Sandro was the only one worthy of a mention here.

QPR standard. 1 goal from a cross this season. No assists. Another player we are carrying in matches.

Easily the most disappointing. Can't remember the last time I went into a season with so much optimism.

Most of us did I think. I never thought that I'd be wondering whether we'd be doing any better under AVB.

I think Townsend is one of a few players we have that could do with a manager telling them what they want from them and how to do it.

That is being done now, by Sherwood's assistant.

I know a cockerel has no teeth but why do we continue to take that literally in the final third of the pitch

True. You never know, we might close the 7 point gap between us and City and they might lose their 3 games in hand & ship in 40 odd goals in the process. Or Liverpool and/or Arsenal might drop 9 points and lose their games in hand. We're fighting for prize money that comes with 5th.

Was Soldado havin a laugh with that ''finish'' early on in the game????

That being said, we have actually done a lot better than I thought we would, Bentaleb has been superb

Soldado - come on, you can do better than that

I really want this guy to come good, he's a talented, likeable guy. But seriously, what the hell is going on?

You could see he was brimming with confidence after being dropped for every game since he scored against Cardiff when he took that shot...

If we want to win this, Townsend off Eriksen on.

If we don't, sub everyone else who's remotely playing well.

I actually find it hard to blame any of the players. Sherwood has ruined our season. It's not even his fault though, criminally under experienced for this role.

He wanted it, though.

Without bashing Townsend, you only have to compare Lallana to him this season to realise he is very average. But then as said, poor coaching hasn't probably helped.

Not going to be popular, but Chadders has played alright in my opinion.

Anyone play FIFA where your players confidence is on the floor, and they feel heavy to control?

That's Soldado right now.
