QPR vs City: Post match discussion [Merged]

Just back from the game.
Fair play to QPR, they caused us more problems than any other team this season. We had our usual slow first 20-30 minutes but for probably the first time it carried on for the whole game. We dug deep though to grab the points when not at out best. That's a great sign IMO whoever we were playing.

Collymore is the most clueless ex footballer pundit around, and that is saying something. One comment from him "Did Aguero come on on Wednesday night ? If he did, he didn't look very sharp, and he isn't looking very sharp today either". Idiot.
cleavers not having a slight at you, even I listen to the drivel they talk, just sympathising.
It looked to me like boothroyd pushed Slavic in the back as they took the lead, watch it 3 times now Slavic,s back arched as he was jumping, it was always going to be hard tonight a lot of other blues I spoke to felt the same, as for micha he needs to realise you have to stop pulling into the centre if you are a fullback, he gives the wingers far to much room to cross the ball. Yaya for me was a colossus.
But can they cope when things are not going quite their way,
when they are missing their captain,
when the best players are not quite at it
when the other team get in their faces,
when they have just returned from a hard champs league match,
when they go behind to the first goal,
well can they? can they

I once took the wife, with child and a frozen turkey to QPR 'thats a story for another day' to come and get a result, tonight wasn't a great performance but my god was it a massive result. That was a better result the the one at OT, believe me come May that game tonight was huge.

All these things i heard shot through my head at the final whistle. All the shite they throw at us when we are demolishing teams. Well today was a test and we came through

Not the best game.
Savic not ready for Premiership football quite yet, thankfully Kompany's ban is only the one game.
A game where the last few years we would of come away with absolutely nothing.
if we play like that and win it's a good sign.
today though was like watching our defence under hughes, was appauling.
i cringed on every set-piece, i haven't done that for 2 years now.
not one of the back 4 actually had anything close to a good game.

Passes before 3rd goal

A quality goal. I can`t wait to watch it again. Now we know that Yaya can catually jump!
This season:
Played 11 games in the league. We have won 10 and drawn 1. Our goal difference is +29. We are 5 points clear in the league.
Conclusion: Absolutely fucking brilliant.
to all the people questioning micah's positioning thought he tucked in to cover savic as he was being pulled all over the place with no one back tracking to pick up the fullback left him with no win situation<br /><br />-- Sat Nov 05, 2011 9:20 pm --<br /><br />to all the people questioning micah's positioning thought he tucked in to cover savic as he was being pulled all over the place with no one back tracking to pick up the fullback left him with no win situation
Why is necessarily someone always at fault for a goal? Who was responsible for Yaya's goal? No-one. It was a pinpoint cross, and Yaya rose majestically to power it in.
Their goals were well won too. Let's give them credit for good goals rather than look to apportion blame on Richards or Savic.

After reading that i remembered how annoyed i was about the Fulham, i still am in a way because that game was won and then we threw it away
How fucking petty is that we dropped 2 points all season and i still have the hump over it, lol

I kind of get where you're coming from. Win when you play badly and beat the so-called little teams as well as the big 'uns. Can't honestly say that I agree with you though; the OT result was, sorry to use the word, massive as it sent out a message that we can go toe to toe against the main title candidates.CITY FOR LIFE said:I once took the wife, with child and a frozen turkey to QPR 'thats a story for another day' to come and get a result, tonight wasn't a great performance but my god was it a massive result.

Our left back was okay today. Other than that it was nervy, wasn't it?Freestyler said:Not the best game.

Wondered what Bothroyd has tweeted tonight?!!!!
From a QPR forum;
??? What game was he listening to? Jon Champion, or whatever his name is, sounded like he was going to top himself when Yaya scored.
The commentators for the game were having a right old love in with man city. It was a bit annoying.
