match report

score: Carebear United 0 [Name]Less 2 (match abandoned after 35 mins)

scorers: yewtze 1, tay 1

attendance: 11.000

review: modest scoreline, due to tay's off day and a shortage of playing time. the carebears were without their star winger, but our side missed half a team, so go figure.

first real keeper in wee leong, with bob and sum in defence; yewtze took the dm slot, while guest player salas played behind the ever-marauding tay. salas was soon taken over by jx, who played the entire match without injury. last minute missing entry in wee theng, who disappeared. marcus had duty.

tactics in mind included a gameplan for long shots from bob, and more passing. and for a few moments, it worked.

sum was awesome in defence; together with bob the care attack was subdued. as mentioned tay had an off day, squandering chances he would normally have devoured. however, it was most probably due to lack of pressure. the bears were so pegged back and daunted by sum that tay was perpetually surrounded by two or three men, perhaps trying to emulate the treatment being dished out by our side. yew tze played well, complementing tay on a few occasions including the assist.

a beautiful cutback pass was slotted in by yew tze after nearly 20 mins of deadlock. tay got ball, weaved through two defenders and found the defensive midfielder for an emphatic finish. minutes later, the favour was returned as a through pass from yz was slammed home by tay. carebears were demoralised soon after, and the result was never in doubt. could have been more if bob wasn't injured.

match was then abandoned due to a pitch invasion by supporters, mostly nie legends players who wanted to play.

manofthematch: sum

faultless defending. we are getting an embarassing assortment of riches in defence in leo, wt and bob, but sum takes the cake.

quoteofthematch: "oh crap the half-naked guy is here.. die liao" nie legend player/spectator comment during the match when tay finally ripped off his shirt.

conclusion: we are really short-handed in attack. need zp badly. bob has a loose kneecap; he can't shoot that much anymore. more dimensions required, none forthcoming as for now. still, with a solid defence, we can rely on tay for the short term solution.
