Harry theory

[Del]

I am as concerned as everyone at Harry's choice of tactics against teams we should be attacking and challenging, such as Norwich and Swansea. To go defensive is shocking, but is there more to this...?

I think Harry suffers from a big pshycological barrier when coming up against teams possibly perceived superior to his own, and as a result thinks about shutting them out and hoping for a draw, rather than going at them looking for the win. When at Spurs he very rearely got any sort of result from the big sides, ie those classed above Spurs. IT became a mental thing and people didnt expect them to win most of the time.

Now i worry he's got a similar issue with us and rather than going for teams he's thinking shut them out and hope for a break to maybe nick a goal.... ok against the likes of Chelsea, Spurs, City and you pick upa few points, but it cannot become your default formation and approach. The Norwich game for me against a side who cant buy a win, sent out all the wrong messages and the alarm bells were ringing. Same against Swansea, although being honest i didnt expect anything from them.

I agree that we need to go for it and actually attack teams- I'm not sure he has the confidence in the players to do that and so takes the safe approach.

Del, name your starting eleven.

Remember - Nearly EVERY PLAYER we have has come under criticism

e.g. Granero, Derry and SWP

Interested to see what you THINK would be better.

[Fraggy]

I think he believes it may go down to gd at the end of the season, so therefore is concerned about shipping too many goals.

Currently, availability permitting i'd have:

...................Cesar
Onouha....Samba...Hill...Fabio
SWP.....Granero...Mbia...Taarabt
...........Remy...Zamora


Or if 4231 as Harry seems to prefer:

.......................Cesar
Onouha.....Samba....Hill.....Fabio
.............Mbia.......Diakite
SWP..............Granero.......Taarabt
......................Remy

I see no difference. Sorry...

Same players... Zamora isnt fit so pointless...

If he was then harry would be playing him as he already said.

To add, most people have said that Granero has been poor along with SWP

Sooo... in a nutshell, you cant ****ing win. Makes me laugh... madness

[silvercue]

I think they key differences there are that there is no room for Derry or Mackie.

[stanistheman]

I realise that injuries have restricted some selections, but for me to go into games with Mackie or Taarabt as a striker and leave the likes of Campbell and Bothroyd out against Norwich and Swansea is very negative.

I recall saying before the Man City game that I would have selected Bothroyd alongside Remy. Bothroyd may not be good enough for the Premiership, but he is a striker and should be selected to play if others are not available.

Hopefully Zamora and Remy will be fit for the remaining games, because being 7 points adrift, draws are no longer going to do much good to QPR's position.

I have to say that so far, whilst there has been a big improvement on Hughes' results, Redknapp has been a disappointing let down.

I had hoped for wins against Villa, Wigan, WBA, and Norwich rather than the 3 draws achieved. Even if they had only won of these and drawn 2, there'd be more hope of surviving.

Will Redknapp now put out a more attack minded side in the 12 games left to play and go gor a few wins?

He has options in the likes of Remy, Zamora, Bothroyd, Taarabt, Townsend, Hoilett, SWP and even Mackie to play an attacking 4-3-3 or 4-4-2. I'd probably prefer the former and if necessary be more direct and go all out to outscore the opponents (no point really in relying on defensive displays and hoping to nick a 1-0 win, even if it did work at Chelsea).

WOW - What a difference.

Pathetic, sorry no dig. Just fed up

One minute Granero is **** this **** that (Play derry at least he plays well etc)

Now its, get rid of old man Derry again

[MattyRangers]

That second team looks decent Del wouldn't mind seeing that given a run out.

Zamora was fit enough to play Saturday and against Norwich, hence on the bench. He cant play 90 mins, fine, so play until he can and then replace like for like with Bothroyd who was brilliant recently at West Brom. Both target strikers who are much better suited than Mackie and Taarabt repsectively in his 4231 preference.

Also Granero was fit and not used until too late on Saturday.

SWP has been playing excellently under Harry since he arrived yet suddenly bombed out while Mackie who consistently offers nothing stays in the team.

The team that started the 2nd half Sat should've started the match to perhaps let us get a foothold in the match and have a chance of winning, rather than waiting until after the games almost lost, and we have to risk leaving ourselves open while chasing a deficit as was the case.

Harry has fuc%ed up with his selection and tactics in the last two games. Not sure why you refuse to accept that.
