Taking the conditions into account, I thought we were guilty of overplaying it a little bit. Their defence was poor, so an early ball over the top was as effective as trying to pass the ball through them.
It seemed we were trying to play like we do with Silva, but without Silva being there to execute the game plan. I just wish we would have stuck a few more low crosses from out wide across the 6 yard box. Missed Kolarov in that respect tonight. Amazed Zabba didn't get the nod as he's more likely to overlap than Sagna.
Milner should have been on for the start when we knew they were gonna be in our faces. Nasri could have come on for one of the holding midfielders when QPR were flagging a bit in the second half.
Need to find our best back 4 and stick with it. Sergio was awesome again.
Zaba needs a rest. He was not only physically tired, ball watching in the centre with VK & Fernando? on a 5 on 5, but had a brain fart (mental fatigue) in letting Doumbia slip by him on his side for CSKA 2nd goal.
