1-0 up but we should have scored more

A combination of poor finishing and good goalkeeping by the QPR keeper see us hanging on to the first minute goal by Rooney. The fact that Evans and Jones had our best chances to double the score is perhaps the reason why we are still just 1-0 up. And the worrying aspect is that QPR are not just looking. They know our defence is vulnerable and with De Gea firmly rooted between the posts, our defence has to deal with all the crosses with no help from the keeper. Evra has been turned inside out by the QPR winger. If I was SAF with options for the LB position, I would take him off at HT!

We need a second goal. My feeling is that there will be other goals in this match and who gets the second goal is critical. If we get the goal, QPR will probably concede defeat but if they get an equaliser, we can be in trouble despite dominating most of the first half. Welbeck needs to be more alert as he has been rather poor this half despite his admirable work rate.

Let's get a second goal and wrap this up....GO ON REDS!!
