Baby steps, everyone, baby steps. Let's be patient with these kids. A year ago, we didn't have much of a U-23 team to speak of. Guys like Areola & Ingreso can fortify this team even further. Let's cross our fingers that they join. hear hear to this! wait, bakit di kasali si Kevin Ingreso sa under-23?

IMHO the most usual problem of the Azkals since Coach Weiss took over are the quickness of the offensive players of the opposing teams.

I agree with Shanks608. It's really noticeable that the boys played better with great passing after the Hartmanns are out. I,m not saying that the Hartmanns are not doing well but it's just an observation.The boys are not just so lucky to convert those chances.
It's a nice game for Timorese as they depended the lead up to the final whistle which the azkals can't hardly make.

Despite the loss, I'm impressed with Jason de Jongs offensive skill, he's been content to play defense lately. He's going to have to do more of that since Carli will be out next game. Carli was a big part of the offense today. Depression sets in........

Im cut and broken down to pieces now! Sad that the boys didn't get the 3 Pts. But they showed better football in this match though, the Mids are playing good hold that puts the team to make aggressive sets, specially the last 10 mins. of the game. Heaven knows we sorely need the remaining 9 points. Damn! Should we hope that Timor Leste should win against Vietnam and Myanmar for our hopes up? I think semis still is possible with the 3 wins. *can't even eat my favorite lechon kawali now.

Timor Leste U23 are very tall players with good skills. And in my novice opinion looked like a better team than their senior squad. They were very good at falling down and acting hurt. I'm glad our players don't do that. I also think there was more direction with JDJ as the captain in the second half and he was taking the lead more efficiently. Maybe the coaching staff should try not putting the Hartmann's on the first XI on their next games.
I hope the boys don't get discouraged with the scoreline. All this should be taken as a great learning experience.

On todays game, They should have done "ground passing" The East Timor players were too tall that's why they were able to get those passes made by the Philippines

Yup, I voted for JdJ as captain, he's got fire and if you look at this game, better skill set than the current capt. I'm not knockin on Matt, its just that JdJ played very very well compared to him, and I don't think its a fluke.
I think bringing in only 5 defensive players are hurting coach W's plans now. I'm wondering why Basa hasn't played. He has capped with the senior Azkals last year so he shouldn't be new to these kinds of competition.

Timor Leste really played well today.. they got bigger players and they always get the upper hand in headers and SPEED!! they always outrun us.. and our passes are very predictable. but skill wise, individually, i think our boys have the advantage. they played a little better on the second half.. Christaens and Porteria have great dribbling skills, and JDJ too. I'm not trying to bring down any players but after 2 matches. I think Matthew Hartmann is our weak link in the Back 4.. IMO i think he's too slow to be placed at CB.. I think it would work if Christaens would be placed at LB and Leonora moving to CB.. he can overlap with the ML in counter attacks.. we should really plug that hole if we want to win.. Good effort by the boys but it was just not that good enough. that strike from Valmayor was almost a screamer.. sayang! Mark Hartmann's skills is good his perception and positioning is good.. but i think his pace is really slow. Clarino or Beloya should take his place.
just my 2 cents.. i think we could go for this line up
Muller Carli -- JVB -- Leonora -- Christaens Porteria-- JDJ -- Ott -- Clarino/ Drinkuth Beloya Valmayor

my concern are the yellow cards. everyone seemed to have it . i've also noticed that the phase of the game became more agile when the hartmanns got off the pitch, matt may be the most senior but de jong can exert strong influence on the team. kuo24maybe the next sea games who knows... we'll have Areola, he will only be 20 then. Muller is already 23.
