Christ, I want that 90mins back.
QPR pulled all the men behind the ball, defended stoutly, and had a couple of chances, mostly made by the guile and directness of wright-phillips. Taarabt was dangerous when he had the ball at his feet, held it up well, but he just wasn't doing it in the final third, always apt to over play, and try a trick or two, too many..
We looked more dangerous second half, pushed forward quicker, tried to harry them, but not enough intelligence and cunning in the final third, no one playing that killer ball, went close with a couple of free kicks, we looked the most likely to score, but we need a bit more up front. Got bogged down, with short passes on the edge of the box, but nothing setting a man free inside it..
Bale had a quiet game, free kick apart.
Not sure whether we were keeping powder dry for Utd, or just had an off day at the office. We need a couple more attacking options for sure. Dembele just wasn't far enough forward to do damage and though he got forward more later in the second half Parker spent too much time taking the ball off the center halves, whats the point in that, when QPR are camped deep in their half, let Vertonghen bring it out, commit someone, and create some space...
Still third, doubt we'll be there after Chelsea's match finishes...
