I don't think ESPN's commentators are happy with that result. I don't think it's because they hate City, I just think it's because, like any neutral, you want the smaller teams to do one on the big teams. Some comments were annoying from Champion and Waddle but I guess none of their words matter when we win in the end.

QPR are a spirited bunch and they did play well, but eventually our quality in the final third did produce the goods when QPR fell asleep at the back. QPR have a lot of gusto, but they've not got a lot of quality - which is something we have in abundance. They were disciplined, organised for large parts of the game and never, ever let us settle and get fully into our stride but when we possess players such as Silva, Aguero and Yaya Toure you can't let your guard down for a split second because, as we did today, we will make other teams regret it.

It was a match that the media will love, because QPR were slightly the better team. In fact it's only the second time this season that a team has been willing to get at us, the only other time being Fulham away.

Luckily, Kompany is only out for one game because Savic isn't quite ready for the delights of the Premier League yet. He's getting there, but on one or two occasions he was turned too easily, and there were a couple of moments when his inexperience was on display, but he's slowly getting there.

I thought Aguero deserved a goal today but his time will come again. He was actually one of our better players today, I thought, and he'll be a little disappointed in coming off so early, but he conducted himself well in a hostile ground and got his head down and worked hard.

Silva wasn't his usual self, but he can create moments of absolute genius from nowhere, and that's why he's so important to us. That touch and finish for his goal was world class and pretty much something only he could have done in that position. Like the rest of the team, he found it difficult to discover space in between QPR's midfield and defence, but he knows his way around a pitch. So much so, that you can't keep control of him forever.

I'm glad nobody supported Kolarov on that left wing, because that cross never would have come in for Yaya's header, and what a header it was! Rising high, heading in, scoring goals; that's what we like to see from Yaya!

A dogged performance, but we can't have played that badly if we managed to score three. Dzeko took his goal brilliantly, Silva finished beautifully, and Yaya powered home and filled us with relief. It was a shock to the system this afternoon, but thankfully it was a winning one.

Re: QPR vs City: Post match discussion

savic didnt have the best of games but losing headers wasnt the big problem, the big problem was where he was losing them - we defended way to deep meaning every header they won was in and around our box - should have pressed game higher up the pitch

having said all that - phew!!

and there must have been 25 passes before the third goal

aguero a bit disappointing. selfish at far too many occasions.

Oh don't say that. You'll upset us :-(
 
Last Week
City awarded 5 fouls Wolves 17

Now
QPR awarded 14 fouls City 5

Bit worrying how refs are not giving us free kicks but awarding them to the opposition like they are going out of fashion. 1st goal today was a joke free kick, player tripped himself up.

Honestly thought that performance by Micah,was the worst i have seen him play in a long long time.
That second half he was anywhere but playing full back.
Mind he wasn`t alone in poor performances,but this is the type of game Hansen spoke about last week,when put under pressure.
Not at our best but a wins a win.

Agreed, thought Micah struggled, 100% effort but nothing in the footballing brain department, our main weak leak definitely in the air. Didn't seem to get out of second gear, great result though!
 
Savic had a good solid game, ESPECIALLY for a Premier League debut in a tight game!

Helguson uses his "Shearer" technique of get up early and ride the defender, which is VERY hard to deal with. Additionally, we play this BS "zonal marking" from dead balls, which gives the ATTACKER a running start on our standing jump defenders, which is a GREAT advantage to the attacker. Fix THAT and we MIGHT look a tad tidier from dead balls.

Oh, and could we practice ONE THROW-IN........PLEASE?!!

M.O.M. = James Milner!
