What a match

As you people can refer to Daryl's previous post which was a report of the match, i shall not attempt to spam your minds with yet another form of a match summary.
To start of, everyone who is reading this very line give yourself a huge round of appaulse. As any Tom, Dick or pig(pardon my england) can tell, improvement was evident. From the defence to attack it was a much better performance by everyone and it definetly bodes well for the future. Lets start from the attack, for the first time i could feel that the midfielders and strikers were linking up with each other well and neat, crisp passes were exchanged. On a personal note, i feel that the chemistry between Shawn and me is growing and i realise that both our playing styles complement each other well as either of us will cover for the other when one is challenging for or with the ball as seen in the match against Sapphire FC(screw you Daryl, your Gerrard Lampard analysis is so wrong). Next, midfielders. Jethro did a very good job and is turning out to be our Michael Essien as he covers every blade of grass with endless and tireless running. Well done mate! Eh clap la you poker faced readers. Wei Ian is almost an exact replica of Jethro abeit a more defensive minded type and is starting to reach his peak form which was achieved before the exams. Moving on the defence. Another makeshift back 4 lined up yet again but managed to cope under relentless attacks from over-aged players which underlines their crediblity. Maybe the only thing about the defence that is not up to standard yet is the clearance. I not talking about the length of clearance here. Anyone can clear a ball, its clearing the ball to a useful position that is worth mentioning. If you see a teammate in space why not pass it instead of punting the ball upfield for a un-intended target to chase? This can be worked on and undoubtly takes time and more matches to perfect. In conclusion it was a very good try from all Slayers and we could count ourselves unlucky not to come away with anything(think water puddle, post and dubious penalty decisions)

Next as we constantly suffer from shortage of subs and with Yinglun wanting to do some wheeling dealing in the free transfer market i shall mention some players worth taking notice of.

Out(as suggested by anon souce): * & **

In: I would suggest Gabriel from ACS as he seems the responisible and commited type. He is extremely versatile and therefore can play as midfielder, defender and target striker(in order of effectiveness). With his considerable size and speed he would be useful on the wing and as a demolition player. A centre midfield pairing of Yinglun and him would be a seemingly impregnable fortress that practically destorys all attacks.
In: Ghalib. No introduction needed here as you all saw for yourself on Saturday. Would be a extremely reliable goalkeeper leaving the outfield players with a ease of mind to concentrate on their own jobs. Also, he had previously played for CCKSS in the heart of defence and is another helluva defender(think Chien Ming).

Lastly as ACSians had left for China and would not be back till the 23rd and as the match against Khalifah FC will take place before they come back i would like to suggest the following formation( with the suggestions of a few Slayers inculded).
4-5-1
...............................................Kovan
...............................................Jeremy
Kamil......................................................Shawn.....................Reuben
...............................Yinglun

Lucas.....................Zi.Xiang...................Ming.........................Daryl
...................................................GK

*If Shawn has to go OBS Sabah during this period then Yinglun will take his place with Andy replacing No.11 as CDM.
