SFA-Servers vs. Chinese Street Soccer Pros

FT: 3 - 4 (HT: 3 - 1)

Our Goal Scorers:

Chris S.

Matthew

Francis

Goal Tally:

Francis - 3

Matthew - 3

Clement - 1

Chris S. - 1

Summary: We played well until we conceded 1 goal. From then the defence became messier and gradually lost its shape when we changed to 5-3-2 in the 2nd half.

Views: Our 5-3-2 is actually effective, it can transition to our trial 5-4-1, which led to 3 goals. 5-4-1 is somewhat effective because the midfield is 'crowded' and there is plenty of support.

The problem with 5-3-2 on our match day 4 is that there is no support from the wingbacks in attack after transitioning from trial 5-4-1.

Our offside trap didn't work, we relied too much on that today. Suggestion is to minimize offside trap tactics (not totally make them disappear) and promote close marking of forwards by centre-backs.
Wingbacks should also help cover centre-backs that have been beaten by attackers by becoming the '2nd defender'.
Centre-backs should make the forwards work harder. They should prevent the ball from bouncing as it will make it harder to clear. We should all go to the ball and not let the ball go to us.

Match Day Sunday 3

SFA Servers vs. Douglas' Fren'S Team

(3 - 1) (HT 1 - 1)

Scorers:
Kenneth Koh (O.G.) (15)
Matthew Lim (35, 75)
Clement Bey (85)

O.G. by KK is based on 'gabra-ness' on his part where he had the space and time to actually kick the ball out of play (to concede a corner or throw in). He took a gamble by passing it back to the GK. This sudden pass was not prepared for our GK to receive and it rolled into the net.

2 Goals from Matthew: 1st goal was good effort from left wing with Aloy having the last touch which fell onto Matthew's path and he calmly shot the ball with his outside boot towards the left post goal area. 2nd goal was an outstanding assist by Clement - his through ball found Matthew in space and powered strike beat the goalkeeper and into the net.

1 Goal from Clement: An attacking attempt was cleared by Mike and it soared to Clement's path who ran up with the bouncing ball, before chesting it for control, outpacing his marker and placed a powered shot past the goal keeper.

Miss of the day: Francis missed a sitter after a good wing cross from right flank. His shot agonizingly flew wide while he was a few yards infront of goal.

Goal Tally:

Francis - 2

Matthew - 2

Clement - 1

SFA Servers vs. Matthew's Friends Team

1 - 3 (HT 0 - 2)

Scorer for our side: Francis Charles (Assist by Clement)

1st Half Analysis
1st conceded goal through our left flank; LB caused opponent RM to be onside. This caused a defensive scramble of the RB and CB's to try to block the 2 forwards receiving the ball but failed and they scored a good shot to the bottom left corner.

2nd conceded goal through our left flank again; same LB, same situation. RB had to track back opponent RF as the CB marking him was left dead for pace (after LB had made the offside blunder). RB tried his best to block but failed and rolled into the net attempting to block.

2nd Half Analysis
3rd conceded goal through corner set piece; no one marked running midfielder who was receiving the ball at the 20 yard box box line. LB had to leave marker to try to block the shot by the midfielder. GK partly to blame as he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.

GOAL for our side; Clement's cross shot was met by Francis who tried to head it but from my view it looked like it hit his shoulder and looped over the opponent GK's head.
