Reply | Good and detailed interview with MW in the Athletic today
at 14:30 15 Oct 2019
It;s nice to see after years of cheap talk and broken promises, the team finally seems to have a recognisable philosophy/playing style. It's also really refreshing to hear our manager talk in depth about a style of play we're ACTUALLY playing (Hasselbaink's 'pressing' comes to mind)
The thing I took most from the interview was that MW feels chances created is a far more relevant stat than possession, which I totally agree with. Of course, the more you have the ball, the more likely you are to create chances but as we saw against Cardiff and Bristol City, possession doesn't automatically mean chance creation. The Man City's and Liverpool's of the world usually have 55%+ possession but they always create chances, even in games they lose. Against the better sides (i.e. the ones we've lost to this season) we haven't been able to turn possession into goals, but I'm sure that will come.
Hope we stick with Mark for a while (not that anything ever sticks around at QPR for long) and should he leave, I hope we appoint a manager with a similar footballing philosophy and ingrain it into the club à la Swansea in the late 2000's. QPR always feels more like QPR when we play positive attacking football. |
