GOOD

• Farizal Marlias is Malaysia no 1 goal keeper at the moment. Despite conceding three goals, his performance was excellent and confidence.

• Amri Yahyah hard to die attitude is exemplary to our youngster. He is chasing the ball everywhere on the field. He deserves the two goals for last night match. His optimisticism to caught Van Der Sar out of position is unbelievable.

• I like K. Rajagopal 4-2-3-1 formation. Getting Safiq Rahim and Amar Rohidan as our defensive midfielder is a good choice against strong opponent.

• Congratulation to supporters of Harimau Malaya for the continuous effort to support our national team even we are outplay by ‘Manchester United’ supporters in our own land.

• I am hoping V. Thirumurugan will play on the second match tomorrow. Malaysia needs a defender who is able to overlap like what Thiru have done in the second match against Zimbabwe.

• We are not playing long passing ball which I like. We try to control our possession as much as we could but we need to avoid poor passing in the second match.

• If you notice we have utility player in this squad. Sabree Abu can play as the right back and last night in as a midfielder. Bunyamin Omar who is a midfielder come in to step into Norhafiz Zamani shoes.

BAD

• We need to improve our poor first touch and passing.

• Our striker and midfielder tend to move into the center when attacking causing confusion between Amri, Indra and Zaquan Adha. Sometimes we need to play the ball wide and utilizing our pacey winger to move the ball into the box.

• S. Kunalan failed to impress on our right hand side. K. Rajagopal should replace him earlier with Amirul Hadi or Khyril Muhaimeen.

• We are still conceding soft goal.

• We need to get our striker into the penalty box. Against Manchester United, we are trying to beat Van Der Sar and Ben Foster from the long range shot. We are lucky that Van Der Sar and Ben Foster is not on their top form last night.

• In the second match, K. Rajagopal should rest Zaquan Adha due to his injury. Let Norshahrul Idlan Talaha play upfront or move Indra as the lone striker.

• It was sad to see Malaysian cheering for Manchester United and not our national team.

I am hoping tomorrow crowd able to sing "Malaysia Boleh" or "Inilah Barisan Kita" song instead of "Glory Glory Man Utd" song.

Tomorrow will definitely be a difficult match. Sir Alex Ferguson for sure want his team to restore their pride by demolishing Malaysia. For Malaysia squad, dont be over the moon and work hard.
