How to lose.

I played in one game yesterday and watched another.

The thing that both losing teams had in common was
that they only had one attack plan( if it was planned at all ).

They did the same thing over and over, allowing the defenses
to adapt to their attacks.

In our game against Mediteraneo they started out successfully
with long shots, then we moved our defenders up and stopped
them by harassing them closely before they got to midfield.
They should have changed tactics.
They should have tried something else to keep us off balance.

In Vstex vs Koln, Vstex used a single-man attack repeatedly.
Defenders were able to gang up on him without worrying about
a pass to an open player.

Teams should have pre-planned attacks and switch them often
to keep defenders off balance.

These attacks should be planned and practiced before the game.

If not, they will lose to teams that do.


I don't think we have practiced as a team for 3 months.
