Shea: We were out-muscled.

Shea admitted Phlamze deserved to win the game at MMU field because DeTTol failed to cope with their physical approach.

In a subdued post-match interview, the Antiseptic manager accepted the Reds were second best and was unhappy with the way his side conceded both goals in the 2-0 defeat.

“My overall view of the match is that Phlamze were the far better team,” the manager told MMUTV.

“They tackled us, got about us and harassed us, forcing us to make mistakes, and we didn’t cope with that well. That was the source of our defeat.”

Syahir "Shuffling Header" gifted Phlmaze an opening goal when he failed to deal with Ah To's shot and resulted a handball and John has no problem to kick the ball past Adli "The Flying Italian" from the spot kick.

And substitute Amer delivered the killer blow in the second half after Arsham failed to deal with a ball in the penalty box.

“The two goals we lost were absolute shockers; the defending was very, very poor. People will think they are watching a Conference side when they see the highlights.

“Apart from Eng How, we did not have one good performance on the pitch. We were out-thought.”

The Antiseptic manager will be demanding an immediate response as DeTTol look to end Fire and Flames’s long unbeaten record at MMU next Wednesday.

“It’s going to be difficult but they are all difficult games away from home,” he added. “And if we don’t address the physical part of the game then we’ll struggle there too.”
