Q.P.R. I do not like my tactics!

Hello dear readers,

first of all - Arsenal video story by NTM, Episode 3:

________________________

And now I am going to be critical regarding my current tactical approach. And this is not because of quite poor results. The reason is that my current tactics doesn't show a kind of football I like. I prefer an attacking style of football, but currently my Q.P.R. shows a cautious and defensive style.

So my conclusion after all played PL fixtures and matches in the League Cup is:

I am creating a completely new attacking tactics with nearly the same formation.

Surely, my players will have to blend into it from the very beginning. It will be another obstacle on my way to survive in the Premier League…

Latest results

Premier League table

Well, we are still at the bottom but not in relegation zone. Liverpool is below us, Kenny Dalglish is under critics and going to be sacked soon. My board confidence is stable because I promised to avoid relegation only.

Here are the latest played matches of Rangers:

QPR Matches

Almost all games were played without injured Taarabt and DJ Campbell, one of the best attacking QPR players. So we lacked a force in attack.

I didn't expect to take at least one point against Tottenham, Chelsea and Man City. Moreover, Joey Barton and Luke Young got red cards in two of these matches failing all our hopes on a sudden success. Detailed information about rivalry against Chelsea can be found in this post.

Unfortunately, QPR conceded too many goals in a equal away game against Swansea loosing it with 2:3 score… I can only single out 2 very good home matches bringing QPR 6 points. The first one was against West Bromwich Albion. Here is its video highlights and detailed information:

First win without Taarabt

The 1:0 victory over Wigan was marked by the first goal of wonderkid Yaya Sanogo. This is also was a moment when I decided to change tactical approach to more attacking and quick one.

Triuph

New QPR formation

Formation was slightly changed because I moved AMC to MC position. You would ask me: Isn't it making tactics more defensive. Well, yes. But the biggest changes were made in team instructions… Going to implement extremely quick tempo usage and wide play (I understand how it's difficult).

Soon I will post my new tactics which I am going to follow and develop with Q.P.R. It's really making me excited!

 

Q.P.R. players

Players list

  Worst players

Well, Paddy Kenny and Alejandro Faurlin were the best players of the first quarter of the season. I can single out also Joey Barton, Peter Vaagan Moen, Adel Taarabt and Shaun Wright-Phillips. All these footballers showed a performance of quality level I expected.

It's a pity but defenders didn't perform well in spite of logical defensive tactical approach used from the very start of the season. Materazzi, Hinkel and Traore have the worst ratings among all QPR backs. But I think it's still early to state that all these players are rubbish. They need some time. Though obviously I understand that defence is the weakest area and needs strengthening during winter transfer window.

That's all for now.

Next my Q.P.R. story post is going to be about the attacking tactics I started developing and using in FM 2012. It will completely new tactical approach I have never created and used in any version of Football Manager!!! Stay tuned!
