He probably should have been sent off for the foul a few minutes before. But yeah, that's not a foul, that's Bosingwa kicking Pienaar and then falling down.

Pienaar shouldn't have been on the pitch though, Moyes needs to take him off once the blind mouse read him the riot act.

all round poor performance from the team except jags.
the snack bar at loftus road was good.

This too. Both our fullbacks were entirely poor both defending and with the ball. Center of midfield was non-existent, forwards un-inventive and lacking service. Lucky to get a point, probably the worst we've looked all season.

i thought moyes was poor as well, he didnt know how to influence the game.
Moyes still showing his tactical limitation, 10 years on.

Disagree with his overall tactical ability, he's normally on. Taking Pienaar from the wing was terrible though and something we never really recovered from. This would have been the match where you either sit Osman or push him forward, and put Heitinga in the center of midfield (even though he's fairly poo there).

Jagielka was awesome. Get him on Suarez on Sunday. He's back to his best it'd seem.

 

[Slavan]

no he is not normally on, he is normally negative.

in all fairness to moyes, its the first game in ages he hasnt be predictable, but sadly for him, he got it badly wrong.

this.

shame its taken him nearly 2 years, but it does appear he is finally back to his best.

 

[Azzurri]

I see Garth Crooks team of the week doesn't contain Jagielka or Howard. Knobhead.

He's a complete and utter tvvat. Jagielka has got to be in there, surely.

that's really poor, bosingwa knew what he was doing. don't want to sound kopiteish but he did, i think he glanced behind just before it, but he clearly sticks his leg onto pienaar to make it look like a foul. The worst part of it is that this was right in front of the linesman, surely he could see from his angle that the ref's decision should be overuled. I watched this and the sland vs newc match and there were some very baffling decisions regarding corners. osman did one as well where his body language told he conceded the corner and yet the ref/lino gave a goal kick.

The FA serioulsy need to overturn it and have a look at their rules because they are scandelous. Moyes has to make a statement though, because if they let the ban go ahead then they are agreeing with bosingwa's actions that cheating and diving is acceptable. After all the fuss with suarez they really need take a stance not fine martinez and pulis (i guess it will happen) for talking the truth

I think that angle is pretty harsh on Boswinga. Perhaps he was looking for the foul, but there definitely was contact and enough to bring him down, the reverse angle is better.

But the contact was initiated by Bosingwa so it just wasn't a foul, not even a little. And while I understand the referee had just talked to him, if that's what gets someone sent off, I have to question why he didn't just send him off before.

apparently 2 is a big enough accumulation for a yellow card! funny after watching cabaye and ben arfa the game before because 10 didn't equal 1 yellow in that game

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

A good point on a so-so day with a very poor referee when we were never going to play like we can do given the set up of Osman and Neville in the centre of midfield.

I can tell you that QPR (Hughes aside) were delighted with the point.

Couple of mildly interesting pics from the day taken on my phone - who can you spot in the crowd

Esk showing restraint there...I'd have been tempted to throw a chip or two.

i find it interesting that players constantly say they want champions league football yet dont perform when it matters to MAKE champions league. Everton were in the drivers seat, could have been 4pts clear of everyone else and **** it up to the worst team in the EPL.

You'd think, but I bet the desire from QPRs players to not be playing in the Championship next season outweighed that. We were pretty craptastic, though.

This game has "banana peel" written all over it.

Heart says Everton win this 3-0.

Head says 1-1 draw.

Ding ding ding ding....winner.
