AFC Champions League 2 - Full Time: Lee Man Vs Bangkok United - 1:4

Despite Samuel Rosas' first half goal, Lee Man were not able to maintain their momentum within the second half as the home side Bangkok United scored four with goals from Richairo Zivkovic, Wanchai Jarunonkang and Mushen Al-Ghassani gave them all the three points to top their group table.

Lee Man's fourth consecutive loss meant that they have been eliminated and will not be able to advance to the round of 16. 2.

The final 24-man squad named for this month's friendly fixtures in which Michael Udebuluzor did not make the cut and instead, Kitchee youngster Matthew Slattery who wasn't in the preliminary list made it into the senior squad. 3.

What's the point of a 52 man preliminary squad if you're going to take players from outside the list anyways?

Not sure if Slattery is ready for the big leagues, I would have taken Timmy Ma instead... 4.

To be fair, I would had at least expected Westwood to assess the players during training before making a decision on the final squad. Otherwise it is like what the previous posts stated, what is the point of naming a 52-man preliminary squad in the first place?

On Slattery, I certainly did not expect him to be named in the final squad considering he hasn't featured much for Kitchee as of yet unless Westwood sees some sort of potential in him. 5.

Eastern 1:2 Kaya

Two controversial penalties gave Kaya the win. Very poor loss for Eastern, they really ought to have won this one. Timmy Ma did not play so I suspect he is injured. 6.

First penalty was not a penalty. Second penalty was Wong Tsz reminding everyone why he's not good enough for play for the national team anymore.

In fact, all three goals scored by Kaya in the two games have been penalties - two of which were conceded by Wong Tsz. 8.

Crucially from this article it seems that Westwood is no fan of Leung Nok Hang. When asked about why Leung was not picked, he said it depended on a number of factors including character, honesty, and professionalism, and cited these as reasons why Dudu was picked.

Really strange how Leung's relationship with the HK team has been so poor...
