Match Thread Queens Park Rangers v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Stav1985]

Done it twice already this season, found a way to win when struggling last round as well

Pass the doob man

 

[the golden visionary]

What a waste of a shirt that Rondon is

 

[MikeH72]

What on earth is Gomes.

 

[TheNinja]

Lol I bet £20 for QPR to win!

Don't blame you with that starting lineup

 

[andy4efc]

First real black mark against Benitez for me this. You play four of those subs in this game - I don't care if it is the useless League Cup, his whole tenure relies on momentum.

Even if he got us to a final he'd have bought a lot more time and patience from fans.

As someone has already put, why managers bin this off when we're jsut a midtable team is daft.

Usually ends up with us drawing or losing the weekend game after anyway im sure.

 

[john jako]

Good side these

 

[Stav1985]

Leg it whiskey face

Sorry Topcat

 

[atypicalusername]

Dangerous ball in that

 

[ForeverBlue92]

It's a contender for our worst ever starting eleven, not including obvious reserve team selections or whatever.

It's a shocker.

What happens when you have 7 injuries.

Imagine if Doucoure or Gray played and done their hammie in tonight it would be a disaster going into the next 2 league games.

It's why I said forget the cups this season we sinply dont have enough squad depth/quality to go all the way.

The likes of City and Utd can field a 2nd string good enough to finish top 7 ours would struggle getting out of the Championship.

 

[MKEvertonian]

Why can’t we defend again? Rafael has stopped the defending drills.

 

[MKEvertonian]

Don't blame you with that starting lineup

It was before the starting lineup!

 

[TheNinja]

I mean, it's not that far off what we've got fit for the next few weeks mate

Yey!

 

[Neiler]

Here’s the plan, get it wide and bang a cross in, sure one will drop for us eventually.

Whi neeeds Jamo, when we have function.

 

[random]

Can't understand any Everton manager having the arrogance to abandon cups.

Not like we have Europe etc.

Silly.

We are actually going all out for them, the look of abandonment is just to manage the expectation of the fan base for our eventual elimination

 

[Drico]

This is a game that will rightly end careers. People get found out in games like this. If the likes of Gomes or Gordon or Kenny or Davies can't impose themselves against lower level opposition tonight, there is no track record to suggest they ever will. In that sense, it's an acid test. If you can't play reasonably well in a game like tonight's, then people will draw the right conclusions.
