In case you thought I’d gone mad and forgotten that Albirex have scored 67 goals, 9 more than Sailors’ 58 and 17 more than Balestier’s 50 goals, I was referring to the individual top-scorers’ tally. Ryoya Taniguchi and Maxime Lestienne are both locked on 20 goals and as the league title is almost a foregone […]

13 minutes and 27 seconds in. New boy Rui Pires holds, and then sprints forward to intercept a loose pass. Within seconds, the ball is worked out right to Maxime. Richairo makes a convincing decoy run into the middle, pushing the defensive line back. Then comes the crucial moment – Shawal raises his left hand

This is not gonna be your regular match preview – because this is not a regular match. No real use writing about Spurs because this is only their second pre-season friendly, and they are using this trip to Singapore as more of a marketing and commercial exercise – this is a game with no stakes

Our Sailors were far from their sparkling best against Tanjong Pagar United, but came out of the game with a crucial three points. These three points allow us to stay in the title race (mathematically but not realistically), but more importantly help halt the losing run. We will need some momentum going into the AFC

As the sun set on the Jurong East Stadium, the Sailors and Swans came together for a titanic clash. Both teams arguably put up their strongest lineups and it was a fascinating game from start to finish. First Half Disrupting Albirex’s rhythm LCS’s general approach was simple. No playing out of the back from goalkicks

It was not entirely surprising that we lost to Albirex Niigata (S). They are table-toppers and reigning champions for a reason. Anyway, that match is done, we move on. I don’t really wanna talk about it anymore. You can read my post-match thoughts here, or come back later tomorrow when we publish our tactical analysis

I should have seen it coming, I should have read the signs. Anyway (anywaaaay), I guess it’s over. The last time we played Albirex, we used a Westlife song in our reel to accompany footage of Hafiz Nor flying through the air to execute a brilliant off-the-line clearance, so I thought it was perhaps fitting

Having passed up a golden opportunity to return to the top of the table, our Sailors go into tonight’s game knowing it’s pretty much do-or-die. Let’s take a quick look at the permutations for us. If Sailors win – we will be 1 point ahead of Albirex, but they will have 1 game in hand.

The following tactical analysis is from Zach Wu, who’s not a Sailors fan, but we just thought it would be good for someone without rose-tinted glasses to analyse the tactics of our games. We hope to make this a regular column so that we can better appreciate what is going on in our games from

Well, I could not be more wrong in my pre-match preview. The only thing I got right was that Hakeme Yazid is a superstar and we should be wary of him. However, I under-estimated the Bruneian outfit. Yes, there was a red card, and it is very tough playing with 10 men, but I felt
