TheGuv Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 The shape of the team today was baffling. At times we had Jonas and HBA on the right for huge chunks, Best on the left. Jonas wandering around, Colo ending up on the right. It was awful to watch. A win's a win i suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We seriously need some additions, not sure if it's upfront or midfield but a bit of pace would be nice. I actually thought Shola was okay, I'm a big critic but he did a good job of holding the ball up and retaining. He's never going to be a dynamic threat but we gave the ball away frequently and he did a good job of retaining ball and calming things down - not particularly inspiring but has its purpose. As I say, with Cabaye out, the team is on its last legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I enjoyed ESPN's David Pleat's slightly pervy sounding comment of Jonas 'has a big heart and a fiiiine set of lungs' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wally_McFool Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Krul -7 Simpson - 6 Colo - 8 Usual captains performance from Colo Williamson - 7 Santon - 8 Staring to be well impressed with this kid Guthrie - 8 Excellent performonce Cabaye - 7 Taylor - 6 Jonas - 8 Shades Guthrie & Santon for MoM for me. Best - 7 Shola - 6 IMO carrying a knock. Felt a bit sorry for him today. Ben Arfa - 7 Perch - 6 Gosling 6 Wilkins - 1 Annoyng cockney bastard. http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/file.php?40,file=26204,filename=stfu.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMcQuillan Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Think plaudits have to be given to Ryan Taylor. He had to play CM with Guthrie and did a fine job, just holding his position and ticking things over. Obviously, Santon, Jonas and Guthrie were all great too, and Besty had a decent game.

Mr Logic Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Shola is often good at receiving the ball and keeping possession in a deep position. In todays game that's all he was useful for. Someone like Bellamy would have been 10 times more effective as an outlet. edit: Sorry, should be in the Shola thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see us winning against better teams than QPR if we have too many games with Ryan Taylor in midfield. Not saying he did badly, but just about all the premier teams have better players in the midfield. We can only carry so many passengers IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBG Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Krul 7 Simpson 6 Williamson 7 Coloccini 8 Santon 8 Raylor 7 Cabaye n/a Guthrie 8 Jonas 6.5 Best 7.5 Shola 6 Ben Arfa 7 Perch 6 Gosling 6 Comfortable win, we never really had to do much as QPR had zero cutting edge throughout and generally looked like a poor Championship team. Santon was very impressive, Guthrie was composed and efficient in possession and Ben Arfa looked very bright when he came on. The goal should give Best a lot of confidence, but we desperately need another striker in the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Poor game poor atmosphere feeezing fkn cold, Cabaye injured but we won it and that is what counts. Strange 2nd half tactics from Pards, why settle for 1-0 vs a very poor side who were there for the taking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Shola 6 I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Shola was OK. Not good by any means, but he did the target man shit well, and that's something I don't often rate him for, given he should win so much more in the air with his height. I thought the ball stuck to him well, and he got rid of the ball to one of the attacking midfielders. He still failed miserably when he tried to do anything on the ball, and didn't chase anyone down, so he's definitely no higher than a 6, but I don't agree with the 3s etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Bit puzzled by why he seemed to try and shut up shop myself. He did it too early for my liking. 72 mins or something I believe. Could've waited another 10 minutes and then did it, if he was insistent upon doing so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
