 This position is not at all clear, and very nebulous. Where would you take the Queen?

I think Qb8. The idea is to play d5 and I think the king escapes to c8 after Qe5 Rb6

How do you think Black can create counterplay?

Against Qe5 I think the idea would be to play f5 and then Nf7. 
The line I was thinking goes

1. Qb8 Rb6 - threatening Rxb2

2 b3 and I don’t see what black can do to prevent d5

they could also try

1… Bf8

2. d5 Rd6 if dxe6 Qxe4

3. Re5 and I think white is good.
