Hasn't update since the eve of the new year... wanted to but not much to update about. First day of school was literally spoilt by this stupid bitch early in the morning, how great was that? Still got to see her again the next day after school. This uneducated woman with obvious poor parental upbringing, ill-mannered scum and parasite of the society is just a complete waste of space on Earth.
With that aside, Lai became our form teacher this year, may not really be a bad thing after all. English teacher has changed to Au because Sarah Rhodes apparently is going back to her native land of Bristol if she doesn't renew her contract with the ministry. Hisham took over for SS and best of all, Chia Eiei took over for POA. The first day of her lesson was really good but half of the class was dropping the subject.
Sidetracking, if anyone got to see the news a few days back, apparently Zainudin decided to disband the entire Singapore National Football Squad. Maybe that's the best thing he's done for over a year in his office? Apparently, Raddy has godsons in the squad like Ridhuan; constantly using him and not others to engine the right flank and Precious against fast and agile team like Thailand. This whole sacking thing is generally positive to the public and Singapore football finally got its headline on all news shows.
I admit Singapore do not have many talents in this sport but we have adequate to compete in SEA and maybe in Asia. Now that players are being called up upon meritocracy, we will see more youth players already in the senior squad and this will no doubt gather experience for them to improve. So I came up with a list of players that didn't participate in the AFF Cup to be considered for call-up.
Goalkeepers:
Hands down, it got to be Yazid Yasin. I've never seen such an agile custodian, pulling out acrobatic saves from time to time and despite his height disadvantage, this guy make a good substitute for Hassan Sunny. Another one as a reserve should be Shahril Jantan.He deserves his long-awaited call-up because he has what it take to stop any shots only if he calm his nerves.
Defenders:
I would go with Bah Mamadou. He's the hybrid version of Precious and Daniel Bennett. The height and speed is a plus in the game as a Centre Back. He can pair with Adrian Dhanaraj at the back, although he's young, his performance during 2009 was great and showing he has what it takes to be at the Centre Back. On the flanks, Jeremy Chiang and Zulfadli Zainal can operate there. Jeremy is shown playing offense at times and defense at times when needed at Gombak. And Zulfadli is also more of an offensive player, his time with SAF saw him really sweeping the ball to the strikers when needed.
Midfielders:
Gabriel Quak from the youth squad can be a at either flanks or assisting the striker based on the U23 competition he has been in. Azlan Alipah also has proven his worth in his time in Woodlands to be at the engine of the squad. Naufal Omar can be a defensive midfielder as well.
Strikers:
If Raddy isn't biased, the first he would pick would be Ahmad Latiff. Despite the incident back then with Latiff throwing bottles, kicking signboards and smoking at the hotel lobby, Latiff has somewhat changed already. He's got a cultured right-foot so his pin-point crosses would be a plus. And another, without any prejudice would be Aliff Shafaein. No doubt he doesn't have the aerial ability to receive crosses, his tricky agility can see him dribble past centre backs very often into 1-on-1 situations.
Of course, I hope Raddy and his management can keep the services of Daniel Bennett, Mustafic Fahruddin, Khairul Amri and Shahril Ishak. With a blend of veteran with fresh young blood, the youths can gather experiences and on to the next generation and the next. Wise decision FAS, but the fans should also be supportive. Ever since the Kallang Roar has became nothing more than a Cat Meow, sleague turn up has witnessed a sharp decrease of fans including <1000. Let's hope fans would support them yet again and may they bring glory to Singapore~ =)
