Clearing the air

Alright! Some of you guys who is playing for the team now maybe a-bit confuse with actually what the formation is. So i'm taking this free time that i have to let you guys know how we are actually playing!

The back 4 - The back line is of the same style with 2 full backs and 2 centre backs. But what is difference is that our 2 centre backs one will be in a much forward postion and while the other will be the sweeper just infront of the goalkeeper. The one at the front (liang or norman) will be clearing the 1st ball if it drop behind the DM and of course the sweeper (omar) will clear up the ball if it ever dropped to his side of the pitch!

The 2 DMs - I would say we dont really play with 2 DMs (1dm and 1 mc) but i would try to make it a point to have 2 because due to stamina and pace. Our team is good but not that good to last the full 90! so if we have 1 DM we will normally have circumstances with the team defending with around 5 personnel + GK (1 full back will bomb forward leaving a gap at the back) which is quite bad when opp counter! Thus the emphasis of 2 DM is important for the team. Common people playing there would be Jackson, Laphang, Norman, Kenny, Kahwoon, Thaddeus and as well our guest player KengYang.

The Attacking Midfielder - Free-role is what we are giving him in this modern game of football. He will drift to the right, to the left, to the front and remain center if need be. He will decided where his movement should be to aid the team. Passing, assisting the centre forward and maintain position is his main role in the team. Common people there would be Kiong, Derek, WeiMing and Jackson.

Wings - See what Yiwen, Jinchuen and Manfred have done? They are the best wingers our team have and should i even say the main source of attack for the team. Their speed and skills is what bring the team forward in every attack and i would say the wings is important in this formation that we used. With only 1 centre forward they would be required to go into the box to when the ball is being brought forward from the other side to act as a 2nd striker. (to know more about how wings play just look at Man city and Barcelona. Silva and Messi playing style rather similar)

Centre Forward - Can i just say this is the position where we lack the talent? In Singapore everyone wants to be a striker but how many are there really out there? Finding a natural goalscorer isn't easy but i'm glad we are able to find a few unorthodox striker for our team. Aiding in attack as well as defending from the top is what our CF do and actually he is doing quite a good job at that! People commonly play there are Kahwoon and Boonwee

Alright, i hope this post will clear up some confusion that how our team play. We would mostly play like this unless there is a point to be make or we are chasing a losing game.


Kambeng!
