Subject: World Cup Qualifications

I can't explain why we lost. It just seems unfair, maybe it is injustice of match engine. Moore and Tak Him had a lot of 100 per cent situations but only one goal. I'm quite helplessness right now. Look below:

very good Shooting outstanding
excellent Passing incredible
incredible Defending outstanding

I'm really disapointed because it's 5th lose in a row. I wish that HK will defeat Andorra next week!

Their chances were all very good while ours were mixed (5 good chances maybe). I think it is normal they scored twice, but that we only scoring once was harsh. 2-2/2-3 are probably fairer.

I find the positioning when our winger (Chi Man) had the ball strange. Balls were too often passed to Cheng Moore near the angles of the boxes where he could do little, and subsequently possession was lost.

And our wings were not well protected so their winger could cause havoc from time to time.

As we faced strong oppositions recently, Losing 5 in a row is not that bad. But this one should probably ended up better.

I know what you mean about Chi Man's positioning and you're right. I already know what was wrong and I could expect it. I was trying to use this holein Andorra defense setting to attack them effectively. I think it was good idea, but I didn't predict that Chi Man would pass the ball to Moore very early and Moore could do nothing then.

I'm sure that you saw our tragic defense in this match. I was really shocked about it - i think that in majority of Andorra's attack our defs were helpless, slow and useless. It was the second match that we had an advantage and we couldn't use it as good as we want. So the main problem is defense I think.

Andorra is our nemesis :(

Well done Bartektyrka despite the loss.

Thank you for your support. I'm very disappointed of this match. It was 'the replay' of the last week match. We started with new tactic - but we lost a goal, so the tactic has been changed to previous (the same it was last week). I think it was better match with Andorra than last one. We've got a lot of 100% situations but we couldn't use them. I'm really angry at myself.

So, we will fight for 4. place in WCQ :) I had a great hope that we could be at 2. or 3. place in this group. I'm sorry that we can't achieve better position :/

Sometimes you got to be amazed by the bad luck Hong Kong NT has been suffering.
3 players in the same position getting injured in the first half could possibly be a record.

It was so strange! I have never seen something like this. We've got some kind of bad luck. I still can't belive in this injuries. This match showed we could win or draw because we wasn't be worse.

We should be Sweden's nightmare right now. I moved forward deffence set and it worked - Sweden had 5 offsides.

After very nice first half we were just destroyed in the second. It's a shame because we could even win first half. We lacked skills and - what is the most important - form and stamina.

Srbija vs HK 7:1 (2:1)

How come we lack stamina?

Also defenders (badly) lack pace

I'm not sure because I can't see current skills so I can only suspect that it was cause of low stamina. Our players were weaker, slower and they couldn't pick up the ball well - especially in 2nd half.

Rules:
Stamina:
During the match, the players get tired. When this occurs they become less accurate as they lose some of their skills

Yes, pace is our main problem in defense but we've got only 1 player with divine pace.

Few days ago I sent invitation to the NT Cameron coach (about friendly match today) but he didn't reply. So we've got day off.
