Analysis:
With all the cup games out the way it was back to the league duties this game against Handsworth,
With our visitors unbeaten themselves in 4 matches in the league it was going to be difficult.
With us changing formation for this game going with 4-3-3 and with aseela and ahmed not in the squad that mean a start for zak and Usmaa who both stared the game as fullbacks.
We had very poor first half for our standards we looked tired we struggled to retain the amount of possession we required or play or the football we wanted to play we all a team struggled to be on the same wavelength as a team.
Handsworth had a way better half than us they created good chances to go ahead in that 1st half we struggled to create hardly anything or even dominate possession as much as we wanted to do.
2ND Half
With players accepting that we had shit 1st half, I give it to team we changed attitude and mentality we pressed we won the ball we created chance after chance, we also changed formation to 3-5-1-1 with zako and hassan coming it gave us a more attacking mentality.
I thought every time that yassar and younes got on that ball we looked dangerous and they exactly did what has been asked from them they delivered and with eshaq and Abdallah we had pace going forward.
At the end we made look easy, but to be honest lets understand we can afford to be a second half team we have to compete in both of halves of the game, because better teams will take you apart if we do it too often.
I was really pleased with the 2 wingers in younes and yasar they delivered they both got their name on the score sheet and yasar with an assist we should get them the ball as much as we can, and as team we was excellent in that 2nd half also pleased with us keeping a clean I always love teams to keep clean sheets that’s show you a good team and that’s what wins you titles clean sheets
Things to improve on:
Getting the ball out wide to wings and full backs
Being more patient in possession
Creating more chances for our strikers
Better shape in midfield of the ball
Playing both halves of the game
Less arguing with the ref!!!!!!!!!
But overall well done good 3 points
Thanks
