Tonight's report is going to be a brief one. There is no point dwelling on negative games and tonight was certainly one of those. A lacklustre start where we seemed uninterested was punished with an early goal by Boca- a slight deflection deceiving J. We offered little creativity in front of goal although we did find some openings. Truth be told we lacked quality in the final pass/ shot and failed to trouble their stand in keeper.
Going into the second half one down shouldn't have phased us. We have enough quality to turn this type of game around- usually. Their best player was running rings around our defence and 1-0 became 2-0 which became 3-0. This woke us up a little with 5 mins left Pete showed quality we had been lacking and scored a good goal. He followed this up shortly after with a second and we sensed a comeback. Boca then dashed our hopes sealing the win with a good breakaway goal.
Match Verdict- we can't blame the ref or the lack of players since they had the same. Man for man we should have rolled these over but collectively we were hopeless tonight. No one impressed- I certainly had one of my worst games in a WKF shirt but picking individual errors won't help. Just a bad day at the office that we need to remedy. We need more belief in our own ability and the sloppy passes will start to fade away. The ball control will be within a foot rather than 10 yards and we will make the right decisions in front of goal. Galacticos now have 6 points on us so lets not get bogged down with "what if" scenarios. Do what we have to do in the last 4 games and see what happens.
