QPR v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[tomd2103]

I thought Sanchez was different class, did very well apart from a couple of occasions where he gave the ball away cheaply, sadly getting the ultimate punishment for one of them

nothing else to say

He did some really good things last night, but also looked capable of doing something atrocious at any given moment.

Vlaar was not great but the first goal was down to Clark, Zamora had his back to goal and did not score, he gave the ball to his team mate in acres of space as Clark, inexplicably had run away like a school girl being menaced by a tramp.

The pressure on Austin should have come from Westwood, but the goal comes because Bobby fucking Zamora, without having to get off the ground, eases "World Cup Legend" Ron Vlaar out, far, far too easily. Vlaar should have been lynched.

Watch the replay, Zamora does not score.

I watched it from 20 yards away.

 Ron fucking blancmange Vlaar wants lynching, the useless fucking c***. To be eased out by a journeymen so easily was a disgrace. Vlaar could remonstrate with Westwood all he wants, but it was his job, as captain and "leader" to deal with the supply to Austin and cut out an aimless punt. He couldn't, the overrated twat.

Get over yourself. Tell me what defender can stop an forward allowing the ball to hit his chest-Zamora didn't direct it-it could have gone anywhere as he was pressured by Vlaar!

You know, I actually like Gabby and Weimann and what they are capable of doing, along with Benteke we've three very useful players.

The problem is that they have no idea of how to play together. None. There is no link-up play, not positional sense, no togetherness. They are all capable of good things but they don't seem to know what they are each doing.

Just look at what Zamora and Austin combined for their goal, we didn't have a sniff.

And don't get me started on the 'Vlaar drifting out to the right before hoofing a 60 yard cross-field long ball at Benteke to get on the end of with no fucker anywhere near close enough to pick it up' tactic. I call it a tactic only because for it to happen that often it must be.

5) He holds loads of unwanted records that most managers would have been sacked for ages ago.

Oh my life, don't tell me he's into jazz as well? I can forgive Bradford but that's just one step too far.

Trad jazz, no doubt.

Which ultimately he did. It's going to take him 6 months to adjust to this league. Flashes of class coupled with a few smatterings of Sunday league pub player.

Watching Cleverley, and it's something I haven't noticed before he had a bizarre way of trying to cross the ball. Its something I've only seen once before. instead of using his arms for balance to ensure timing when trying to cross the ball, he used his head. His head would dip, just as if playing Striker from a few years ago, rather than relying on his arms for balance. its why twice in the first half the ball didn't get off the ground and why hos closes were never a danger. I certainly hope that's not his usual way of trying to cross as is a huge technical flaw and something that should only be seen at  pub team level.

I only saw the second half but aren't people being a bit too kind to Sanchez? We've got some folks wanting to lynch Vlaar or Clark or Westwood for the first goal but the one thing that is not in dispute is the second goal was entirely Sanchez's fault. Never mind six months we need players who are at least competent now.

[peter w]

Well he gave the ball away on half way. for that to end up being 2-0 means one or 2 more can be looked at. he certainly didn't help but he was the best player on the pitch until a couple of minutes madness.

Completely disagree. Yes he made the mistake for the 2nd but was head and shoulders our best player on the night. It was no surprise that all the QPR fans in the office were saying they wished they had him and all said he pretty much ran the game.

My biggest gripe with last night was Gabby and Weimann. Neither has the technical capability to play in a 4-3-3 or as someone else said lack the nous or game awareness to realise how to work as a unit with Benteke is woeful.  Then again that's Lamberts fault for continuing with something that's been shown to fail again and again and again.....

I was still shaken and angry this morning when I boarded the car at 6am for work so I decided to listen to talksport Alan Brazil and the rugby player who's name escapes me . They had Emile H on the phone and later Andy gray from Doha. Both were fairly scathing , Brazil was his usual erratic patchy self. What I found odd was not one person mentioned lambert and his job security . Odd.
