Ivic livid over ‘soft' stalemate

VLADIMIR Ivic slammed his Watford players’ lack of passion at QPR – and warned their attitude must change if they are going to have any chance of promotion.

The Hornets made the perfect start at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, going ahead through Ben Wilmot’s third-minute opener.

But Ivic’s side faded after that and Rangers had several chances before Ilias Chair’s equalizer earned them a deserved point.

“I’m disappointed and I would say that even if we had won. It doesn’t matter that it was a draw,” Ivic said.

“That was not how I want my team to play. We played without passion and without energy from the beginning – we were lucky we scored in the second minute of the game.
