The games continue to come thick and fast for the LionsXII. This time, its a trip up to Kuala Terengganu where they will face the Young Turtles of T Team.

The Lions are joint top of the MSL with ATM and Selangor while T Team are struggling at the foot of the MSL despite the presence of 2 former EPL stars. However the plague of NS issues and suspension have struck the LionsXII hard this time round with 3 of their 4 first choice back 4 being unavailable for this game, including the centre back pairing of Bai and Safuwan.

With their backline weakened, T Team can't have hope for a better time to face the LionsXII and Forlan must be licking his lips in anticipation of facing a rookie LionsXII centre back pairing. Sundram have done wonders many times in the absence of regular players last year and this year. Cam he do it again and keep the Lions in the battle for top spot?

Didnt manage to catch the game as i was working. Anyone who manage to watch the game say how the boys performed?

[hessian]

Performed very poorly. Actually they were poor in all the first four games, only the defense saved them.
Good learning experirnce for them, the main problem in midfield is that the pace was faster in the MSL than they expected. They don't have so much time on the ball. So u see a lot of time when they release the ball, they have already been closed down.

very decent performance, considering the players available to the team. had a couple of good chances, unlucky not to have put at least one away. penalty conceded was extremely soft.

T Team didnt play very well though, especially with their main foreign striker taken off injured at half time, they didnt create much upfront. even game, a draw would have been a fair result.
