Fabricio Coloccini: “I do not have any worries about our attacking.

“I know we have a side that is capable of creating chances and scoring goals and you will see that in the next few games.

“It was difficult on Monday because I thought QPR played a very good game and prevented us from creating too many chances.

“They pressured the ball very well. But I don’t think there is any issues in terms of us creating things – we scored three goals in the two games before that.

“We have very good creative players. We have strong attackers and strong midfielders.

“I really don’t think there will be a problem in terms of scoring.

“Things have been good so far but we’re not getting carried away.

“It is still very early, but we had a good start last season and that helped us and the same thing has happened again. It has given us something to build on in the next few weeks and I hope we keep going and taking points.

“Our home form will be important, but it is always good when you are doing well in away games as well.”
