QPR went into the match challenging for third position, and having scored at least one goal in each of their previous 31 Championship fixtures, while O’Neill’s team were looking to bounce back from successive defeats. The Stoke manager reveals how he adapted his tactics for a game in which he knew his side would have less possession. He explains his plan to stifle the threat posed for the hosts by creative outlets Ilias Chair and Chris Willock, and outlines how he used Mario Vrancic and Romaine Sawyers to unlock his own team’s attack in transition. Ultimately, O’Neill’s team won 2-0 despite having only 35 per cent possession. As such, this Masterclass gives a fascinating insight into employing a counter-attacking game plan against strong opposition.
