Fluid United FC 8 vs 0 Team Chen

<p>Trying to find the entrance to the pitch proved to be a bigger<br />challenge than the game itself. The opponents were late as they went<br />to a different place but when they finally arrived, we had probably<br />tired ourselves out with the pre-game routine.<br /><br />I believe the team talk has begun to sound like a broken recorder.<br />Shape, communication and pass to feet. Reference was made to the<br />previous week where a great team effort crafted a win for us. Reminder<br />to work hard for the team was made. A first was also created when a<br />NEW Captain armband was introduced and handed proudly to a surprised<br />Kee. A vice captain was also named to ensure that, because of our<br />rotation, someone will still be there to lead and this was Yew Boon.<br /><br />Starting lineup.<br /><br />Sherman<br /><br />Daryl Kee Roger Jerome<br /><br />Poh Jeff Andy Harold Henry<br /><br />Yew Boon<br /><br />From the start, it was evident that we were the better team. We<br />managed to get an early goal when a long throw from Daryl found Harold<br />who headed in. Then a corner from Poh was headed in by Yew Boon to<br />make it 2-0 within 15 mins. We controlled the game well and made it<br />3-0 when Colin beat the keeper at the near post. Yew Boon and Colin<br />added one more each to make it 5-0 to end the first half. We were so<br />well on top in the first half. Harold had so many shots that didnt hit<br />the target. Colin did too. The defence was really worked and Sherman<br />was getting bored.<br /><br />Half time talk was a reminder not to let yourselves down. We were in a<br />similar situation before when we were 4-0 up in our previous game and<br />this time, we cannot make the same mistake and have to keep the<br />intensity up.<br /><br />We did and promptly added another one when Yew Boon headed in from<br />another Poh corner. The battle seems to be on between Colin and Yew<br />Boon to see who can score more. Colin added 2 more to the game when he<br />was put through. We had so many chances that I really cannot list them<br />all down. Henry had a chance. Poh was through and shot straight at the<br />keeper. Harold commented that we could even win the game with 10 men.<br />With due respect to the opponent, they tried hard, but we were<br />definitely the better side. Final score 8-0 and a clean sheet. Wow.<br /><br />Good performance all round but some sloppy passing still exist. Maybe<br />it was complacency or tiredness, but I feel that we can try to keep<br />possession better. The defence did well when asked to. Sherman made<br />saves when called upon. Jiunn did well when asked to play centre back.<br />Jason put in his usual hard running after some months out. Yiong<br />contributed as well but was guilty of simulation. Pui. Both strikers<br />took their chances well. Poh had a couple of assists.<br /><br />In such a game, it is really tough to single out an individual who<br />made the difference. But for this week, MOM goes to the guy who scored<br />4 goals. Well done, Colin.<br /><br />See you guys next week. It is getting tougher to be in this role.
