Luongo/Chery. Hope he gets rid of both. Both overrated and neither will suit his style of play should he play 442.
Hope they both go and Ollie don't keep them. |  |

Love it. Good old Ollie. Reckon he will really take to Polter and have Sylla or Conor playing off of him. I prefer Sylla but Polter will be right up Ollies street. Our forwards will all improve under Ollie that's for sure. We can be a real threat with two up top.
Have I mentioned I like 442, not sure I have. | |

Either way Ollie's seen a lot of QPR this season and will have a fair idea of what he needs to do to get this team up and running....better than someone coming in cold and taking 6 months to work out what he's got. |  | | |

Simply based on his previous spell as manager I wouldn't be surprised to see Luongo and chery dropped for a more traditional 442 with Henry and Borysiuk in the middle with Pavel and Shodipo out wide and Sylla/Polter and Washington up front. | | | |

If we get promoted in the next five years with Luongo and Chery starting the majority of games i'll run on the pitch starkers. I will paint 'AIR ASIA' on my c*** also. |

... In your opinion
In my opinion Freddie is right in some ways. They are both massively overrated by r's fans which is understandable given the lack of any stand out players in the squad. They both have good attributes that can help the team at times but they both have negative attributes that harm the team at time. Chery struggles wide so it forces us to play a certain way to accommodate,, when he is central he comes too deep leaving the striker exposed. When he is off it , he is a dead weight for the team a dead ball player.
Luongo for me is still more potential than finished article. He is good with the ball at his feet, he drives forward well works hard at closing down the spaces and when he is on it is a massive asset but ... He takes far too many touches and slows down the game as much as Henry, he does not play one twos or one touch passes, he strikes a ball poorly so he does not have a long pass and his shooting is poor. He has a really bad tendency to hide (or if you think that is unfair - not take the levels of responsibility on the ball required for his position) in big games such as the Brentford game. He has a hell of a lot to work on to be a a top championship centre midfielder. He may get there but he is still a long way off.
In all honesty I don't think either would have got in many of our teams as starting regular since Ollie was last here and got us promoted. And neither sits well in a 4-4-2 (not that I think we will play that)
That's not to say both will not improve or blossom under Ollie but neither are undroppable if it makes fora better team playing the way the manager wants to |  | | |

I think on the pitch we have very few leaders and characters
Compare 2004 and 2005 to our current squad - I think Holloway will need to bring some leaders and strong characters into this squad
Off the field I think the current coaches will leave and Holloway will bring in his own who probably are QPR people as well like Bircham and Gallen
I feel quite positive about this appointment

In a recent podcast Bircham made some interesting points about Luongo, Cherry and Polter and how Rangers maybe had too many foreigners in the side. Worth a listen. | | | |

Luongo is too weak a player, knocked off the ball too easily. Good thing is we would get a few quid for him and Chery. See what Ollie does but just PRAY it is 4-4-2. |
Apart from the fact that, for most teams, 4-4-2 is outdated, you don't pick a formation and shoehorn the players into it. You pick the best system for the players you have available. We don't have players to play 4-4-2 week in week out, and we're not likely to get them in January, either.
Every time we've tried to play 4-4-2 in the last 18 months we've been overrun in midfield. |  |

Thanks Baz; that is basically what I meant but goes into a lot more detail; I feel Luongo in particular has great potential and really excited me when he first arrived but usually disappoints these days. They both seem to lack passion for the team imo so if Olly can unlock that .... | | | |

Even though this thread went a bit loopy, I too think there is a tiny bit of food for thought in the original post.
Not that I think for one second we should be getting rid of either Luongo or Chery, they're both clearly talented and very important to us.
However, I haven't been as excited about Luongo as others have, the potential is there no doubt but I really hope Holloway can find the right balance and if that means, one of them doesn't play, so be it.
For me personally, one of my biggest disappointments this year has been Cousins, he was the signing I was most pleased about, I genuinely think he has a bright future and can be a player we all get behind for a long time to come. The problem is, we're yet to see him in his natural position and all because the team has had to accommodate others.
I''d just love to see round pegs in round holes, sometime players will miss out and sometimes I'd like to see it change to suit the game accordingly. At an level of of football , I hate seeing players picked just because they are perceived to to be best and to the possible detriment of the team.

Not me. You're talking shite. Chery is currently joint top scorer and has created more chances than anyone else in the league. If he wasn't in the team we would currently so be in the relegation zone.
Play Luongo regularly alongside Borysiuk and we'll see him get better and better. He does it Internstionally on a regular basis. |  | | |

For me Chery is struggling, the opposition seem to have worked out how to stifle him by restricting his space and being physical. Unless we can work out how to overcome this, I think we should be open to offers in January.
Luongo, has been very good at times but lacks a little consistency. We have to work out how to best utilse Cousins, Borysiuk, Luongo and Chery as well as the desire of many fans to play with two wingers. Can't fit them all in and some want us to play two strikers, which restricts those talents even more. Borysiuk behind Cousins and Luongo, two wingers and one striker Polter to start and Sylla to come on would be my preference. Chery to be available to replace Luongo or Cousins. | | | |
