Assists: Steven, Yuhao, HongYun, Alan, Bing Xian, Peng Yong
It was a long prematch talk, longest we ever had, attempting to bounce back from a disastrous 3-0 defeat. We had a gameplan and we stuck to the gameplan. Lets not mention about whether a not it was effective or enjoyable, but at least, we achieved the goal we set. That itself was worth celebrating even though one may argue that it was an easy game.
442 we had, passing game we set. First time in our history did we enjoy majority of the possession comfortably, although it was largely amongst the defenders. It may not be a good way to play, i admit we may just die against faster teams, but at least we now know, we can have the ability to play kind of game, another option other than our targetman searching long balls.
A little elaboration from my own point of view. Of course, for me, i enjoy such a game play. I really enjoyed soccer today and i must say its been a long time. We've had so many 5-0 6-0 wins but none of them was enjoyable as today's, well, thats for me at least. The benefit of passing is not only to have more possession, but also, from the first 5 minutes of gameplay, it portrayed a confident team and that will have some effect on the mindset of the opponents. In short, it was a small mind fuck. Also, it improves individual's confidence by touching the ball more often, especially in the first few minutes of the game where most professional teams tend to play simple and let everyone have a feel of the ball. Most importantly, i enjoy possession football.
We might have overdone it in defence. The main aim is to play passing with the midfielders more often and that should be the next thing we look to. Definitely i agree that it is useless just passing around defence. By the way im saying this not to attack shuheng's words but just to voice my opinion and opinions are important for the long term running of this team. Keep everyth to urself and we will split one day. I do hope to play regularly for long.
And so Alan opened up the scoring after a long spell of possession from BPFC. Receiving Yuhao's flick on, Alan cut the opposing sweeper before sending a blast straight above the keeper who had no chance of saving it. 1-0.
It didnt take long for them to reply. For the second half of the first, we were pinned in our own halves for the high pressing game from opponents, the short passing didnt work. That was a time where we really had to play long ball down the flanks but we didnt. And so they replied through Mark after Kai admited that it was partly his mistake to let the ball through. We went into the half at 1-1.
Stamina changed the game and it was almost a one sided second half. A small tweak in tactics saw us playing with 3 up front in Alan, Py and Yuhao, as Steven occupies the 3rd centre mid role. Be it tactics or stamina, PengYong scored early on from a tight angle as he put the ball to the side netting of the far post.
Alan soon made it 3-1 when 2 strikers appeared on the left side together. A one-on-one situation saw him convert his chance comfortably. So where was the right striker?
PengYong soon missed a clear cut chance after placing the ball to the near post. The striker later admitted that he wanted to trick the keeper by not placing it to the far post.
4th goal was a long range effort from Steven. Their outfield converted keeper could only attempt to use his legs but to no avail.
The 5th saw Alan claimed the first hattrick of the year. Good work from PY and a long low cross found Alan totally unmarked on the far post and he only had to tap it in.
6th was from yet another tight angle as Yun's throw in found Yuhao who inturn found the far post.
Pee-peep--PEEP! Full time and 6-1.
Oh and yun, u asked if ur running up and down was effective. Kai didnt hear your qns. He told me after e game that it was really useful and effective..

I see a hard time to choose the MOTM. Personally i thot there should be an option of -everyone played equally well- but i wont put that. Just choose ur player of the day. MOTM must now keep for ball for the next match, in return for his free game.
Club funds stand at $4. Today's game costs a little more at $60.
There will be games on the next 2 weekends if nothing goes wrong. Next saturday against that ex-bpian company team. Nxt nxt sunday against a NTU hall team. To be confirmed.
