I felt that the Thais were given too much space and were not closed down quickly enough so they were able to play their game.They could easily cross their deadly balls in into the danger area and Singapore paid the price in the 2nd goal.Datsakorn was also able to shoot at various occassions and everyone knows that if he is given too many chance to shoot,he can definitely score.Simply because he is good enough to do so.Singapore also could not keep up with the speedy Thais.And that allowed them to counter-attacked flourishly.Singapore's engine room was also out of steam in the 1st half but worked hard in the 2nd.If they were to start the game in that manner,Singapore could have found themselves in a safer position.The strikers and midfielders just did not wear their scoring boots that night,Thus even though there were many valuable opportunities the could not make it count.I felt that especially in the 1st half,Singapore players relied on Duric and Alam Shah to score.So their playing style was too predictable.They were usually pass,crooss or lob the ball to Duric but clearly he was overpowere and outnumbered by the Thai defenders.
All in all,I felt that Singapore gave a better impression of themselves in the 2nd half.The strikers have to convert every chances into goals if we want to keep our dreams on having any shot of the Asian Cup.
