Time: 3.00pm
But we started around 3.30pm cause "some people" decided to take their own sweet time even though he knows we were late. But it was actually faizal's fault cause he got the wrong bus and walk at the wrong direction.
In his defence, there were two 190Cs! How would he know that there are 2 190Cs! Haha!
Venue: Punggol Secondary School
Opponent: Some chinese team wearing orange jerseys... Maybe they were trying to emulate the Oranje "total football". But all they did was play long balls! But it was effective though! Haha!
Result: 1-2
Goalscorer: Syawal
A little bit suprised with the goalscorer here... Left foot somemore! What are the chances!
Match Analysis:
Overall it was a decent game. Finally Parthi played his first match since he went NS! He was a little lost in the game for the first few minutes. Blamed it on "lack of match practice" he said. Haha! Alright big ears! We believe you! Haha!
Apparently the lost boys always struggle against a team who likes to play long ball. Due to the fact that most of our players can't head the ball very well. With the exception of Mohan. Haha!
Our midfielders had a tough time that day againts the orange wannabees. We had no answers to their movements and one, two touches play. To add on to that, one of thier strikers dropped back a few times to collect the ball in midfield this was creating a 3v2 situation in midfiled. We were out-numbered. Plus Faizal was having a bad game that with his poor touches and lack of pressing and tackles. Luckily Syawal was on form that day with his passing and tackling. He stepped up that day.
If only Faizal had change his formation from 442 to 451, it could have been a different story. We could have dominated the midfield if we were even in numbers in midfield.
Our fullbacks were having a torrid time down the flanks. The opponents wingers were always running at the fullbacks all day long. To make things worse, they had thier fullbacks helping them with thier overlapping runs. So it was a 2v1 situation for our fullbacks. Poor Fazlan. Kept falling down! Haha!
Maybe our wingers could have help out a bit in terms of marking our opponent's fullbacks when they are overlapping. Or our centreback could have provided more cover for our fullbacks by going behind our fullbacks. So that in case the wingers has gotten pass our fullbacks, our centreback is there to put pressure on the winger.
Attacking wise, we did okay. Jage was a handful down the right flanks with his runs. Emilio was running up and down the left flank. Helping out in defence and giving options when we are on the attack. Rickie tried his best with a few shots here and there and providing through balls. If only he had more support... he could have made more impact. As for Ayyub... as usual got chances but couldn't convert his chances to goals. Time to bring your goalscoring boots son!
Man of the match? You decide. Steff for his amazing acrobatic saves or Jage for attacking display on the right flank or Syawal for finally stepping up and being counted?
