Harimau Malaya : We need flair and creativity

This is my review regarding Malaysian football team since the friendly against Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Singapore.

Arsenal, Liverpool & Chelsea
To sum up Harimau Malaya performance against a trio of Barclays ex-champions, there are things that we can be proud of such as the performance of Kunalan, Safiq and Salee.  I remember Mr Wenger highlighted that Malaysian football lack the physical side in football but we must compensate that we skill, technique and pace.  We got a good strikeforce in Safee and Nur Idlan but unfortunately the latter only played the qualifying game against Taiwan.  Even during that game you can see that he wasn't really fit.  Kunalan in the other hand created a lot of problems for Arsenal and Liverpool, his darting run along the left wing was acknowledge by Steve Clarke of Liverpool.  Safee emergence during the Liverpool game showed that we've got a talented striker that can deliver goals.
