This is nothing to do with tactics, it's about 16 players who have barely strung 3 passes together 

Really? The reason we can't string passes together is because QPR have 4-5 men in the middle of the pitch cutting off all our inside options, they then allow us to go wide where we then get the wing blocked off and have two options, come back or try to beat the man and cross the ball in where they have more players behind the ball who are better in the air than us.

It's all about the tactics, there is a reason a team who beat Southampton and looked full of confidence look lost today. We haven't changed anything about our tactics, but we've come up against a team who have nullified our style and we've not adapted to it at all. Everyone of our players starts by going wide and either coming back and across the pitch or down a dead end where we try to cross... we're literally trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results and QPR are loving it as they're set up perfectly to stop it.  When in possession QPR have 3 men in the middle before you see a single one of our players so how are we going to go through the middle to create anything when the wide men have no options going forward. Our attack is fully nullified.

Stating the obvious, but we simply have to work out how to play hard working sides that set up like QPR have. Nothing about how they have played has been a surprise.

That's the trouble they are happy to take the plaudits when beating top in form teams but can't even put in half a performance against a side that's won 2 in 12 away games and hardly scored a goal!
