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.
