QPR Post Match How Lucky Can You Get Thread...

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

We either need a complete new back 4+goalkeeper or coaches who know what the **** they're doing because something has to give.

Coutinho changed the game when he came on! Allen was unnoticed but our midfield got to grips when he was on too.

Balotelli.. I have no words really.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said his side did not deserve their thrilling victory over QPR.

QPR spurned several clear chances before four goals in the last nine minutes, culminating in Steven Caulker's own goal, gave the Reds a 3-2 victory at Loftus Road.


Rodgers said: "QPR certainly did not deserve to lose. We were lucky to win, but we showed tremendous character.

"QPR definitely deserved something from the game. Overall, we were fortunate."
The Northern Irishman said his side had "no rhythm" in the first half and "there was no speed in the game".

He added: "Joe Allen and Philippe Coutinho coming on gave us a technical lift and we started to create more.

"Raheem Sterling was outstanding in his running and in his desire."

Those last five minutes were bat **** mental, and we robbed those three points. I wasn't convinced Balotelli was what we needed when he signed and am even less convinced now. He had plenty of chances today and ****ed them all up.

I agree he's not well suited to our style of play but look who was on hand to put away two tap ins if the defenders missed the own goals.

He'd have put them over like his first tap in chance.

I'm sorry but Balotelli is not cutting it for me. In the first half he got a whack on the head and just stood there motionless rubbing his head for about 20 seconds probably, they almost scored then. I know that wasn't directly his fault but I hate when players stop like that, he also has a shot blocked in the second half and just stopped.

Wanted him off from half time.

A now usual performance - make the opposition look good by standing off and allowing them time and space, and look rushed and unprepared in possession when we are being pressed and closed down.

A vital three points, though.

we only score when he's not involved - when he is, they get the ball back one way or another. This, breaking down our attacks, means we're not scoring as many or dominating possession like we did - also opponents aren't waiting (or having to wait) until the second half when they are 3-0 down before they start attacking us like last year hen we would then collapse and rally to win 5-3... they're coming straight out and making us panic straight away

Need to get Carra out of retirement

[Vermilion]

Enjoyed that, well, the last part anyway.

Was worth it just to see Arry's face when Sterling passed it into Caulkers run for the winning goal.

We are hanging in there at the mo, and i know damn well we can play far better.

Mario had a poor miss but it's also obvious that he needs a strike partner and is more effective as a second striker.

He's a number 2 alright

These are the type of wins we'll have to settle for until Sturridge is back sadly - Ugly, ground out wins.

Our defence is still as bad as it was when Brendan took over and last season we relied heavily on Luis Suarez to get us out of trouble. The blame was places on individual players with Daniel agger and martin skrtel coming in for a lot of criticism. We have changed 3 of the back four and our defence is still as porous as it was.

There has to come a time when we stop looking at individual players and blaming individual mistakes and we look to the manager. I hate saying this but how much last season was down to the brilliance of 2 forwards especially Suarez and how much was down to Brendan Rodgers managerial ability.

Were still around the top four but i have some doubts about Brendan.

This waiting for a strike partner thing is starting to get a bit tired. He's an international striker, he should be able to adapt to playing against QPR. Also, the poor judgement and inability to play as part of a team isn't going to change just because Sturridge is there to help him.

It's true though. Owen and Fowler were ****e on their own too..albeit for different reasons (couldn't hold ball up and lack of pace and respectively). Got to blame the manager for persisting with it.

Comical defending and no shape to our attacking play. Got to give borini a run if there's no one else, can't keep going like this it's the same every week.
