Harry Redknapp defends Queens Park Rangers tactics

Redknapp defends QPR tactics

Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has insisted that he will stick with his side's new formation, despite the heavy defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

The 67-year-old returned to White Hart Lane for the first time since being sacked by Spurs in 2012, but saw Rangers lose 4-0 to Mauricio Pochettino's side.

Redknapp has said that he is not ready to ditch his 3-5-2 system yet.

"I don't know if [the system] is a problem," he told London 24.

"We played okay last week playing that well, it is about energy really. We were slower on the ball and were off the pace a bit - in certain areas we weren't sharp enough. We have to work harder both with and without the ball.

"I don't think it is systems. That system allows me to get two strikers into the team which I was trying to do."

QPR face Burton Albion in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday.
