Adel Taarabt is convinced QPR have the quality to lift themselves away from the dropzone.

QPR face high-flying Everton after the international break and Taarabt believes they have the quality in the squad to get out of trouble at the wrong end of the table.

"We have two weeks where we have to work hard, focus and, hopefully, we can get then our first win of the season against Everton," Taarabt told the club's official website.

"You can see that we've got the quality in the group. We have a lot of good players - but I just think we have to start games better. If you are going behind all of the time, it's very difficult.

"I know we keep saying it, but we haven't had the same starting 11 twice this season. Every game, someone gets injured.

"For the manager it's really difficult, because when he makes substitutions, it's not for tactical reasons but for injuries."
