So...that was like the best ten minutes of any game, in any sport, I've ever fucking seen. 
 
I've never seen that before. Arlo White did an awesome job - "this game has gone BONKERS!"

Yeah, but that took longer (in terms of minutes) and was not past the 90' minute mark. I agree, Everton-Chelsea was a rip-roaring good time but if there were such a thing as WPA in soccer, it yo-yo-ed at the speed of light at the death of this Liverpool-QPR match.

Seriously though, why not foul the shit out of Sterling when he makes the run?
 
This on more than one occasion in that crazy final 15.  QPR has to foul there, it was incredible that nobody did twice.

As tactically dense as Liverpool were, QPR were also a mess in the last 15.  Henry and Dunne were already on yellows and Sterling was racing right up the middle.
 
QPR needed a midfield destroyer, but Traore, who'd come on for Sandro and could have slowed down Sterling, was hanging out on the left, while Fer decided to play third striker.  The side that had funneled Liverpool to the edges and overwhelmed them left the center wide open.
