Queens Park Rangers v AFC Bournemouth - 3rd Round FA Cup

Not at half time I didn't. The people that thought we would turn the game around at half are in a distinct minority. The ones that stated we would are bare faced liars as there was no evidence in the first half to prove this.

AI is a masterclass at changing things when they need to be changed, so well done to him.

Did you feel daft at full time?

 

[Reality and Realism]

Aw look at little R+R revelling in us losing. Let him have his moment.

So, did you see us posing a threat to them in the first half? Secondly, did we look like scoring in the first half? The answer to both questions is No! and as well you know it

 

[Cherriess]

Only 2 recognised defenders.

Maybe Andoni is genuinely seeing if Lew is a centre back option.

 

[redharry]

Yes I would at full time as AI's tacticle nouse got us out of a very deep hole indeed and full credit to him. At half time I was absolutely correct.

What a ridiculous statement , correct at half time!!!!!!! Do you realise how stupid that sounds.

 

[Reality and Realism]

Did you feel daft at full time?

No, I was just in awe at AI's inspired substitututions and change of shape and tactics of which is high testimony to him.

 

[Cherriess]

Worrying to see Brooks given a chance to impress the manager and just stands around, he really isn't the type of player AI wants.

He needs a loan, so he can improve his match fitness.

 

[Cherriess]

Maidstone at home ?

Great story for Maidstone getting to next round.

 

[JohnHold]

Wouldn't want Armstrong. Can't even knee slide without getting injured.

 

[Cherriess]

I would love to know what was said at halftime. I don't get the impression that Andoni is one to be irate (lol) but today I wonder. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Christie had something to say, either.

If you look at the afcb site photos, he looks furious.

Not at the end, though

 

[Cherriess]

A little off topic but I haven’t seen it discussed, I initially felt a little sad at the abuse Bego was getting from our fans. Then he did some shithousery with a spare ball on the pitch to try and disrupt our attack, he knew what he was doing, and from then I stopped feeling sad.

Bego shouldn't receive abuse. On the whole, he did well for us. If he's time wasting for his current side, no big deal. He's been told to do that.

More important than Solanke?

Yes imo. We don’t have a forward of Solanke’s quality and we would suffer for it, but we would still be able to function cohesively as a team with Semenyo or Kluivert up top. Without Christie we just can’t function.

 

[Johnny Comelately]

Wouldn't want Armstrong. Can't even knee slide without getting injured.

That was funny.

 

[Vlad_The_Impaler]

When Skynet goes self aware our fans will be there arguing with it.

 

[Cherriess]

Yes imo. We don’t have a forward of Solanke’s quality and we would suffer for it, but we would still be able to function cohesively as a team with Semenyo or Kluivert up top. Without Christie we just can’t function.

Yep and that's a potential 0problem. The club and Andoni will be thinking they need to be one step ahead of potential injury I reckon.

 

[Neil Dawson]

Yes imo. We don’t have a forward of Solanke’s quality and we would suffer for it, but we would still be able to function cohesively as a team with Semenyo or Kluivert up top. Without Christie we just can’t function.

Interesting. Personally don’t agree as I think had Solanke started we wouldn’t have needed to bring Christie on. To me Dom is the most important player in our side but it’s all about opinions and Christie certainly helped transform the game today and has been incredible in his new role.

 

[Fox27]

Maybe we should make an offer for Armstrong? He's a big unit and seemed a real handful.

That was his first goal since August apparently?

Was that when the two balls were close together and Tavernier kicked one off the pitch then carried on running with the other ball?

Kris T mentioned it during his commentary.

As an aside Tavernier was given MOM with 9.3 on whoscored with Moore second with 8.

do you mean excluding moores effort?
