Hey guys, I'm back!!!Back to my game,the season kick start with an away match against Spurs at White Hart Lane.Looking at the fixtures ahead, I feel suicidal especially with us facing Spurs followed by ManUtd and another away match against Sunderland.None of these matches are easy.A good early start is necessary for a small club like us to start picking up confidence and pace to match with the rest of the elite teams out there like Arsenal FC, Chelsea Fc, Liverpool FC and Manchester United FC.
For the 1st match against Spurs, 3 new signings made their debut.Fabian Monozon, Rafinha and Julio Baptista made their debut for the club.For Spurs, Defoe and Keane lead their striking line and that sounds worrying for my defense especially with Monzon and Rafinha being new to the club and understanding wise, we are losing out to Spurs.
A bassong-Dawson partnership doesn't sound very tough to break through hmm?Unfortunately,HT came, score still 0-0.Bassong and Dawson are holding Baros and Baptista in their pocket.
75minutes passed and the score remained the same. 3 minutes later, a player whom my former assistant deemed as "decent" player that we should "signed as last resort" broke the deadlock and scored the only goal.
Baros comes to the saviour.
Full Time:
Tottenham 0-1 Q.P.R
Just 3 days later, we are playing one of the biggest team in the world.Although they finished 13th last season,they are still one of the biggest team that we can't take them lightly.
Due to the fact that most of the players are not in their 100% condition, I have no choice but to make few changes.In addition to that, 4 days later, we will be playing against Sunderland which we have a better chance of winning.So, resting some key players are essential.
Baptista came off for Cristaldo.
Rafinha replaced Salvio.
Rodwell who played as Centerback in the match against Spurs moved to center , replacing Cattermole.
Connolly played as Centerback, replacing Rodwell.Shawcross took up the rightback position left behind by Rafinha.
This is the final formation and lineup.
Kacar remained in his DM role which he did well for the past few months since joining us in January.
The game started well beyond my expectation.In 30minutes, we already have 5-6 scoring opportunities.
In 35minutes, Manchester United gave away a freekick which Otamendi scored a volley from close ranged.
HT: 1-0. Q.P.R unexpectedly leading.
The game continued as both sides have fair amount of chances to change the scoreline.A determined Joe Hart kept out the ball to allow the team remain leading with a goal.
A victory looks likely with the team approaching 90minutes.2minutes of injury time added.The scoreline remained the same until the final few seconds.
Baros took on few players and scored a goal!Baros had now scored 2 goals out of 2 matches.
Full Time:
Queens Park Rangers 2 - 0 Manchester United.
The 3rd and final match of August was against Sunderland FC.
Same formation was used.2 changes were made with Salvio and Aliev coming in on both flanks.
Before half time,Dembele scored a goal to push Sunderland into leading the match before Cristaldo scored to equalize.
Late in game,Salvio put a cross into the box and Baros, out of nowhere,headed it to put QPR into lead.
Full Time:
Now, Milan Baros already scored 3 goals in 3 matches.2 of them were winning goals.I'm expecting him to win the Player Of The Month award.
The best signing I ever made. Free but effective!Hopefully, Baptista can follow Baros' footstep.
9 man of the match! His previous record of 8 came from full season.
