game vs NyFC

1)      A brief description on your overall thoughts about the 12 minutes in the 1st Half.

I think we played ok but should have kept the ball more. It was a little frantic and we should have played the ball backwards instead of losing it with a risky forward pass. We should have been more organized and not let them play through us but force them to go around and then win the ball on the side

22)      A brief description on whether it fits into our style of play. (Based on what we have trained this Spring)

I don't think it fits our style of play.

We definitely should've switched the point of attack and connected more passes with one or two touches we also should have tried to win the ball back in for five seconds then get our shape if we don't win it.

Possession was around 85-15 % for them

When we won the ball we lost it quickly because we played too slowly and tried risky passes instead of  forcing the ball forward we should have just kept the ball


33)      Three Positive things the team did well during that time frame.

  1. I think we did well in not letting the players turn when they had their backs to us
  2. I think we also did a pretty good jop at keeping the ball in front of us
  3. Sam also had a great save to keep us in the game

44)      Three areas of improvement from your specific group. (Examples: Ian = Back Line, JJ = Forwards)

  1.  The outside backs should've tucked in on the far sides and we should have stayed in front of the ball and we should have been more compact. We were up 1-0 so we should've just kept them in front of us and worked on winning the ball in our half and then keeping it.
  2. On the play the striker broke through, the outside back should have been tucked in and the #6 also should have dropped more. I should have called the #6 and the outside back to tuck in so there was not an opening in behind
  3. On give and go plays we should stay with the runner or call for a switch to prevent overlaps
