We lost- not a shocker. The bigger surprise was the manner in which we lost. It was the first time that we ever put up such a fight in Mexico. I am still confident about our chances, and I was extremely proud to see that we played such a gutsy game. With a little more luck, we could have come away with a point.
As long as the spirits stay up and we continue to improve, we'll get the points we need to at least make the play off (spot 4).
This is my summary of our strengths/what was encouraging and weaknesses/room for improvement.
Strengths:
1. Heart and conviction
2. Organization in defense
3. more structure coming forward
4. Birchall
5. Edwards
6. Yorke
Weaknesses:
1. We could use a stronger keeper
2. We need a natural left winger
3. We need a more dominant skilful/creative central middie to complement Birchall
4. We need to tighten up our passing game, to avoid unnecessary give-aways, especially in the middle of the field.
5. depth on the bench (not sure how possible that is)
Overall I was satisfied
Lemme know what you guys think
