Yes they were robbed. The problem is it was a great spirited performance that is bound to give them confidence for their next game.....
It's almost the worst way it could have worked out. A heartening performance. Desperately unlucky with two of the goals. Could have been 2-3 up in the first half.
A point or 3 might have seen QPR slip off the gas a little with us. But now they're absolutely desperate for 3 points and I'm sure will be looking to come out quickly next week.
They'll be well up for it, so we'd better raise our game, and most importantly, not sit back and invite pressure.

We surely can create chances against them though even playing our usual plodding way as their back 4 dosen't have a lot of pace. Will probably bring Weimann back in and hope our front three can actually do something.

I'd be tempted to go 2 up front and play Weimann up with Benteke. The Beast needs help, those two in the past have linked well in games, and Andi is better through the middle.
2 up front has come back into fashion now and I think if Lambert continues to play very narrow, we're better off adopting a diamond in midfield. It'll force us to play a few more triangles and get a bit more movement and we can also put someone at the tip, perhaps Cole or Grealish and give them a bit of freedom to express themselves.

Alternatively they'll see it a huge kick in the knackers, and wonder what they've got to do get a point.

Everything you've said is exactly what you'd expect Redknapp to tell them, but you wouldn't be surprised if deep down they're not thoroughly dispirited after equalizing twice in the last 5 minutes and still getting chuff all.  Especially as they lost to 2 own goals and a massive deflection.

A last minute defeat when they deserved more from what was probably their best performance of the season will be far more soul destroying than if Racist FC had just strolled to a routine 3-0 win.

Qpr at least look as if they have a bit of spirit about them, unlike us.

And to cap it all they've just highlighted an example form our game yesterday to underline their shitness from a quick free kick!!

What did we show when we actually beat Liverpool?

QPR are also bottom, so they're not exactly known for showing much spirit. Or quality.

Have to say that Harry Redknapp absolutely laying into Taarabt for being three stone over weight was quite funny. Completely unprofessional but funny (as it's not happening at my club).
I don't think Arry's got long left at Rangers. He's always been outspoken but has he ever been quite so direct and critical of one specific player?

Hopefully we can get him the sack next week. But we'll have to up the bloody gears.

surely it's redknapp's responsibility to grab taarabt by the bollocks and sort him out? get his diet and training regime sorted out and if he refuses, fine him.

he is the manager after all.

You'd think so but then Redknapp likes to look hard done by. It's easier to be hard done by if your most technically able player is sat on his big arse collecting 70 grand a week for doing nothing.

It's funny, as watching the line-ups on MOTD2 there is a fair few QPR players that you'd take thinking they'd improve our squad....Caulker, Onuoha, Sandro, fer, Austin maybe yet has has them looking like a poor team.  I still stand by my view that onl yone thing will happen on Monday though......
