when he’s got the ball I continually expect him to stumble over it as he’s never balanced.Defensively Lati is fine. On the ball he is utterly horrific. Sheaf 6 just for work rate. Everyone else a 5.
Lati wasn’t at the heart of defence, only from goal kicks for some reason - probably ball progression.Back 5 simply does not work. MVE horrendously exposed, as was JDS, repeatedly beaten and I’m sorry but Lati at the heart of the defence is not the one.
We have absolutely no creativity through the middle either Rudi was absolutely lost tonight, entirely ineffective. We can all kid ourselves and say losing CoH and Palmer wasn’t that bad but we literally have no creative spark whatsoever.

The creativity comes from Eccles and Sheaf too. They are too comfortable passing laterally, something they’re both good at. When I comes to making passes forwards in the final third, not so good.
Our main tactical idea tonight was to get it out wide right to use MVE as a creative outlet. The problem is, MVE’s crossing is his biggest weakness.
Overall, today was an improvement in parts but again, we just can’t defend particularly well and concede easy goals.
He didn’t beat his man. Tats should have been on much earlier in his place ImhoIt wasn’t just MVEs crossing, he was hardly ever high enough up the pitch and I don’t remember him actually beating his man once the one or 2 crosses he did get in were the rare occasions we found him in space and then the end product was woeful.

He's not a wing back, he struggled a bit at the beginning of last season until we switched to 4231 with him at full back with a winger to play off.It wasn’t just MVEs crossing, he was hardly ever high enough up the pitch and I don’t remember him actually beating his man once the one or 2 crosses he did get in were the rare occasions we found him in space and then the end product was woeful.

Agree with all of this. The injury really helped QPR and we didn't really do anything going forward after that til Simms (like him or loath him) came on. Couple of decent balls from Eccles but not a lot else.Back 5 simply does not work.

To me he’s being played too far forward. The only times he shines in matches is when he’s allowed to play deeper and take the ball off the backs. He played that position against Werder Bremen, Everton and Blackburn which were possibly our best games so far this season. He likes to run create the space then pass. It’s clear to see he can’t play as a 10.Agree with all of this. The injury really helped QPR and we didn't really do anything going forward after that til Simms (like him or loath him) came on.

Palmer is still, for me, one of our best performers this season. Came in a couple of times and had an impact. I'm sure Rudi will come good but right now I'm not really sure what he is supposed to be doing. He just seems to be a bit lost up there.
Don't recall any of the gilt edged chances they had that would have led to such a big defeatAll joking aside it was slightly better today overall. But still shite.
Could easily have lost 2 or 3 nil. Plucky draw against bottom of the league who haven’t won at home all season.
