Everybody is quick to criticise the keeper but never best players for not shooting on target as Lambo + Lallana both blazed chances over, on target and we might have won and nobody would be saying anything about the keeper. Again he did a great save which made up for his mistake, he needs experience and im sure he'll become good.

Said in the paper today that he wants to stay at Spurs

i said before season... 1.Man Utd 2.Man City 3.Chelsea ------------- 4. Everton 5. Arsenal 6. Spurs 7. WBA 8. Fulham 9. Saints 10. Swansea 11. Sunderland 12. West Ham 13. Stoke 14. Newcastle 15. Liverpool 16. Wigan 17. Reading ------------ 18. QPR 19. Norwich 20. Villa

Played very very well from back-front bring on Norwich, Yoshi/Fonte and Gazza were solid today glad NA has kept faith in them.

Harry accepted job, takes control after man utd game http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11711/8273686/Sky-Sports-understands-Harry-Redknapp-has-agreed-QPR-deal-to-succeed-Mark-Hughes As others have already said, bad news for us. QPR were crap but Harry will turn it around so now its gonna be tough, i can see all those games we've been ahead and got nothing could very well come back to haunt us.

Nobody played well against Leeds (he was being played out of position also) and im sure Lee is getting ****ed off that when he was fit players like Guly were getting into the first team before him. I really rate Lee, his movement was outstanding last season, he set up quite a few goals being not greedy and scored a cracker against derby. I have seen him play 3 times and each time i when i was watching him he lost his marker each time, just a pitty we had no-one who was on the same wave length or he'd have been clean through. Barnsley home i seem to remember he skinned 1 defender used pace to get the the bar line, waited til 2 defenders came towards him then he neatly passed the ball to lallana (i think) to score. He would be a better player instead of JRod at this moment, Jrod just needs time and i can really see Lee's movement linking very well with Ramirez.

This is really old news, heard this last week and it's already been sorted from what i heard.

So you have forgotten already the saves he has made?

Said from the start of the season we should be playing him week in week out, he is so much better than Fox, quality ahead of experience always works

Need some pace in the squad today so i'd go with --------------Gazza Clyne--- Fonte--- Yoshida----- Shaw ----------Cork----Morgan-------- -------------Ramirez ----Mayuka ------------Punch --------------Lambo Sorry Adam but it's for the best, we need pace from at least 2 players against QPR as their defence is slow, id have lallana come on in the 2nd half for punch or mayuka though if we're ahead.

The way we play we need at least 2 players with pace, and if that means dropping Lambert and Lallana or Punch and giving players with pace like Mayuka and Lee (if fit) ago to get results i'm all game but the thing is it wont happen because the fans are too fickle and players like lambo and lallana must play at all costs. I dont think AL has had a good season so far, trying to hard cause he's captain maybe, and the lack of pace from lambert is showing now. I'd give the captains armband to Cork ( i've always said the captain should always be a central defender or a defensive mid) and try Mayuka and then try Lee when fully match fit in the side to give us some good movement and pace which we miss. Our front line is ok on paper and will probably always get us 1 goal but we need 2 or 3 more with our defence as it is, like i and many more have said, we need players in the team with pace and movement in which will suit Ramirez's game.

Cortese didnt look happy at all, it could be time to say goodbye to Adkins. Bizarre sub to bring on Fox when Shaw was having a good game, lack of pace upfront showed but no Mayuka

Played well should never of come off, probably played better than Fox has done all season. I think Merson on sky was right to question that sub Adkins made.

Mayuka needs to come on, we lack pace upfront

Best formation for us but have Shaw instead of Fox and maybe Jwp instead of S.Davis and cork should be the holding midfield

Boruc is crap and as some Celtic fans put it "a Clown". Gazza is good, made some good saves to keep us in the game if only we had a good defence half of the goals he has conceded probably wouldn't of been goals. Boruc, well i don't think i've seen him save anything, he's put the defence under more pressure in more than 1 occasion and some of the goals he's conceded has been his fault. Time with Boruc could mean more goals conceded while time with Gazza would give him the experience he needs.

Finally someone gets it, been saying for ages this is the formation we need to be playing although id have Gazza in goal, i dont trust Boruc. Lallana is a little iffy atm for me also, like what other ppl have said, he does not cover enough down the left but maybe he wont have to with the extra CM in there. Davis has been very poor in my eyes for us, jwp gives it all and thats what we need in the middle. I'd take a risky backlash but id drop Lallana and have Mayuka in there to try and get some much needed pace in there.

Yes would be a great catch to get him as manager but if anyone still thinks the 442 formation still works in the premier/europe they need their heads checking. That type of formation is very much like what Brazil often use and i could see us using this type of formation with some success. If we were to use that formation i would prefer Cork/Jwp or even Hammond in that CM role not Davis, he has not convinced me at all as that role would mean he would have to do alot of running and closing down that is not Davis at all.

Great find and read, could be the answer.

lol most of our players will jump ship if we go down

If we play 3 Cm's to stop their midfield i think we might just win but if he continues to play this 4231 with all the attacking players and Jrod out of position, we'll lose.

Tom will be Man Utd bound but Phillips would be a good buy but im not sure where he'd fit in with Ramirez , lallana, lambo upfront and his obsession in playing JRod anywhere just to recoup some money back

Both attacking mids of course have a free role to go wide when they feel. I feel we have too many attacking minded players playing always, lambo and JRod both strikers but only 1 striker spot? lallana, punch and Ramirez or Guly it all weakens the midfield which in turn weakens the defence. Why Jwp? our midfield at the start of the season was far better when Davis was not fully fit.

We're playing more like 4231 which aint working (too many attacking minded players). Can't play both JRod and Lambo. Need to play with 3 CM's atm we have too many attacking midfielder's playing. Don't let Guly anywhere near the team.

Yep great news, great player his movement off the ball is what we're missing atm in the premier and he is a very very good finisher again something we're missing apart from the defence of course. Him and Ramirez would be a great pairing.
