Final Closure to Liverpool's journey

Hi guys,

This will be the last entry to close up the whole season for Saints. It has been an exciting season for all of us and I am proud to see us achieving our main objective at the end of the season. There have been much moments where our team spirit stood out and carried us towards victory.

Looking briefly at the stats, almost everyone has got some points and this illustrate the importance of team play in Saints. Everyone's role is important. Towards the end, Edwin (Def) and Veera were able to chip in and contribute to our victories. On the offence side, we were the third highest scoring team and could certainly have scored more if we were more clinical in front of the goal. All the wonderful play up will be useless if we cannot get shots onto the goal! Never be scared to shoot.

On the defence side, I felt that we gave away quite a bit of sloppy goals. In fact, I feel that most of the goals that we have conceded could have been prevented. The only game when our defence was placed under pressure would be our last game. Offence takes a little of flair sometimes but defence is structured! You do not need to have stickwork to defend. Knowing your role and trusting your team mate is the key to defence. Defence is NOT the job of the GKs and defenders only. The line attacks together and defends together.

This adventure has finally come to an end but let this experience enrich you further as a player. The mistakes made are useless if lessons are not learnt.

I have always said that there are 4 main components needed in any game: Technical, Tactical, Physical and Mental. You guys have shown me that these 4 components can only be glued together firmly when the game is played with JOY and at the core of these 4 components is the HEART to fight on.

I am proud to have played a part towards your great season. I would like to thank the coaching team: Alvin, Sayadi, Weijing, Siwei, Bin, Jannah and all the other seniors (including our most loyal fan: Kelven who is always decked in his favorite Thai Singlet!)=)

No one can take away the part that you have contributed to the success of Saints.

A toast to more adventures to come! Cheers!

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while DARING GREATLY so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt, 1858-1919
