QPR Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[The Scarecrow]

Chadli was easily onside fyi

He was, but Kane might have thought otherwise.

What is going on with Walker at the moment? He is making about 5 terrible decisions per match, and at some point they will cost us big time. When he tried to head the ball back to Lloris and nearly let Austin score as a result, Lloris looked like he might step out and lamp him.

Our defending really really is worrying and I am not sure if it is the result of us lacking a bit of cover from the CM or if it is the defence just being a bit shit.

Nevertheless great result this weekend, we now just have to make it count by beating Utd next week.

Ehm, Walker has always been brainfart-prone, it's just how he is. No cover from midfield would fix that. IMO we need a new RB in the next few windows if we're to push on even further.

Edit: would like to see us try the oh so popular 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation, then walker could be the RWB the 3 cb's would cover. Feel we have the players for it aswell.

Verts, Fazio, Dier.
Walker/rose wingbacks.
Mason/bentaleb/dembele even eriksen or lamela perhaps for the 3 midfield positions.
Eriksen/Lamela or Chadli supporting Kane.

Also pretty sure he didn't say he hasn't complained at all. Just saying about yesterday nothing to complain about, big difference

He was talking about the season as a whole

Didn't you start a thread taking the piss out of Soldado recently? Not quite sure why you're on your high horse over this.

And maybe he has nothing to complain about at the moment. Doesn't mean wasn't right to complain earlier in season, especially with our form. And again, I don't recall him saying he never complains.

Re Walker, I'm going to go out on a limb & support him a bit here as he's played a lot of football since returning from a very serious injury & he had no pre season etc.
I think his performances should pick up now we've only got one game a week & more time on the training pitch etc.
Maybe I'm being optimistic but I'm expecting big improvements from him next season after a full pre season & hopefully with Yedlin (or someone else) providing some competition/rotation.

Walker always had a mistake or two in him, I think quite a few of our defenders have been guilty of that in the past too. The only real mistake that pissed me off with Walker was the back pass at Anfield a few years ago. He never gives up though and puts in a shift which MP likes about him
