Match Analysis:
Hmm... where do we begin? Overall it was a poor game for our standard. Conceding 5 goals at the back. It was a game where individual mistakes cost us the game. But, luckily, there were positives from the match too. Like how we were able to dominate the match for a period of time, considering that the Super Reds were more superior to us in terms of technical abilities.
Defensive wise, we were able to play the offside trap successfully early up in the game. Our line was way up to the half way line! Meaning if one of the Super Reds break the offside trap, our defenders will have alot of chasing to do as there is alot of space between the defenders and the goalie. We have to give credits to Rickie here for commanding and organising the backline. Could we have found a Mohan replacement here? Haha.
Unfortunately, the Super Reds manage to break our offside trap with a clever attacking move. /Their wingers start to pump long diagonal balls behind the defence and in between our centerback and fullbacks. This cause us a few problems cause firstly, the ball was pump into space and no one was there to clear the ball away. Secondly, their strikers were too fast for our fullbacks. What we could have done was that to pull our fullback closer to our center backs. By doing this, their wingers would have to pump the diagonal balls in between our fullbacks and the outside line which is less dangerous.
Lets move on to the midfield now. As usual, Syawal was doing his tackling and spreading passes all over the pitch, trying his best to have an influence to the game. Kashif was doing alright in the beginning till he got too tired. Haha. Soul survivor. Jage was trying his best to cause some problems down the flanks with his running and crossing. And he manage to get an assist! Haha! But he was a little unlucky to have missed his penalty. Not your day today mate! Haha! Ayyub worked hard today down the left flank. Any fullback would be lucky to have him as his winger caused he do alot of defending. But he needs to buck up on his 1v1 skills and the final ball. No offence mate. =) Last but not least in midfield, emilio. He too worked hard but didnt get enough of the ball to do some serious damage.
Lastly, strikers. Finally we had Hidayat. He injected alot of pace to our forward line up. Because of him, we had one of the opponent sent off and a penalty. He was a handful for the defenders. Faizal did okay today. Scored two lucky goals. Luck was on his side. Haha.
But lets learn from our mistakes here lads. To stay compact when defending and open up as wide as possible when attacking. The wingers should run on the outside instead of running in to stretch the opponents defence. Defenders should come closer together as to deny strikers space Till then enjoy your holidays =).
