Match Reaction vs QPR

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Definitely. He gets paid millions a year to come out with genius decisions like playing Ramsey from the left

would make sense if thats why we lost, maybe if TV5 had not been so poor and RVP put his sitter away we may have won that game. But AW silly tactic did not help.

The lack of creativity from midfield is another problem. Why is Song the only one attempting to make penetrative passes? He's the defensive midfielder, and although he's capable, this is not meant to be his primary role. This is why I wouldn't be opposed to starting AOC as part of a central 3 from now on.

And the RVP chance wasn't even a sitter tbh. I'm not one of his biggest fans but he had to hit it from outside the area because he lacks the pace to get away from the defender. Apart from that we barely created a chance.

Absolutely shocking performance,poor all over the pitch,no guts desire or balls,looked like a side that thought all they had to do was turn up,QPR wanted it more and it showed.No answer from our master tactican either on how to deal with a pub team.

[Marc Overmars]

It's a desperation move really. He is by trade a striker so he gets thrown on merely because we're losing despite never even coming close to scoring a goal. Stupid that he's the next viable striker, at least Torres is very good as a link man these days.

It's weird, most shit strikers will still score now and then and at least get into good areas for chances (regardless of game time they recieve), Chakma on the other hand is never involved in anything. I'd rather just let Vermaelen go mental and bomb forward if we need a goal rather than bring him on.

I will be staggered if we don't sell this guy in the summer. Such a fraud.

Fair play, still you'd back him to score it.

No he isn't. Try watching sometime.

As bad as some of Wenger's decisions were, the game was lost because of two embarrassing Vermaelen errors, and RVP missing a sitter at the other end. The poor passing, control and all-round sloppiness was not just because Ramsey was playing. It was almost as bad the performance in Milan. The pitch was awful, but that can't be an excuse for failing at all the basics. QPR worked hard, but the goals were gifted.

But yes, starting Ramsey on the left and belated and odd substitutions were classic WUMger. No-one comes out with credit today apart from Koscielny, and perhaps Szczesny for a good save at the end.

Positive results in the next few games and we can consign this to a bad day.

Vermaelan was poor, but he could have done better with some help from Gibbs or Ramsey. As I said previously, out left wing didnt exist today.They were just two players in red shirt but did nothing for over 90 minutes.

I did watch the game and I know what I saw. Arteta is too conservative and Rosicky's more of a ball carrier rather than able to make eye-of-a-needle passes.

Eh? I'm saying Song isn't the defensive midfielder. Hasn't been for ages.
