Disaster at Q.P.R
So before we go into a deep sigh and possible laughter thinly layered with a hint of frustration. By a show of hand, which of you actually thought that QPR could really pull something off this season? Good, Now of those that raise their hands which of you thought that Harry could and would be a savior of the London team? Perfect when you realize I actually can’t see your hands please put them down gently or pretend that you were simply reaching for your back.
Looking at the players that have arrived at Loftus Road in the last couple of seasons, it’s easy to wonder how QPR can find themselves at the bottom end of the Premier League.
Ever since the investment from owner Tony Fernandes, Queens Park Rangers have made an vast array of peculiar and intriguing signings. They are a band of misfits with Mark Hughes at the helm.
Only at a club with the mental past history of Queens Park Rangers can you expect to see a manager react to an opening day defeat by replacing the whole back four. A Swansea whirlwind may have blown any pre-season optimism away from Loftus Road but to resort to a carpentry-like renovation of a defence and give it the IKEA treatment at the calling of just one game is not the answer, regardless of its margin of defeat.
It now seems that Chelsea defender Alex has finally completed his long drawn out move to Paris St. Germain, which begs the question...is Carlo Ancelotti trying to re-create his title winning side from 2011?
Following Chelsea’s poor run of form recently – despite yesterday’s result – there is no doubt the defence is the Blues’ weakness. Although many are saying David Luiz is the fault at centre back and he should be more of a striker, I think most our goals we concede are coming from the right hand side; and the heavenly scope of light shines on your Mr Bosingwa. However, I feel I’ve also found the solution in the form of Paulo Ferreira.
