QPR v Norwich player ratings

By

Without the injured Loic Remy, QPR were unable to get the win against Norwich that they badly needed. Here’s how we rated the players in their frustrating 0-0 draw at Loftus Road.

Julio Cesar: 7
Continued his recent good form with another important save, this time an instinctive reaction stop to deny Wes Hoolahan.

Fabio: 7
Solid at right-back and got forward well.

Chris Samba: 7
A sound start to his QPR career. Will be an asset in both boxes.

Clint Hill: 7
Solid as usual at the back. Did well in his battle with Grant Holt.

Armand Traore: 7
Did okay defensively and always looked to get forward.

Shaun Wright-Phillips: 6
Wasn’t able to trouble Norwich’s resolute defence.

Shaun Derry: 6
Kept it simple and gave the back four good cover.

Stephane Mbia: 6
Full of running but lacked composure at important times.

Andros Townsend: 7
Did well on his debut. Always willing to take players on and shoot when the chance arose.

Adel Taarabt: 6
Unable to convert his penalty, which was well saved by Mark Bunn, but worked hard with and without the ball on a frustrating day for the team.

Jamie Mackie: 6
Won the penalty but otherwise had little joy. Remy was missed.

Bobby Zamora: 6
Offered a physical presence up front when he came on and went close to scoring with a far-post header.

Jermaine Jenas: 6
Neat and tidy after being introduced off the bench for his debut.
