Guyz next game on Vesak Day..

Hi dudes..Next game is at Turf City Field 1 on thursday @11am..Ok pls try to make ur way there..there's shuttle service from both amk and clementi..msg me for shuttle service timings..If not u can take 74 from amk..Wear Yellow..Of late the attendance has been horrible..I understand most of u'll have valid reasons..But try to inform me abit early so i can make necessary arrangement to get back up..Abt todays game..Was an evenly matched affair..Kamikaze gave us a tough fight..It was good tt the game was clean and there was good sportsmanship behaviour throughout the game from both side.the refereeing was abit disappointing and rest assured u wont be seeing that fella again..Was a good goal by mariachi and defensively though shaky at times we managed to hold them at bay..Special thanks to all those guyz who helped deputise my missing players..Kumarran and his two friends/Zaki/Mathew..I feel we played preety well considering this was a makeshift team..Ezek had a excellent game giving their defenders a nightmare..Ryan showed a safe pair of hands and gave the defence confidence..Overall it was a 50-50 game and we nicked it..Well done guyz.I've decided to put Mathew and Kumarran on standby to join us if the attendance continues being bad.mathew was a classic example of a solid striker.though he didnt get many chances, he created some on his own and fought hard for most of the challenges..Hopefully the next game the turnout will be betta from our players..Have a gr8 week fellas..We'll meet in the next game..

Well done boys..

Guyz this weeks game is tentatively against kamikaze at northview sec sat 3pm..wear green..But pls look out for my update tomorrow..The league organiser has given me an option of resuming the league this sunday at eastview sec(beside tampines station) 9am..Against campaign..Can u'll leave comments on the tagboard which one u'll prefer by tuesday evening..I need to make a decision quick..Anyways my msg will reach u'll on wednesday with the confirmed details..Anyways well done for last weeks game..Was a good performance overall..I would like to highlight a few for praise..Mariachi had a excellent game and capped it with a well taken goal..Won every tackle and showed the opponents whos boss..And still had time for some fancy skills..Amrish turned villain to hero..Though he gave away the first goal(probably due to kavin's briyani at northpoint) he showed sweetly how a simple penalty is taken..Did u'll see how he became a child when i called out his name to take the penalty..Also deputising in goal, he made an excellent save which even stevie will be proud of...Siva though ur place is under threat my stevie, the goal was well taken and we hope to see more of tt..I still think u were aiming the top corner..Lavin good goal and a hardworking performance but a point to note is tt at times u were dribbling unnecessarily..(u can holla wadever u want on the tagboard)..Special thanks to Fahan who played excellently at left back..Stuck to his job well..Vishnu, this is the first time i saw u running so fast da..u simply outran their defence at times..we'll love to see more of tt..It was great to have Stevie back though it was only for a game..Though he had very lil to do during the game..guess his presence was a big morale boost to us.And his mazy dribbles has put a big question mark on siva's kawabanga future.guyz lets not get complacent and try to work harder in the oncoming games..Have a gr8 week and to the fans of liverpool...U'll neva walk alone!

Hi guyz game this week @Northview Sec

Hi guyz the game this week is at northview sec..remember the fake nus team we played..ya same place..3pm..wear yellow..try to find ur way there..Those who wanna meet up be at yishun station by 2.30pm..And if u are not coming let me know atleast by thursday so tt i can make sure we dun end up under strength like last week..Anyways last weeks game was a case of David vs Groliath..We gotta admit tt we were well beaten by a much experienced and brilliant side..I still feel tt if we had ppl like doctor,viknesh,pream and a standard keeper we could have given them a tough fight..Though we gotta agree tt they were betta we gotta rectify our flaws tt were evident in our game..Firstly we let them dictate the pace of the game thruout..Secondly we gave up quite easily in the individual battles(including me)..In future i hope this doesnt happen again..Regardless of the opponents strength we ought to give them a fight..Our team has shown time and time again tt we neva give up til the end..Games like Dunman,Charlie and the Khalsa showed great character on our part and i hope the tradition will be maintained in future games..I've got no complaints against anyone of ur performances as we were all outplayed by them most of the time..But i firmly believe tt if he hadnt given up so easily we could have given them problems..Maybe it was due to the fact tt their brand of football totally demolished us..A few pointers to learn from them..They passed the ball all over the pitch instead of pumping up the ball unnecessarily..Their shielding of the ball was excellent and for a malay team they really chased for all the balls..They had options all over the park and it was nice to see how they attacked as a team instead of individual showings..They were also not afraid to try shots and played ball to feet football.we shud start trying to string passes together and bring the ball up as a team so tt we can defend as a team together.We shud try to emulate some of these points and improve our brand of football..We tend to rush our play by pumping balls and end of losing them..We must try to keep ball for longer..If need to pass back to the defenders..But make sure u make an option to receive the ball back if not amrish is just gonna clear it for safety.the centre backs need to be more confident in receiving passes and playing the ball outta defence instead of clearing them.Viknesh is a gd example.he doesnt rush clearances unless itz an emergency.but at the same time i'm against fancy play when its not needed esp in defence...Dini dat one is for u..my full backs gotta get more involved in the attacks but at the same time not neglecting ur defensive duties..My wingers need to be more productive..Sometimes learn to move to the centre and play ard..We are far too rigid..Esp Siva try to join in the centre when we attack because sometimes u're isolated on the flank and their defender can mark u out easily leaving us with no option to pass to u..Strikers also need to drop more often to give option to build up play..But at the same time make sure u harass their defence even when u dun have the ball..Sakthi stop running away from the ball!!We're playing very predictable football..Either pass to ezek/doc on the flanks and expect some magic or play the obvious thru ball..Sometimes this kinda things become very predictable and experienced teams will kill us off easily..Mariachi and kathi need to communicate betta..Because u guys control the overall play..U guys need to dictate the tempo..Sometimes try to keep ball longer or make simpler passes back to the defence..Rajesh was a good example for slowing down play when needed..Guyz dun think tt i'm always criticising u'll everytime but it felt shitty losing like tt and i dun just want everyone to concede tt they were betta than us and not be affected by the whacking..If we wanted to i believe we could have changed the game..But itz ok guyz it was a good lesson learnt and we need to show we can play good football too..Heads up and lets look forward to a solid performance for the next game.Let our feet do the talking.Take care Boys..

Overdue review...

Hi guys..its been a while since i updated the happenings..Well done for both games guyz..3-2 win over galacticos was really gd..but we have to agree tt they are really a good team..If only the pitch was betta they would have given us a harder time..But nevertheless a win is a win so well done..i see tt my strikers have been putting in alot more effort..ttz really encouraging..Secondly the 5-5 draw against the Khalsa veterans was also a good game..Superb hatrick by Ezek..must admit tt proabably at their age we'll be drinking beer under some coffee shop..but guess their experience played a big part in them getting the draw..I was pleased tt despite going down repeatedly we neva gave up fighting and really gave them a torrid time..Guess maricahi's absence was felt in both games but still i see tt the team is gelling more game after game..Looks bright for the future..let's welcome the new siva into the team..try not to give him too much stick la..He's much younger than us..so dun intimidate him too much..Guess he was having a difficult time with opponents much bigger than him but he does have potential which we saw in the galacticos game..Ok i'll keep u'll updated abt the game this week..Probably on saturday...Ok good luck to those having exams..Have a gr8 week guyz..
