I thought the game in terms of quality was very good and yet again TTFE can be disappointed not to come away from it with something.
The difference between the teams from what I saw was Almeider's coverage of the pitch.
Almeider got their players in good positions whereas the TTFE players just seemed to be constantly following the ball around the pitch, leaving their goalkeeper (your good-self
) exposed far too often.
The TTFE-L philosophy on the pitch last night was: Why have 1 player on the ball, when you can have 3?! It didn't work!
Also, Gol need to get that Superglue of those fences. The amount of time our players spent stuck to them was ridiculous! I'll bring a solvent remover with me next time.
That said, I loved the more attacking pro-active approach from TTFE. They scored first and looked really dangerous at times.
Make no mistakes, Almeider
had to play well to get that result. TTFE certainly weren't rolled over on what was a tough night (conditions wise) to play football.
As with the last two games I saw, I think the TTFE-L team has improved 10 fold and is now competing with some good football sides. I for one hope it continues.
We are whipping boys no more!
