We can second guess and all that. But Bento and his tactics are not the issue for this game. The players are missing easy passes and shots. Players have to execute and those simple things should be done easily by caliber of players we have.
Troll, I think we all agree that HHC has the potential to be a good fullback. Definitely has the athleticism, workrate, and even technical skills to convert to that position.
I know it's just us talking but HHC becoming a RB...imagine how many penalties he might give up...lol
What a powerhouse performance. The other teams are shitting in their pants. Legs shaking. And we cant forget SK played two other soccer powerhouses Phillipines and Kyrgyzstan (no disrespect).
Exactly. We all know they are capable of accurate passing and spacing but they get nervous (as do I for them) anytime the ball gets near them. 3 touches for what should be a 1 touch control, first touch into an opponent and not away from, soft passes that open the midfield wide open for a counter. How do you solve composure?
1-0 FT, our performance was worse than vs the Philippines. Another 1-0 win, circa 2015 all over again.
It's because robotic technology isn't too advanced yet in 2019. Give it few more years for KFA to fix it and HHC will become the perfect footballing machine.
the only good takeaway i can think of is.. we out shot kyrgyzstan 19-11 and kyrgyzstan outshot china 10-9. other than that, i wish i had a different favorite sport...
And the players we have, played in bigger crowds, a lot of them played in bigger tournament (WC), played against better opposition. I have no idea what that performance was. But how do professionals who played in Europe and one of the strongest leagues in Asia miss easy short passes and easy short goals. You can't blame that one on the manager.
