by sending only 1 MD , it makes a big pressure to TBH/kkk, it sends a message to them "you must win or your team will 'collapse' " and look at them ,they played like 'unknown player' (lost to Eng pair and lost tamely to cai/fu)
I am quite disappointed with them..I had high hopes with them...I think LWW and CTF would have done better..
Yeah me too... I still have confidence in KKK/TBH for the future though. I love watching them play when they're fired up .
i think Rexy should put more hope on Zakry and Fairuz in World Championships...i strongly believe Zakry and Fairuz will perform better than Koo/Tan in August....
Give them a chance ! They are still young... young in age and young in partnership..... and give them a break, people ! Just look at LCW... they will come back. I believe their characters are strong enough to do just that. All we need to do is - moral support.
i think H F F U is the best =p along with Y CAI =p I know them so well, i know how their jersies are abbr.
Give them some space guys....CTF/LWW also had their grief moments before. Last time, they were also regarded as giving yo-yo performances. Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng also had their day before. They too played for quite sometime before emerging as world champions. So, don't just bash Kien Kiat-Boon Heong with non-encouraging words. They are still young. They can play; just that perhaps they cannot stand the pressure that they are facing. LCW took almost a year to bounce back. Give them time. I believe they will be on the top again. All they need now is support. Lets just pray for them. When players emerged as champions, we respect them, admire and give endless support to them. But when they are facing their bad days, we just bash them. Whatever it is, I will always support Kien Kiat-Boon Heong. Just leave the past behind and move on! Jia you, hao ma?
Yea, People only remember the champions...not the losers.. Fu/Cai played better...that's why Koo/Tan lost!Not because Rexy was not there...
That may be true but I really doubt it because wasn't Rexy there at the Indonesian/Singapore Open this year but Fu Haifeng & Cai Yun still managed to beat Koo Kien Kiet & Tan Boon Heong? I really think these guys should rethink their strategies and find new ones to counter the Chinese pair because Fu & Cai are dominating at the moment. I really hate to see anyone or pair dominating and Koo & Tan stand the best chance to challenge Fu & Cai. Candra Wijaya & Tony Gunawan along with Jens Eriksens & Martin Lungaard-Hansen and Jonas Rasmussen & Lars Passke are getting too old. The others like Markis Kidho & Hendra Setiawan haven't been consistent enough but they are still learning and improving.
it also means KKK/TBH is not good enough. I think now that this pair is exposed and the oppoenents have studied well about their games, it's harder for them to win relying too much on strategy alone. Rexy/Ricky won many titles not just because they had good strategies but also they played power game which KKK/TBH is still lacked off in consistent basis.
I would concur.. ..yes, that is correct...And it was their 1st defeat *with* Rexy coaching them... ..yes, for some reason, they are a bit off tilt for now..And yes, i did mention something similart after their Indonesian Open's Semifinal's match against CY&FHF. Basically, during that match, esp. after the 1st set, CY&FHF didn't allow KKK&TBH's "flat-drives" game to flourish in the subsequent sets. Rather, when forced to play a "normal" MD style, the MAS pair seemed to be unable to break-thru the CHN's pair's defense; in short, KKK&TBH still lack that consistent power(smash) game. Their defense, also, needs to be tightened.
