Re: QPR,our hardest game so far..

we played on Weds in Spain. They had all week to wind themselves up for a Cup Final

Great win. I expected a point

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.

Was just going to comment about this. We do seem to be being giving a very disproportionate amount of free kicks away and many in dangerous positions. This week and last week we seem to be penalised for the merest contact. Think we better get used to it.
Very average performance by the standards we have set ourselves. Great result. Its good to show we can grind out a result. Sign of champions.

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!

I'm sorry but Savic had anything but a "solid game". He was lucky not to give away a pen; beaten in the air on almost every occasion and was at fault for both their goals.

Good win but lucky to get three points today. Poor performance.

Hope Kompany and Lescott stay fit becuse the thought of Savic or Toure being in the side for long doesnt appeal.

If we come back from Naples and play like that v Liverpool, we wont get 3 points.

I suppose that's you being happy...
 
We will play much better and fail to come away with 3 points and play worse and win more comfortably than we did today.

Overall we lacked the sharpness and ability to defend with the usual poise today.

Despite letting in two goals which he in all fairness could do little about , Hart was MOM for me today and was more instrumental in ensuring we came away with the win albeit a lucky one.

The break comes at a good time as we looked a bit jaded today.

QPR will trouble a few sides at home but unless they buy well they will in the mix for the drop with around 7 other sides.

Their back four is not good enough for the premiership and they will continue to leak goals.

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

Yep a big learning curve for Savic, his postioning was also poor especially their second where he played them onside and the rest of our defence argued with the ref/ linesman that it was offside. Thinking our defence would never be in that postion.
We as as a club learn from these games you dont improve if you roll over everyone in front of you.
 
Not the best performance. But, another win. Job done going into the International Break. Thought Richards had a very poor game today.

Two different scenarios though.

Last week we had a blatently corrupt referee with an agenda.

This week we were passed off the park and chasing the ball, meaning we committed more genuine fouls.
 
well done city, nothing wrong in tonights performance or shall i say what was wrong will be put right, tonight was a league winners typical game, lets move on to newcastle and another 3 pts

Also the best they'll probably play this season, everytime I've watched them up until now they've been extremely poor tbh.

thing is mate,the "smaller" teams will raise their game v the "big" sides ;)

I would almost certainly agree normally mate, but I watched them against a 9 man Chelsea side ( so local pride at stake too) and they were shocking.

100% THIS.

After each game, their are several topics to discuss. You can't talk about them all in one fuck off thread.

In fairness I don't mind most of the mods. But It's just the ones that think they are somebodies because they moderate a fucking internet forum. Get over yourself.

Which part of post match discussion don't you understand ?

Maybe not, but our win today means that not beating Liverpool wont be as much of as disaster if it does happen.
(But it wont imho - Liverpool have the pressure now especially after second draw at home to a promoted side and they will have to come and attack and then we will destroy them)

tight ground and noisey, a lot of teams will struggle down there, great performance from the lads to go on and win the game united have been scraping these results for years, one thing in our favour here is tonights game might send the wrong message out to other managers to take us on

Villarreal was the same tight pitch but we literally COULDN´T give the ball away if we´d tried. Tonight we gave the ball away for fun

QPR pressed, Villarreal sat back in their own box.
 
YaYa - Is the main man . Feared by the opposition. A man mountain. Dzeko had his best game for City too.
 
I know we won, but there is one thing bugging me more than most. And that was Micah tonight.

He was poor, very poor. He was either a winger or a CB, very few times at RB where he should have been.
 
Good win.

Mark of champions when they win despite looking like shadows of their true selves. To be honest I only felt nervous the last couple of minutes. When QPR scored their first I was cool as a cucumber. Never had a doubt. Come half time it was definitely hairdryer time.

For all you Dzeko haters, you really need to get a grip.

The midfield was utter gash today, Silva included. But, that being said, it was nice to see the spirit of the team. To rise and claw their way back into the game.

Savic? He was no Vidic out there, but he is still young. Expecting wonders in a game where the midfield was so poor is a bit of an ask from a 20 year old.

Funny read the match thread. From zero to hero in 2 pages all the time.
