When we read the title above, most of the Malaysian fans especially will voice out their anger. Before the tournament, most of the pundits says this is the best ever squad that the Malaysia produced. But what was happened doesnt transparent to what the pundit says. What went wrong?
Let's see what went wrong to my opinion:-
1) Formation tactical
- usually Rajagopal used 4-2-3-1 formation but in that game, he used 4-4-2. The combination of Safee Sali and Shahrul Idlan Talaha is extremely superb. There is no problem with these players. But the decision to use more attacking option was absolutely absurd. We played against the host nation. The opponent played in front of 70,000 crowd. The environment and the spirit was totall different.
2) No defensive midfielder
- surprise selection in midfield where no defensive midfielder duty. Rajagopal should know when we played against host nation, they will surely will played attacking football. So, we cant follow their rythim. We should played at least one defensive midfielder to absord at the thread. Why we have 2 attacking midfielder in one time in front of host nation 70,000 fanatic fans? This should not be happened.
3) Inexperienced centre half
- I am not too sure how many time the combination of Muslim Ahmad and Fadzli been tried before the match. But it clear cut, these 2 players was lacked of communication and understanding. Yes, there are still young but the experience and confident has to count as well.
4) Too many mistakes in defensive side
- I hold my head everytime the defender hold the ball. They tried to be calm when they got the ball but they dont know what they are doing. First touch is totally poor! This is the basic football. There are professional players. This is their 247 job. This is not a part time job. Juz like when you do accounting, if you not fimiliar with the basic, how would you wanna proceed with full set. Very poor defending.
5) Squad selection.
- Some of the players that been selected is not in the state 1st 11. Does anyone aware on this? Why this still happenning? How they can be sure on their match fitness if they didnt get 1st team football? This is totally absurd.
I hope all the mistakes and weaknesses can be quickly resolve. Credit to Safiq Rahim, Shahrul Idlan Talaha and Safee Sali in this match. In my opinion, they are played matured football.
Anyway, despite the humiliating loss, I really hope we could overcome Thailand this evening. Dont look back. We need to advance and look ahead. Go Malaysia!. With new jersy should be transferred into new life of game.
