poor game but got away with a point as I thought Bartons tackle was worth a penalty at the end
Great crowd and thought the players gave it their all
Mid season -this is a good place to be but need to collect a few scalps away from home while getting wins at home-going to be toough but it always is for the Rssss

What a disaster, we were bloody awful last time out and for much of the second half today not much better, this should have been put out of Swansea's reach before the hour mark . Most were no doubt happy ( as I was) at half time with a team effort so much different to the wasted opportunity against Palace.
Content with a one goal lead it seems we made the game one that was there for the Swansea to take and with only fifteen to twenty minutes of real effort on their part they could have done and very nearly did.
On balance early on we probably deserved three points up until and when Zamora was substituted when we in effect played with ten men, Routledge's dismissal simply evened the status quo.
When Swansea lifted their tempo we failed to respond, overall 4 points from the last three games is an abject failure but that's all that can be expected by simply belting a long ball out of defense at every opportunity as is our current strategy( or lack of it) all to often . very disappointed, no game plan, not much on field leadership.

Best result of the season, IMO. Team showed great character and this should be a huge confidence boost for the games ahead. To a man they couldn't be faulted. A huge pat on the back for Mane. Great goal. Even the Invisible Man (Tadic) got a goal.. Only critique and maybe I'm being greedy is I thought we should of had at least 2 more. JWP in the first half and Pelle in the 2nd.

We defended really well and never let Arsenal get in behind us. I heard Whinger saying they had the better chances but I don't believe that. A couple of long range efforts that Forster dealt with comfortably. They had more possession yes but they never really threatened and we didn't look shaky.

I don't think we'll get the praise we deserve from this game. Had we lost, the press would have again mentioned how we haven't beaten any of the tops clubs etc etc. Now that we have, it's all about how Arsenal made mistakes.

Still, let's hope we remain under the radar!

Great all round performance. I've never given higher ratings throughout the team. I thought Wanyama was immense running that area of the field on his own. If Pelle had had his shooting boots on we could have won by 4/5. Now we know we can beat the top 4 teams. What a great couple of weeks we have had.

Felt like a defeat at the final whistle, and two points dropped. But on reflection with the Green incident especially, we could have been down to ten men very early, it might turn out to be a point gained. The small section of fans booing when Hoilett came on were disgraceful. Really helped his performance didn't it? I tonight Harry could have "broken up" the three mins injury time by making at least one change, Onohua or Ferdinand for Vargas, just to halt Swansea's momentum. Isla and Henry had their best games in QPR shirts in my opinion and I thought Dunne was outstanding too. Charlie looked tired and was not at his usual very high standard, but I think we can let him off that after all he has done so far this season. Definitely need a good winger and a pacy striker in this window, to compliment what we have already. It's going to be a rollercoaster between now and May, lots of ups and downs, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Great result and well deserved. Struggled to keep the ball on occasions (as did Arsenal) and on the plus side created lots of chances and could have had 4 or 5 goals. Key moment Forster save from Cazorla (?) downfield to Wanyama touched onto Davis equisite control before passing across 6 yard box poked home by Tadic. Wanyama my man of match after getting booked a quarter way into match however, was a man mountain afterwards and didn't put a foot wrong - him and Davis most improved players this season. Fans were fantastic and must have given the players a boost.

Great game just a shame about the result but in the past we have been lucky so it was about time things caught up with us ie Palace late penalty shout and WBA hitting th epost in the dying seconds
Great goal from Fer who had a great game Impressed with Henrys and Bartons work rate in midefield if only their passing was better....
Swansea had the opportunities to win this easily and their late goal was derserved
Watched this from high in the T block -pretty supportive crowd!
Seen enough to ensure we stay up but it will be close as no one else seems to be giving up

Fantastic match - best this season. Vic was MOTM easily but I thought JWP was absolutely superb - he and Tadic really understand each other (did you see that little sequence of one-twos down the wing?).

Davis brilliant, Bertrand brilliant, Gardos brilliant (and well lucky), Toby brilliant, team effort brilliant. People say Arsenal were crap but that's because we made them look crap.

VERY happy to have to eat my words about Mané - he's bloody BRILLIAAAANT!!!

Battling defensive performance. Thought we held out well until Bony came on and needed another central defender then. Charlie and Bobby had a poor day but can forgive them that. And of course Greeno lucky to stay on the pitch. Good to see Clint doing OK against Routledge. Thought that might have been a mismatch.

Main problem was poor passing and lack of mobility in midfield, although Joey and Karl worked their socks off. Although he was awful when he came on Hoillet does offer something different when we're under the cosh and we needed to change things.
