Match Thread Queens Park Rangers v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Street end man]

Holgate just a wannabee hard man. Not a good footballer.

It must be horrible for him now being bummed,bullied and outplayed by Charlie

 

[bullybeef]

Everton getting outplayed by a lower league run of the mill football club in the league cup.

Such a regular event, you can set your watch by it.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Everyone rotates in the league cup even QPR have brought in 5 squad players.

But Benitez is the devil for resting a few due to being hammered by key injuries at present.

As I keep saying stop taking Brands failure out on the manager - if he did his job these past few summers the squad wouldn't be so crap Benitez has been here 5 minutes.

There isn't one scapegoat. Focus on Brands if it makes you feel better but this club is poorly run from Moshiri through DBB through Brands and right down to the manager at least up until Carlo left.

 

[Carloblues]

to summarise

we have defenders who cannot defend
midfielders who cannot pass
and rondon who cannot do literally anything

great teams lads

 

[blueconverse]

Jon Joe or Cuco?

 

[f.t.r.s]

Shambolic first half....
Kenny dog turd as per usual..
Gomes wasteful
Iwobi pathetic
Rondon.....rondoff please..
And can the people hanging off Godfrey's end give it up now please, nowhere near ready to starting at centre back...Austin was laughing at the attempt to stop him scoring

 

[messymascot]

We're losing. 3-1 or 4-1 is no different than 2-1.

If we stay at 2-1 until the last 20 then go all out. At the minute they are a threat every time they go forward. I don't trust Keane on the ground but at least he is better in the air. Iwobi has been awful so off he should come plus we will probably need him for Saturday.

 

[johnjoeefc]

We're not in Europe.

We won't achieve anything in the league - 7th-14th.

Why he's starting that 11 is beyond me.

There's four players on the bench who, if he starts, we win it.

If we go out tonight, and we will with that 11 - it's entirely on the manager.

Arrogant.

I'm not just disagreeing because I'm pro benitez but our squad is thin with injuries and the game against Norwich is certainly more important to the club. It would be detrimental to play our best 11 in both games.

He's still got options to bring off the bench to turn it around if need be.

 

[longers]

Entertaining game tbh, league cup is usually dross

 

[ToffeeTim]

Our defending was pathetic in that half. Truly pathetic

 

[atypicalusername]

We should have scored 2 or 3 here. Iwobis sitter and Gordon getting a great save from QPR's keeper. 45 minutes. I still believe COYB!

 

[Zeitgeist]

Kenny and Rondon might as well not be on the pitch

Yet to see anything from Gordon that lives up to his promise.

 

[Azza]

Jon Joe or Cuco?

Hibbo

 

[Theoneandonly]

Keane, Allan, Gray, Doucoure why the hell are this lot on the bench and not playing?

Because we have a game in a few days which is more important.

 

[MikeH72]

Andre Gomes has found his level.
