QPR Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Mr Pink]

Our pitch and QPR's are almost exactly the same size

Surprised by that...Loftus Road just feels smaller. Probably because the crowd our closer.

 

[MetalFace D]

Great! What does that mean?

whoops meant to type worldy* Which means to score a world class goal.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Nervous about today to be honest typical sort of game lose or play awful in

 

[kaz Hirai]

Typically this is the kinda game were at best we scrape a draw.

If we win, and win well would really be impressive. But I suspect stunning save after stunning save from Hugo today and us maybe getting a flukey point.

Our Defence is just too wacky

I had an awful nightmare that lloris was hurt in warmups, as was kane and eriksen and ade started. Please help. Im scared.

 

[Mr Pink]

QPR will start hard but I expect our superior fitness to count in the end.

Must not concede early.

Ummmmmm why was Rose dropped

 

[carpediem991]

Davies only change.

Interesting we don't use Lamela/ Dembele despite lots of games lately.

 

[Chris12]

Ummmmmm why was Rose dropped

Think he came off injured in the last match

 

[Mr Pink]

Not surprised he's gone with the same team, bar Davies for Rose, but Jesus this was a game for Dembele if ever there was one.

 

[Chris12]

Bar Davies, same team for past 3 matches. Does he hate rotation?

 

[theShiznit]

Think he came off injured in the last match

If he's fit enough for the bench he should be fit enough for the whole match.

 

[Lilbaz]

Ummmmmm why was Rose dropped

Probably knackered.

 

[Shea]

Davies only change.

Interesting we don't use Lamela/ Dembele despite lots of games lately.

A game we need to win and I suppose Poch wants to play what he considers his strongest team

Hopefully we can put the game to bed relatively early and rest a few key players before the end - expecting a tough away day mind

 

[Chris12]

If he's fit enough for the bench he should be fit enough for the whole match.

Unfortunately I don't agree with that. If he can play 40 minutes or so, why not put him on bench? We do have a lack of back up for LB, maybe Verts there at a push

 

[theShiznit]

Bar Davies, same team for past 3 matches. Does he hate rotation?

AFAIAC with no other distractions now he should play what he considers to be his best team for the rest of the season.
Only need for rotation was when other teams held an advantage through having more rest time, which is not the case today.

To be fair, Ade would probably do better in goal than Kane did...

 

[Maxtremist]

I'd have to assume that Townsend and Chadli scoring last time made it difficult to drop any of them for Dembele or Lamela

Happy with the team. Rose has been great but I think him coming off vs Swansea was a little more than just giving him a break

But it's unclear as to what his strongest team is and I don't think he knows it either.
