Austin and Zamora will have a field day roughing us up today.
Well if that's true LvG is being silly not having a settled team as best as he can.Smalling isn't injured, he's on the bench.
It's probably proof of how bad things have gotten that our main wish is that players get to play in something even slightly close to their best position.Blind as wingback instead of midfield, Rooney and Mata in midfield and Di Maria up front?
If that's true then it's a comedy.
I can only assume that he meant the formation. In his defence, the immediate reaction to seeing the lineup was "FFS".Mata, Rooney, Di Maria and Falcao... Yeah totally uninspiring! I wish we had Jozy Altidore, Stephen Ireland and David Nugent leading the front. Sigh...
That is something I'm trying to remember but what bothers me is I don't see why we have to do that. Why wait a year for a 352 to work when we can play a formation that suits us now? Is the 352 that good? Then why doesn't everyone play it?Sadly it's probably the case.
However, everyone should keep in mind it took Holland the better part of a year to start looking good in a 352.
Yet he said he was only using it because he didn't have his left sided players, both of which are playing today, so basically more bullshit. What do you mean by move on? This is a board for views, are we all supposed to just sit here like robots agreeing with something that has been awful for months?He may not be but he's clearly sticking with it now that he has more players to work with than during the injury crisis. Just deal with it and move on.
In general, they are awful. They do surprisingly well at home though (8th best home record in the league this season - better than Liverpool, Spurs, Everton). Whether the fact that this pitch is the narrowest and shortest in the league has anything to do with that, I don't honestly know.This is QPR FFS.
An improvement then?Shots on target prediction? Im going for 1.
Yep. Zamora is a wily pro and will bully Evans today.Zamora is the type of player Evans struggles against.
Surely one of our best players.Why do we never start Herrera? A £30 million bench warmer.
As soon as we conceed the first goal...Who wants to take bets on how far into the game before somebody makes the two word post "we're shit" in this thread?
I'll take 16 minutes.
The problem here is the philosophy says you can't plays two right footed CB's together.
Whoever was dropped for him would always be a big money bench warmer. He hasn't been good enough really, I think it's as simple as that.Why do we never start Herrera? A £30 million bench warmer.
Yeah....gonna be a difficult game. We are going to struggle in the air without smalling with Evans struggling against Austin and Zamora. Nothing from our left wingback Blind or Rojo.Not looking forward to this game at all...
That’s right. However, we are changing so many things every single game regarding our wingbacks, defenders, strikers and midfielders that I find it hard to believe we will make it click in the coming months. I would simply go with a formation more familiar to our players. And there’s plenty other reasons not to use 3-5-2 really.Sadly it's probably the case.

I've never felt Carrick has had an issue with mobility, not with the way he plays the game. Besides Blind would be right there next to him to help when needed.I don't think Carrick has the mobility to 'hold' midfield by himself, i feel he's always struggled when given that role. Nor does he have the discipline and willingness to run to provide a constant outlet for the CBs, as Blind does, which keeps us from hoofing.
8 minutesWho wants to take bets on how far into the game before somebody makes the two word post "we're shit" in this thread?

I guess the philosophy also says you must squeeze in as many of your expensive players as possible.
I wouldn't be surprised if you're right but I find it hilarious that we can't play a right footed CB as a LCB but we can have a midfielder as a striker and a forward as a midfielder.
Good point.Whoever was dropped for him would always be a big money bench warmer. He hasn't been good enough really, I think it's as simple as that.
After 8 minutes of passing sideways and back in our own half.8 minutes
I don't think that's the problem.If Shaw is injured then only Blind or Rojo can play LB given that Young is out too. Stop moaning ffs. This place.
He begin to use it against Ecuador, didn't he ?Sadly it's probably the case.

It's a squad game, I am sure Herrera is well aware of that. It is different coming from Bilbao to a massive club like this. Next season he might be in the side and someone else is warming the bench, that is how it is.Good point.
That's asking a lot right now, we've scored 3 total in our last 4We'll win 4-1.
Me too I just stopped trying, i'm wrong every time.I can honestly say I have no idea who's playing where today
