kicking has been atrocious

Naismith will come on before Barkley.

Wouldn't dislike that entirely

Naismith will come on before Barkley.

Don't ruin it for me dude.
We need to take the game to them 2nd half and get a 2nd

We're gonna be last on MOTD2 aren't we

Not exactly riveting stuff, is it?!

Keeps the team going

[Abraders]

How are we playing lads?

7/10 in attack, Kone the weak link. Lukaku general play is nice, Lennon lively.

4/10 in defence, relying on last ditch challenges all the time, or crowding out a player 4 to 1 in our own box. Don't think we've stopped a cross yet, one of which should've been a goal for them if Zamora was alright

 

[toffeejack]

decent performance. QPR played right into our hands and we've set up perfectly with the right personnel to hit on the counter. jagielka has looked a bit shaky to me, leaving too much space for austin.

they've flung so many crosses in and howard is still yet to come off his line. i'd be way more confident with robles in goal.

wonderful goal from us, reminsicent of last season.

 

[SunKing]

I wish we had kept Victor and Duffy instead of signing Kone and Alcaraz.

We'd be in exactly the same position but 6 million richer and Duffy might have won a couple of effin headers the other night.

70 mins, Naismith on, Kone off.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Need to tighten up at the back.
Stones and Jags playing well individually, but too many big gaps and they have had chances.
Keep giving those chances and they will score.

Like to Kone and Rom showing a bit quicker and play with head up, look for the runners.

Still, winning and will be grateful for 3 points if we can keep going.

You've forgot to mention his catching, coming of his line, command of his area and managing his defence.

Yep

 

[wandyr79]

we might be winning here but our defensive frailties are exactly the same. Just thankful we have stones to clean up.

To be fair Jags and Stones have been fairly solid in the face of Howard scared to go catch a ball.

Gibbo is 100 times better than Barry in front of the back 4.

......provides more dimension. I'm sure a key part of Barry's role was to cover Baines (especially in the Pienaar days). Gibson is more conventional meaning Baines has to also be more conventional. Much more balance but the back four are still ragged and need organising. 3 points would virtually see us safe.
