Seriously, the Suzuki Cup was the last straw, The Lions played like pussies against the Vietnamese and just by watching that match I can already tell what the problems were.
Over-reliance on foreigners: Duric is a good striker but at 40, he should not have been the only source of goals for the team. Agu Cashmir blows hot and cold and although Alam Shah was hardworking, he was just shooting blanks. Where was Mustafic? In the midst of some solid crunching tackles, he mostly gave the ball away and lost the plot in midfield to the speedy and fast passing Viets.
And then we have our defence in what could probably be the most useless defender we ever had; Precious. Seriously I've seen Singaporean kids who are much more faster and reliable than that elephant. Baihakki did a great job saving his ass on many occasions but seriously, having Precious in the team only works an advantage if your opponents play wide-football, which is, attack through the flanks and cross in, that way our centerbacks are tall enough to clear the danger but imagine a team that decides to attack through the center through the use of through-balls, you will see Precious reduced to nothing but a headless gorilla.
Complacency: What the fuck is wrong with the Lions? Seriously? Just because they won the Tiger Cup 3 times and almost made it to the Asian Cup doesn't mean we suddenly turned into Germany overnight so whats the deal with them breaking their curfews and smoking? If Uncle Choo was alive he would have skinned them all alive just for existing.
I have no problems against Raddy because I think he did a decent job to increase the standards of the Lions but I think he made a very VERY big mistake playing a 4-3-3 formation against the Viets. You can't play 4-3-3 when you have slow centerbacks and misfiring strikers in the team, I would have prefered a 4-1-3-2 as the Vietnamese defence was pretty suspect, as evident in the number of slip ups they made. But honestly, 4-1-3-2 would have made the match much tighter and faster paced.
Now that all is done and the dust is settled, I think there needs to be an overhaul not just in the team but also in the entire organisation, we need more ex-footballers involved among the higher-ups because only they know what things happening at ground level is like. I really hope they fix this issue, before we drop even lower than the 140th position in the FIFA rankings, that would just be a big insult to all the past great players our country has produced.
