Caulker

[stationcafe]

We've definitely got the slowest back 4 when we play 4 CB at the back. Our defence is so badly coached, we can't do the basics right. No composure on the ball and no cohesion between defenders means there are gaps everywhere.

ned was the wrong side of the goal scorer , that little fella caused us probs all day . we have the slowest back 4 in the PL

Spot on, yet all the blame seems to be on Caulker again. As for getting Rio to teach him, wasnt it Ferdinand who gave the ball away at St Mary's and also eecently at Arsenal. Truth is the whole set of defenders have been guilty of errors time and time again this season hence the lousy goals conceded stats.
i cant think of a single one of them who can claim to have had a decent season let alone a good one.

Que Nasser to come with some stats and blow this view out the water. I actually agree with you basic passes short or over hit. Barton kept playing this looped lofty ball to no one down the channel time after time. It was like watching rugby like we were trying to put the ball out and box them in

Actually wests, I agree from my vision, but also the stats agree, only players with more than 80 percent accuracy are Fer, Ferdinand, Hoilett, henry. All the others are below 80. Pretty shocking. 129 players are better at passing in this league than our best passer

[QPR Richard]

We had a precious point deep into injury time and this DEFENDER
does'nt know where row z is he has the ability you cant argue with that
but his lack of judgement makes him a liability , with Dunne's injury I now
can see Rio playing on tuesday , Caulker needs guidance and needs to
learn the very basics of defending

He could have the best coach in the world working with him, but not even the best can coach against mistakes. You can tell a player every day, when in doubt kick it out, but if he doesn't put that into practice it won't work.

OPS.No wonder we are struggling. Dont shoot me Down ,but This makes me thinks it should have been a place for Ferdinand in the team aswell. As a defensive midfielder perhaps? I mean he can(could) at least make a short pass.

[Ginger Ninja]

Its a shame because for 90 minutes i thought, despite their lack of pace, the defence did their job well. Southampton didnt have that many clear cut opportunities and Green didnt have a great deal to do, and what he had to do looked comfortable.

Yep nail head mate he could be a better than average C/B but needs a BAWLER and Shouter along side him

[Shepherds Mush]

Ned should have dealt with Mane but in all honesty it was a good goal and he had been a real handful all day long. Possibly one of the best forward players I've seen against us at LR this season.

As for Caulker - made some good tackles here and there but was way out of position at a vital time of the game. Personally couldn't care less when he leaves at the end of the season.

[Garyd73]

Would much rather go down trying to win games at the death and loosing them than holding on for a point with tough games coming up. 3 points can make so much difference than 1. At least he was trying to do the right thing but just cocked up the pass at the end.

If we had got 1 point this weekend it wouldn't have made too much difference but 3 would have been huge for us.

but instead of 1 or 3 we got 0

[Bigdave]

So much for signing young hungry players with potential. He ticked ALL the boxes so many on here wanted however has flattered to deceive in so many games and has cost us how many goals and points now???

The curse of QPR strikes yet again

[Kevin Mcleod]

I see mutch got subbed at half time. Wonder how long till pardew realises.

[Abseits]

Personally I don't mind fact he went forwards, used to love sight of Bob Hazell barrelling forwards causing mayhem in runaway dustcart mode. Its the hopeless pass at end of it that was depressing.... Its effing unbelievable how many of our players can't execute a 10yd pass properly, control the ball or shoot straight.

[West Acton]

Ned should have dealt with Mane but in all honesty it was a good goal and he had been a real handful all day long..

If he was playing with a hamstring injury not surprised the boy managed to role him in fairness to Ned

Yeah but it's about the time he went charging forward when row z or leather it for a Soton goal kick 93 mins
