****OMT-Tottenham v QPR******

[Roy1983]

first brick defoe shot of the afternoon.

Don't keep count ffs.

 

[metalgear]

We look nervous.... Not connecting well...

 

[The Moonlit Knight]

Walker is struggling. QPR starting to turn the screw. Save by Friedel at his near post, but our defence looks shaky.

 

[metalgear]

Qpr are piling a lot of bodies forwards.

 

[Armchair Expert]

does anyone else think that the truth might be that we arent any better than QPR? This is going to be a hard game. Hard and very even i recon.

 

[SpurMeUp]

We're not able to play the ball out of defense and concede possession too easily.

I hope not because QPR have been awful up until now. This is the best I've seen them this season.

Doesnt every team have 'their best game of the season (TM)' when they play us?

 

[Rorschach]

Our midfield have not started the game well. They need to work harder and recycle possession or we're fooked. QPR are getting a free run at the backline.

 

[Greenfrog]

I miss Corluka, Walker seems very shaky when defending.

 

[The Moonlit Knight]

Walker looking better going forward.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Lacking 3 things: confidence, fluency, and a leader in central midfield

What ironic applause? commentator is brick.

Dempsey anonymous.
pace seems slower than usual.

Even after the other commentator pointed out why sandro was applauding the good decision! tool!

were certainly lacking a midfield

 

[The Moonlit Knight]

Dempsey anonymous.

He isn't a wide inside forward IMHO. I've said from the moment he signed that the only position I have seen him well on a regular basis is up front as a striker. And he isn't as good in that role as Ade or Defoe.

 

[The Moonlit Knight]

were certainly lacking a midfield

Considering we are playing a 5 man midfield vs their 4 it is a little worrying!

 

[SpurMeUp]

were certainly lacking a midfield

A player who wants the ball. Dembele has the ability but not fully confident to turn when he receives the ball. THey don't look like they are confident in their ability. Too much hesitancy. They don't look a confident unit.

Arrived late.
a) Are we playing the usual 4-2-3-1.
b) Are we doing the, now becoming depressingly familiar, knocking the ball from side to side to side and then back to the goalkeeper...
