The QPR XI, before the QPR XI Lineup predictions + everything R’s @QPR

Interesting that Poku’s two best games (Preston and Swansea) have come when he’s been utilised as a RM in a 4-4-2, which the license to drop back AND come inside to receive the ball - basically given as much freedom as he likes Very effective for someone so good on the ball

MOTM may have to go to Stephan. Perfect setup. That defence of ours is a joke. Varane is back Kwame outrageous Front two of Smyth and Kone could feed generations And Pierce, please don’t leave 😁

Incredible first half Full credit to Stephan. Got the setup and tactics absolutely spot on Kone. Wow

QPR vs Swansea: Stephan clearly prefers playing a CAM but Harvey Vale can’t keep on starting so I’ve gone for a lineup almost identical to that of the West Ham game Cirkin is back but don’t expect him to take Kemper’s spot yet Come on you R’s!!!

Forgot to get my prediction out 😬 Would’ve predicted exactly this but Madsen over JCS and Edwards to CB. Didn’t expect Madsen to be rested but not mad about it Come on you R’s!!

What a performance! Can’t think of a single bad shift today. Defence and midfield, especially, were SO good Can’t even think of a MOTM. So many standout performances Onto a very important away day at Birmingham on Saturday Come on you R’s!!!

Gutting for Mbengue that. Looks like an ACL

Well, what a half! Not 4-4-2, that’s for sure, and I’ve actually really liked the setup so far Another 3 in the second half?

9/11 for a third game running Probably should’ve read the Poku rest as well as the JCS one. Just didn’t want to predict something I didn’t want to happen!! 4-4-2 I’m not a fan of especially with Vale and Smyth as the wingers, but let’s see… Come on you R’s!!!
QPR vs Derby 🧵 Think we may see the exact same XI for two games straight for the first time this season The only things I believe could change are Vale in for JCS, Edwards to CB, 4231, and/or Mbengue for Adamson For me, none of Vale, Kone or Mbengue DESERVE to start #QPR

I am going to stick with this prediction out of optimism, but I’m worried Stephan may start Vale over Clarke-Salter, move Edwards to CB and play a 4231 I say worried because I really don’t think Vale has been good enough to merit a start, regardless of whether JCS ‘needs’ a rest

I don’t think Stephan should overthink this too much. Perhaps the midfield is slightly more defensive than we have played this season (outside of West Ham) but this is currently our best XI. You start your best XI, you win games…I believe.

Great interview this. Set up perfectly from the start Very much adapted to the league now it’s fair to say
Julien's perspective on the point 🗣️

This has got to be the core 10 for the next few And then… - Burrell to come back in for Kolli - Cirkin’s spot no longer guaranteed - Lamptey, we’ll have to see what his injury’s like - Edwards midfield while we wait for Dembele/Chair to reintroduce a CAM #QPR

It’s a shame to see Kone in this form. Love the guy but just looks so off it. Same goes for Vale. Just don’t think he’s been good enough to merit a spot in the XI. And with Mbengue, he’s great, but you can’t drop Adamson in this form

- Gotta give it to Smyth. Was brilliant after half time. Again, shame he was brought off - And then Kolli. Had some nice touches but also had some sloppy moments. So glad to have him back though

- In Mbengue’s case that was a mistake from Stephan. I said it when he came on, “you don’t bring on Mbengue when you need composure”, and he does exactly what every fan expected him to do; have a moment of madness

Overall, I think it was a brilliant point, and a fully fit squad may have even won us that game, as the pressure we put on them for 70 minutes was outstanding We go again on Wednesday, at home to Derby!

- Edwards and JCS were brilliant and so composed. That’s my preferred two CBs but don’t see Dunne moving out the team any time soon with his physicality being so crucial in this league - Kemper was outstanding. Kept Bowen quiet the whole time he was on. Shame he was taken off

- Adamson continues to be so good. He’s like a new signing. Again, so composed - Midfield three worked a treat, especially Kamara. What an amazing bit of business - Thought Poku looked a bit off it but I don’t doubt he’ll bounce straight back
