The new QPR manager Harry Redknapp has said that he is extremely satisfied with the performance of his players in the recent 0-0 draw with Sunderland on Tuesday night. This was the first match in the touchline as a QPR manager for Harry Redknapp. He was appointed by the club last week as a replacement for Mark Hughes. It has been a very poor start to the new season for QPR, as they find themselves bottom of the Premier league without a win in the first 13 matches. That run extended to 14 matches on Tuesday night, as QPR struggled to finish off the chances against struggling Sunderland team.
Sunderland came into the match on the back of the 4-2 defeat against West Brom. They have also made a very poor start to the new season, with the team struggling to create a lot of chances. They did create a few against QPR, but the top scorer Stephen Fletcher was unable to convert them. However, he was not guilty of missing as many chances as QPR. The London teams squandered a lot of opportunities with the striker Cisse responsible for many, but the manager Harry Redknapp has said that he was pleased with the efforts by the players on the pitch.
“We need to play as a team and be a team. If we can put them [the players] together and get them to work together, we have got a chance. We looked at the stats before this game and I think we’ve been outworked by just about every team we’ve played and you cant win if that is the case. But everyone worked hard tonight. That is encouraging for the future,” said Harry Redknapp after the match. Redknapp was in the stands to watch the 3-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United during the weekend.
