Ahhh I
think that match sums up our season really, good spells and the potential is there but
ultimately if a little bit more application and effort is shown by certain players then
we would do so much better.
The final score today was 3-3 and also of note is how I finally scored after however
many games it was but I always I forget about those goals as quickly as I score them and
focus on the chances I missed...which there were a few.
I wanted to win but it became apparent from the kickoff that not everyone shared my sentiments
as the attitude of some players in the squad is poor. Next year that's got to stop, as
I said in my previous Samba Magician video I know what I'll be doing to improve myself
and that's an attitude a lot of people don't seem to take. They seem to think they are
faultless and blameless but it's often those people who think that that often aren't.
Players still remain too static when I'm in possession of the ball, also they do not make
intelligent runs, it's still too one dimension. But let's not put the entire blame on them
because lately I've not been threading through the passes as well as I used to, there were
a couple today that I felt I really should have done better on but I'll work on that
but sorry to say this but I find myself lately not being able to trust a fair few of you
with the passes that I give you because I rarely ever think that you'll ever do the
right thing with it and not waste the passes, case in point, when we were 3-2 up we had
a corner and there was 10 minutes to go so I go to take the corner and then I noticed
that no-one comes in for the short corner which disappointed me there and we could have
wasted some time there and just ran down the clock.
Okay whatever anyway I crunch some numbers in my head and spy a player on the edge of
our...on the edge of their box with the nearest defender to him some ways off, I done this
earlier in the game, passed it and it went off well. If anything it could have gotten
a rebound and then we could have gotten another corner. SO after the success that I had with
Ryan Hill with that whole passing maneuver I pass the ball to this player, okay the ball
is perfect nothing wrong with that, we've got the element of surprise even though they
saw us do this earlier in the match, all you have to do is take the shot, take the shot...okay,
no seriously take the shot...stop...wait why are you backing up...no why are you backing
up...why...wait what are you do...come to the ball come to the ball, the defender is
coming to you...come to the...no seriously take the shot...ARRGHHHHH my gosh...okay you've
lost the ball and oohh look at that they've gone for a counter attack and okay luckily
we've managed to get the corner but ultimately from that corner they actually scored from
it albeit it was an own goal but sometimes I wonder if I place too much trust in some
people.
So really you guys need to step up your game, if only just to force me to do so as well.
I try my best no matter what but it does seem a bit a little bit futile when I run around
putting pressure on people as the song in the introduction goes; pressure pressure pressure
pressure pressure...as he always likes to do. It does seem a bit futile when I do all
that and then I see another player walk around like they're having a casual Sunday morning
stroll. It makes me think sometimes why bother.
So next year will be different, three quarters of the players in this league are junk which
actually boosts my confidence knowing that I'm...no I would definitely say I'm better
than that three quarters of the players in this league. But unfortunately football is
a team game therefore that statement just then was kind of irrelevant
But let's end on a positive note though and what made me smile asides my goal today was
when we were 3-2 up, time was running out, the ball found its way back to our goalkeeper
who naturally didn't pick it up and I was thinking "cool, why pick it up, let's run
down the clock a bit more" and then he starts to do some stepovers and I'm thinking "What!?
He's doing stepovers in an effort to mock the other team. I didn't say anything at the
time because I was actually quite amused and a little of disappointed. "Is it because that
you were showing a certain lack of respect for the other team?" Oh no no no no no no
nooo, I was disappointed because he didn't do the step overs properly. I was thinking,
listen son if you're going to do something like that go the whole way and do it with
some conviction, you can't be an entertainer if you go into these things half arsed. There's
a lesson for you.
Anyhoo that's it, don't forget to like, favourite and subscribe and ladies and gentlemen I am
