I'd personally start with Jimmy. Maybe chuck Sinclair in there the last 15-20 minutes or so if we're dominating play.
 
Hart

Zaba Nastasic Lescott Clichy

Milner Garcia Barry

Silva Dzeko Aguero

4-3-3 which can go 4-5-1 do have a feeling Mancini may go 3-5-2

Players will know they cant afford any slips so I think we'll get the job done even without Kompany.

I would play Nasri instead of Milner and Aguero instead of tevez.
 
He might play Garcia CB again. I would think it will be him and Lescott again at rhe back. (unless Nasty is still out)
 
The main consideration here has to be Remy's pace. We're not blessed wth quick defenders, so the key will be to make QPR punt it high and long, and close down their ball players quickly to cut out the trough balls. Redknapp will ask for the ball to go to the corners for Remy to chase too I bet, which is why I would prefer to steer away from three at the back.

Almost the same team as Stoke for me, just Hart in for Pantyman and Aguero for Tevez, Clichy at left back as his pace will be useful. I dislike having two left footed CBs, but not as much as I dislike the thought of taking Garcia out of midfield currently. Though it could be done, Narsi wide and Jimmy centre.

They are in a mess at the back currently, so an early goal should set us well on our way.
 
Nastastic has knee prob inflamed etc according to Stu brennen of MEN

I thing we should have Lescott again in defence if Nasty is not able to play.

Team

Hart

Zab Garcia Lescott Clichy

Milner Barry

Nasri Ageruo ( if too soon to start Tevez) Silva

Dzeko!

Subs: Panty, Sinclair, Kolarov, Rodwell, Rekik, Balotelli (?)<br /><br />-- Mon Jan 28, 2013 11:31 am --<br /><br />

+ 1 agree with you on Remy bit ..are midfield have to work very hard to stop them creating chances.
 
If we can get away without changing the midfield great as we have dominated in there the past few games. Garcia looks like he is starting to grow into that position and Barry is playing great at the moment. Milner gives us that extra hard work in there as well which allows Merlin etc... to play their games.
If Natty is still unfit, can see RM going Zabba, Lescott and Clichy as a back 3 but for me drop Garcia in at CB if needed and keep same shape.
Would start Sergio instead of Dzeko, their defence isn't the quickest and he and Tevez might be better equiped to play against them than Dzeko, more pace and getting in behind them.
Whoever plays shuold be more than a match for them but we said that against Sunderland and looked what happened!
 
I expect to see something like:

Considering the Beeb is reporting Nasty has a crocked knee, Micah is still obviously not back and Vinny is out.

I'd really rather see Sinclair than Nasri; if we're ever going to play him, then against the basket case that is QPR is the time.

Alternatively, give someone like Lopes or Suarez a run out.
 
My first trip to QPR. In view of the reported traffic problems near the ground, I'm thinking of driving to a tube station a few miles north of the ground and leaving the car there. Anyone know which tube stations would be best, decent sized car park, easy to get back to after the game?

Thanks
 
I don't think Garcia and Lescott at the back will be a problem.

I'd definitely start Aguero as well, with Nelson and Hill in their defence, his acceleration should be a huge problem for them.

Not a bad idea that ......

here's your closest tube stations to the ground ...

_______________________________________

How To Get There By Train/Tube

The nearest London Underground station is White City on the Central Line, which is about a five minute walk away. Also nearby (a little further along Wood Lane opposite the BBC Television Centre) is the recently opened Wood Lane Station, which is on the Hammersmith & City line. It is around a seven minute walk away from Loftus Road.

Otherwise there are two other tube stations close by; Shepherds Bush Market on the Hammersmith & City line and Shepherds Bush on the Central Line. The former is about a ten minute walk away from the ground, whilst the other is about 15 minutes. Personally I tend to use Shepherds Bush Market tube station, simply because there seems to be more pubs around this area, especially around Shepherds Bush Green. Leaving both Shepherds Bush tube stations; turn right and the ground will come into view further down on the right. Please note that Queens Park tube station is nowhere near the ground!

The nearest train station is Shepherds Bush, which is adjacent to the tube station. However, it is not directly served by any of the major London mainline stations. However trains from Watford Junction and Clapham Junction both stop there.
 
Just need to keep winning with the rags playing Wednesday


Hart
Zabba
Garcia
Lescott
Clichy
Nasri
Milner
Barry
Silva
Sergio
Tevez/Dzeko
 
If Nastasic is out I guess it is Garcia next to Lescott at CB. Barry and Milner in central midfield and Nasri taking Milner's spot as an AM. Should still be able to beat QPR. We will most likely dominate possession anyways.
