i wish someone told me 8 years ago that we'd be playing aimless ppungfooty in russia and time is indeed the flattest circle
We are facing Honduras B team who hasn't even bothered to train and we are struggling to get some shots on target. Pathetic. Our players are all over the place playing like headless chicken. We should easily be winning this match.
He's exactly the type of players we needed for a long time. He knows how to cut inside. He knows how to play spaces. He knows how to pass dangerously. It seems like HHC gets along pretty well with him.
Can't shoot either. I hate that he thinks he's Beckham and then fires the ball to the crowd. SHM still shite for the KNT. :/
Our team hasn't had a single dangerous pass so far this match. Completely lacking in the final third.
i don't know what the purpose of this friendly is tbh. with the starting 11, it feels like an audition for the last fringe spots on the team. i'm guessing it was arranged as an easy prep match a la tunisia in 2014, but even then- it's a match where if you get a result, it feels expected and if you lose (like we did against tunisia), it's a big confidence hit going into the world cup against much better teams. getting embarrassed is fine, but we need to play against better opposition
HT thoughts: 1. KYH - playing to displace LY as the starter. Well done thus far. 2. Hong Chul - playing his way off the squad. Truly horrible. 3. JSJ/JWY - I would do anything to drop both and bring back LCM. 4. LCY - skills are still there. But with how congested we're playing on the right, I'm unsure how match fit he is right now. I actually wanted to see him switch over to the left more. Then he can dictate play. But with our tactics, he was largely a non-factor. 5. HHC - good. 6. SHM - bad. 7. LSW - not a starter but definitely a 20 minute sub that we need. I'm actually surprised by how well he's been playing. But he's not a starter. 8. JSH/KYK - not tested. Overall, poor execution has been a bigger issue than tactics in the first half.
HHC did okay in the beginning. Seems like he already used all of his stamina up. SHM is the worst along with LCY in the final 3rd imo today.
I'm still pissed at our fans for throwing yut at our boys. Why would anyone want to represent Korea if you're going to be treated like shit. Brazil lost to Germany 7 - 1 on their home turf and I don't see any of their fans wanting to bring their players down. Our team is shit, but our players are a byproduct from the KFA infrastructure. Our players can only do so much when more talented nations are training just as hard. They have an impossible challenge with massive potential for embarrassment yet again. I would think twice if I wanted to represent a nation turning their backs on me when the situation is already hopeless. For the record, I'm a huge fan of LSW and want him to succeed. I hope he improves to match his aggression.
That's not my point. The biggest problem right now is that there is no-one to hold up the ball in their area. Son, Hwang, Lee are all counterattacking palyers who benefits off out-and-out striker who holds up the play like Suk, and without that we are just taking random runs.
Agreed with most, but I thought Lee was just clueless on the right. It almost seems like he cannot keep up with the pace of the match.
Coach shin’s long ball strategy is getting annoying. Please sack this guy and replace him with a bag of sand
Do you realistically think we can play through our midfield with JSJ and JWY in the middle? Without KSY or KJC, we need to accept bypassing our CMs.
1. Lee Seung-woo played well. Perhaps he should've been called up and integrated with the national team much earlier instead. 2. Our entire backline besides Ko Yo-han sucks donkey nuts. 3. Son+Hwang two top isn't clicking well, definitely not better than Son+Lee Keun-ho. 4. Lee Chung-yong's form is painful to watch. 5. Team communication still lacking and still problem. Too many pass misses that break up the rhythm/tempo/attacking end as well as shooting chances. 6. Jung Woo-young, what's new? same shit different day, easily gets lost on the pitch, can't provide cover, can't man-mark, can't pass for shit. Why is he still with the national team again? 7. Hong Chul behind Kim Min-woo in the pecking order. 8. It pains me to see Lee Chung-yong's depleted form.
