HARRY: WE MUST KEEP BELIEVING




Redknapp reacts to home draw against Aston Villa
HARRY Redknapp says his team must continue to believe after the R’s were held to a 1-1 draw against fellow strugglers Aston Villa at Loftus Road.

Eight points adrift from safety at the start of the day, Rangers were only able to make up one thanks to Jamie Mackie’s first-half leveller.

But Redknapp told www.qpr.co.uk: “We hit the woodwork several times and had all the chances. I felt we deserved to win today.

“Jamie [Mackie] took his goal well and made a couple of great chances.

“Shaun Wright-Phillips ran through twice. He was one-on-one with the ‘keeper and missed a good opportunity before striking the post.

“Clint Hill also struck the crossbar in the second half. All the chances were coming to us. We looked like the team that was going to win the game. We just couldn’t get the second goal.”

He added: “There was no shortage of spirit or effort. I thought we played ever-so well today. We just couldn’t get that second goal.

“Villa kept the ball late on without going anywhere – it was difficult.

“Overall, most of the chances fell to us, we just couldn’t get the second goal that we needed.

“The atmosphere was fantastic. That’s just what we needed. We’re in a difficult position, there’s no doubt about that.

“But we’ve got to keep going, believing and working hard. We need that first win to get us up and running.

“We needed a win today and it didn’t come, so we’ve got to go again next week.” QPR

Redknapp gives update on Mbia and Diakite injuries after Aston Villa draw

By Nick Wright Saturday, December 1, 2012
6:09 PM

QPR manager Harry Redknapp has played down the seriousness of injuries to Rangers duo Stephane Mbia and Samba Diakite in their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Cameroon international Mbia was stretchered off and taken to hospital after receiving treatment on the pitch for several minutes following a collision with Gabby Agbonlahor.

Mbia’s injury threatened to put a cloud over the contest but Redknapp says he was sent to hospital merely as a precaution, while Diakite’s second half substitution was merely down to a minor injury.

On Mbia, the QPR boss said: “He’s not too bad he’s just got a neck injury, he shouldn’t be too bad.

“They’re just going to have a look at him [at hospital] and make sure he’s ok but they don’t feel there’s any problem.”

He added: “I didn’t see what happened. I followed the ball. I think they just ran into each other.”

Mbia has since written on Twitter: “Actually in hospital ;( i want and i will come back soon as i can! #QPR”

On Diakite, Redknapp said: “Diakite got a little kick on the calf. Not too much wrong with him I don’t think.”

Queens Park Rangers' Jamie Mackie cancels out Aston Villa's early lead



So the wait goes on. This was supposed to be the breakthrough, the beginnings of a feat of escapology, the first win since Stoke City were beaten at the tail end of last season, way back in early May. QPR now have the dubious honour of equalling the longest winless start to a Premier League season, joining Swindon Town's travails in season 1993-94.

Harry Redknapp strained to disguise his frustration. The matchwinner that QPR yearned for, knocked on the door for, never quite materialised, and "lift-off time", which he had been so hopeful about, fizzled out. "We just needed a goal and something to fall for us," he said. "The place would have taken off. To go to Wigan with a win under our belt would have been massive. Now we have got to go to Wigan and win."

Although Brad Guzan, the solid American in goal for Aston Villa, was a major factor in ensuring the points were shared, QPR can also reflect that they were not quite creative enough, or ruthless enough, to make the best of their second-half dominance.

Everybody around Loftus Road sensed this was a match that desperately needed winning to establish some kind of fresh start, a new momentum, something that was both tangible and symbolic in terms of QPR's attempt to touch base with the teams above the relegation zone. It was not to be.

Redknapp's disappointment was such he brushed off the warm welcome he received from the Loftus Road crowd. "It was nice for me but I am only interested in picking up some points. We need a win on the board somehow."

That looked a tall order when Villa, who started boldly, took an eighth-minute lead. Ashley Westwood helped the ball on to Brett Holman, who beat Rob Green with a firm drive. QPR responded, with Jamie Mackie flicking Samba Diakité's lofted cross into the top corner. Redknapp gave a thumbs up but still looked sufficiently concerned not to get too excited.

Shaun Wright-Phillips twice came close to securing the lead around the half-hour mark. The winger was released by a sublime, chipped pass from Esteben Granero but Guzan won the duel and diverted the danger with a fine save. Moments later, teed up by Stéphane Mbia, Wright-Phillips took aim again. This time he outwitted Guzan with a ferocious shot, struck early, but watched in disbelief as his effort came off the post.

Guzan was instrumental in maintaining Villa's position in the game after half time. When QPR enjoyed a period peppering his goal, he responded to deal with Ryan Nelsen's acrobatic shot, Diakité's speculative drive and a crack from Park Ji-sung. Paul Lambert enthused about a keeper he feels has "been brilliant all season". When Guzan was beaten by Clint Hill's header late on, QPR were demoralised to see the ball bounce off the crossbar.

Lambert was understandably satisfied to emerge unscathed. "This was a really tough game with Harry coming back and QPR fighting for every point. New manager syndrome normally kicks in but for us any point away from home is vital," he said.

Redknapp tried to take encouragement from his players' efforts but there was an element of resignation that things remain tough while the squad exists in its bloated yet imbalanced state. The former Tottenham and Portsmouth manager is still in the early phase of trying to forge a convincing team but knows he had to pick two veterans at centre-half, and makes no bones of the fact he wants a striker in January.

Djibril Cissé was left on the bench, with the "energy" of Mackie preferred, but QPR would clearly benefit from more options in the penalty area.

At least the two midfielders who left the pitch injured have only minor problems. That was particularly reassuring in the case of Mbia, who fell in obvious distress having collided with Gabriel Agbonlahor. After lengthy treatment, he was carried off wearing a neck brace and transferred straight to hospital for a scan. Diakité later limped off but Redknapp said later neither had suffered anything too serious.

As the crowd shuffled off, it was not quite the day they had been hoping for. So far QPR's brave new world does not look massively different from their gloomy old one.

Mbia carried off as QPR again fail to win

QPR 1 Aston Villa 1

QPR equalled a Premier League record by failing to win Harry Redknapp’s first home match in charge.

After going behind to Brett Holman’s early goal, they were hauled level by Jamie Mackie’s 18th-minute equaliser.

But they were unable to make their second-half pressure count and have now endured the longest winless start to a top-flight season since Swindon’s 15-match run during the 1993/94 campaign.

And there was concern for Stephane Mbia, who was stretchered off following an accidental collision with Aston Villa’s Gabby Agbonlahor seven minutes before the break

Villa went ahead when keeper Rob Green, recalled to the starting line-up because of an injury to Julio Cesar, got a firm hand to Holman’s eighth-minute shot but was unable to keep it out.

Mackie responded with a fine header into the far corner from Samba Diakite’s right-wing cross.

Villa then thought their lead had been restored when Christian Benteke headed in Matt Lowton’s cross, but the impressive forward was in an offside position.

Redknapp dropped Djibril Cisse to the bench, deploying Mackie as a lone striker and giving Shaun Wright-Phillips a starting place.

Wright-Phillips wasted a great chance when he shot straight at keeper Brad Guzan after being put through by Esteban Granero.

He was then unlucky to see a thumping half-volley strike the near post after he had raced onto a similar ball forward from Mbia, who was having a good game before an off-the-ball clash left him flat on his back.

Mbia barely moved during several minutes of treatment before being carried away. He was later taken to hospital for precautionary tests.

Guzan produced second-half saves to deny Ryan Nelsen, Diakite – who limped off on 67 minutes – Ji-sung Park and Armand Traore.

And Rangers hit the woodwork for the second time when Clint Hill headed Adel Taarabt’s late corner against the bar.

QPR (4-1-4-1): Green; Bosingwa, Nelsen, Hill, Traore; Mbia (Derry 38); Wright-Phillips, Diakite (Hoilett 67), Granero (Park 45), Taarabt; Mackie.
Subs not used: Murphy, Ferdinand, Cisse, Fabio.

Redknapp explains Cisse omission

QPR boss Harry Redknapp stood by his decision to drop Djibril Cisse for the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Jamie Mackie was handed the role of lone striker and headed in a first-half equaliser after Rangers had fallen behind.

Two chances then fell to Shaun Wright-Phillips, who was given a starting place.

Redknapp said: “I just felt he [Mackie] gives us energy and I thought we needed that. We needed some legs and Jamie gives you that.”

Boss Redknapp hails QPR’s veteran trio


Harry Redknapp paid tribute to veteran trio Ryan Nelsen, Clint Hill and Shaun Derry following QPR’s 1-1 draw at home to Aston Villa.

Rangers’ failure to win Redknapp’s first home match in charge means they remain bottom of the table and without a league victory this season.

But the manager said: “I couldn’t have asked for any more effort. There was no-one I could look at and think ‘ you could have run around more’.

“There was only one team in it after Villa scored. We were the only team creating chances and the woodwork saved them a couple of times.

“It was a bit like the game against Sunderland the other night in that I was pleased with the performance – we just need a win.”

He added: “We’re okay in some positions and desperately short in others. We’re short of front players and centre-halves.

“We’re playing Clint Hill and Ryan Nelsen, who came here thinking he would be fourth-choice centre-back and is now the captain playing every week.

“Then you’ve got Shaun Derry, who came on and did a great job. They tried for their life again and are great professionals.”

Derry replaced Stephane Mbia, who was stretchered off following an accidental collision with Villa’s Gabby Agbonlahor in the first half.

Mbia suffered a neck injury that is not thought to be serious and was taken to hospital for precautionary tests.

Rangers also believe a knock suffered by Samba Diakite in the second half will not prove to be serious.

Statement & Signatories (including from QPR)
EUROPEAN FOOTBALLERS DECLARE SUPPORT FOR PALESTINE
29.Nov.2012
We, as European football players, express our solidarity with the people of Gaza who are living under siege and denied basic human dignity and freedom. The latest Israeli bombardment of Gaza, resulting in the death of over a hundred civilians, was yet another stain on the world's conscience.

We are informed that on 10 November 2012 the Israeli army bombed a sports stadium in Gaza, resulting in the death of four young people playing football, Mohamed Harara and Ahmed Harara, 16 and 17 years old; Matar Rahman and Ahmed Al Dirdissawi, 18 years old.

We are also informed that since February 2012 two footballers with the club Al Amari, Omar Rowis, 23, and Mohammed Nemer, 22, have been detained in Israel without charge or trial.

It is unacceptable that children are killed while they play football. Israel hosting the UEFA Under-21 European Championship, in these circumstances, will be seen as a reward for actions that are contrary to sporting values.

Despite the recent ceasefire, Palestinians are still forced to endure a desperate existence under occupation, they must be protected by the international community. All people have the right to a life of dignity, freedom and security. We hope that a just settlement will finally emerge.
