Can't overstate how poor QPR were today but that was some of the best football we've played all year. This time last season it was unthinkable we'd be able to cope without Yaya in the team he was that pivotal to our play but now i think it's the exact opposite, we can't play with him. The midfield over the last few games has been so much better both offensively and defensively. Partly due to sticking with a 5 man midfield and partly due to not having to carry Yaya during the 85 minutes he decides not to do anything. I know the game was won by the time yaya came on but it's no surprise QPR started to find space in midfield once he replace Fernandinho.
Fernando had a good game, looked settled. not claiming he'll improve enough to warrant a regular place in our midfield next season but there was encouraging signs today and Fernandinho looks better every game he plays without Yaya. he's able to get forward a bit more made some excellent Lampard-esque late supporting runs into the box but wasn't picked out.
I'm so glad Sergio bagged a hat-trick. he could still potentially finish on 30 goals for the season with the form he's in right now, just to really make a mockery of the team of the year choices.
