Dribbling skills. Save for Schrock but the disparity between the Uzbeks and Azkals are very clear. At least 3 goals came from a cheeky dribbling and passing between them. Same when you watch our team against the Thais you can see how comfortable they are with the ball. IMHO, the Thais have the best First Touch and Passing Skills in SEA ...

After having a wonderful start of winning its first three games straight, the Azkals now have lost or drawn its last four games in the 2018 WCQ.
It's possible that the other teams have managed to adjust to our tactics and style of play, but I wonder also the lack of Friendlies have affected with the way our team plays?
I hope that Palami's involvement in other sports have not lessened his support for the Azkals, especially in terms of financially ...

You have to remember that the Philippines have one of the weakest soccer programs in the world. There is only so much that Palami can do when you have a program that is about as flimsy as a tar-paper shack in a SIgnal Four typhoon.

They had their chances but couldn't finish. They just didn't look as sharp as they did during the start of WC qualifiers, with the UFL having finished their season more than 2 months ago and no friendlies scheduled in the interim. They are done with regards to the World Cup. They now need to focus on the Asian Cup.

Instead of the Asian Cup, I think its better to focus on the Suzuki Cup next year. Not sure if Dooley's contract will be up to that time, though ...

Even if they adjust to our style of play. For example, take the (West) German teams of the 80s and possibly the 70s. Everybody knew how they played. Their tactics. They were like robots. Predictable. The difference was in execution -- they were so well drilled that no matter how you adjust, they executed perfectly. Yemen is so far behind us that even if adjust to our style we should be able to counter their adjustment. Terrible, terrible result. They need to focus on consistency. They need to focus on having that killer instinct. To put away the opponent. Yemen has no business winning against the Azkals.

This loss is bound to have a big effect on our FIFA Rankings next month, Yemen is ranked only 179th in the world as of now ...

If it's any consolation, the rest of SEA has been taking quite a beating, even Malaysia. Only Thailand seems to be doing well so far ...
