LCW+Misbun combination

[pBmMalaysia]

What Misbun need to work on is his mental strenght. It doesn't matter how good you are if you can't bring out your power because of nervousness. I think the only time LCW played almost to his true ability in major tournament is AE09 final against Lindan. But it all just crumble after the interval at game 2.

yes, he needs to keep working on that but i think physical and self confidence must first be there, what do you think?

I think he need to figure out method to pump himself up during situation like this whether it is listening to rock music, scream at the top of his lungs etc. I do the same thing too when require to do presentation to big shots.

Actually for a veteran and experience player, he should have overcome this problem by now. Gade use to be the same when he was younger, but he got over it before LCW's age now.

LCW + Misbun = FAILURES, as the record shown.
LCW should ditch him soonest if he wants to win a major before his retirement.

Where is this guy now?

I don't think LCW is considered a failure for failing to win any major titles. He has won many Super Series and although he will NEVER be as successful as Super Dan, he has still done a lot. If you call this a failure, look at the other players which was mentioned by limsy. I agree that there might be a better coach than Misbun Sidek, but I disagree that Misbun Sidek is a failure.

Agree with you.

LCW is certainly not a failure. That I agree.
Yes, he has several SS titles tucked away in his cabinet.
Its just that he gets cold feet when it comes to the big events.

Anyway, the AE may be his breakthrough...

His prediction was right. Maybe, Mr.Maybe aka LCW read this post and found the motivation.

Its not a failure... but I think this combination has reach its peak, lcw might need to change coach to diversify his tactics..

Same as my post below if he remained the same.

Yes, IMHO, their combination had reached it's peak during OG and LCW has wasted 1 1/2 years. No disrespect to MS, he should let LCW go and look for another "master' to teach him something new. LCW doesn't have much time left. He should seriously consider this move if he fails to land the AE.

This is before AE victory.

This AE is actually crucial for LCW. Like it or not, its a must win actually.

Kudos to Prof P. He was spot on.

aha! you 2 had doubts on misbun & lcw combinations before a.e.10!!! and i still remember what kish-mah-ash said he will do if lcw won a.e 10!!!

yes the before and after a.e.10 opinion change because history created and lcw + misbun combination is just awesome...

and as for you 2, undeadshot and kms - just pulling your legs!!!

We all know you meant no harm.

really? but anyway we should leave that to lcw's expert mr.fred to decide and as for gade, yes when i first saw him he was nervous...

i think majority of the european especially the danes are more 'daring' when they play, even though they end as losers i can still see a little difference. what you think of this?

Yeah, they took the risk, like when PG serve high to TH at the end of the 3rd set during their QF AE10 match, where TH smashed into the net.

AlanY..... isn't he the guy who kept bitchin about the last point in AE10....... I could be wrong. Or was it Alex something???

Hehe Imagine if LCW got 2 coaches...
one for more skills and techniques...misbun for motivation and to refine his already good skills.

Nope, not AlanY, Alan is from england. It was Alex sthing

I think that Alex something guy is from Singapore and both were singing the same tune. Too lazy to find their comments.

With 2 coaches, will it confuse LCW ? I remember sometimes TH has 2 coaches with him during the breaks.

you mean you all don't know lcw got more than 1 coach? misbun being the mastermind, skill and tactical man also the strategist and fred, the mental trainer!

[OneToughBirdie]

Funny how one single point can save the combination. Earlier there were calls for LCW to ditch Misbun. Now with the AE10 victory, their combination is good.

Are the calls to 'dump MS' and the 'combination is good' from the same poster or posters...it is called 'jumping off' and 'jumping on the band wagon', see which way the wind blows onto the 'lalang' (grass)

Agree with you on AE09 and I must have watch that game so many times. But I think it was after LCW lost the first set when he hit LD backhand return into the net when he has a clear opening and he leading very late in the first set. I always wonder what happen if LCW scored on that point, would it change the outcome of that match. After that, the second set was as good as over.

I read an interview of LCW after the match when he spoke about confidence and pressure issues ... to me LCW looked very nervous in the final and did not really cope that well (particularly the second game, like being fooled by the flick serve), but in this interview it seemed he was changing history and painting his performance in a more positive light than it really occurred...

Just hope the other coach is not female....oh, I sure get myself in hot water now

Usually they give different statements, immediately after the game and later after they have settled down.

But Misbun is the source of LCW's mental doubt. When I talked to him, he still said LD is better because LD has the advantage of being a leftie. And that LD trains with more righties and LCW has few lefties to train with. If that's so, why doesn't he get all the lefties to spar with LCW : CWF, TCS.
I said 'Look at the pattern. LD 's avoiding LCW because he (or rather LYB) knows his chance of losing to LCW is high. That's why LD skipped HKO09 (when LCW was fresher than him) skipped MO10 (after seeing LCW's impressive KO10 form), got conveniently shielded and bundled off by BCL in AE10 and CJ in IO09 so he did not have to play an in-form LCW. LYB is indirectly saying LCW is better and only a superbly prepared LD can confidently defeat LCW. LYB has been very successful in perpetuating the 'LD is superior' myth but how long he can fool even Misbun, it's hard to tell.
If LCW is not superior when he thrashed BCL in HKO09 and CJ in KO10,exposing growing gaps between LCW and his CHN opponents, what is?
The point is, even as the WR1, LCW is still a work in progress and improving...the most recent progress being his incredible stamina.
The moment Misbun start believing and telling LCW that he's the best, Misbun will clear his own mental cobwebs and LCW will be mentally free and play even better than his present best.
