I don't think it's a case of if u r weaker than u should play defensive football. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition after all. We did line up defensively against Iran but we had no game plan to win the game so to speak. We were just there to park the bus and salvage a draw at most. I personally have nothing against defensive tactics if u know how to win a game using it via counterattacking. But u have to choose which game style u want and get the tactics right. Not a half assed version of 4-4-2.

And from what i saw of our SEA neighbours to be fair..our players aren't that much inferior in terms of technique. Our manager is a tactical idiot and although some would find it hard to believe i actually think that with a better manager we could have had a better showing.

I don't think anything can be done from now onwards regarding our current first team. If i had the choice 90% of the senior team would be thrown out and the u-21s be promoted. At least they seem to have more fight in them. Get a good manager in (if it has to be a foreigner so be it) and start planning for the future. We have the resources to do it. It's baffling enough that it took a poor showing in a tournament to get it rolling. But better late than never.

It is still infrastructure. Infrastructure doesn't just mean buildings u know
