Goals and Action 2H Only:
00:02:13 Whites Goal! Andy 2 - 2 Whites strength showed here, precise passes from Alan in defence to Stevey and great assist to find Andy on the right outside the box - and even greater quick strike by him to find the bottom right of the net, defender or keeper had little time to react.
00:13:12 Blacks Goal! Flo 3 - 2 Poor short pass by Samson that Flo could pounce on to carry forwards and struck in his stride to hit bottom right corner, keeper not much chance!
00:20:55 Blacks Goal! Ray 4 - 2 Kev dispossessed by Alan up front and short pass to Tom, Tom fakes a pass and drag back spin where Ray pounces from behind and times an intercept to perfection, ball lands forward nicely for him to strike beating Will and Sam the keeper.
00:22:35 Blacks Goal! Flo x 2, 5 - 2 Good clearance by Jason in right back to left mid, Keeper Sam comes out so that it doesn't go off, he proceeds for a long ball to Tai but intercepted by Jason out to Flo before the halfway line, Flo spots keeper off his line and goes for a Beckham style Lob! Spot on for the goal!
00:38:29 Blacks Goal! Will 6 - 2 Keeper Kit goes for a long ball from goal and finds Joao in Mid, Joao dribbles and gets failed by Stevey, advantage played and Joao continues to go forward for the strike on goal!
00:40:55 Whites Goal! Tom 6 - 3 Joao dribbles but got too confident and dispossessed after half way line by Sam, Alan picks up and drives it forward, and passes nicely to Stevey in the left corner, Stevey crosses early to Andy on the far right side but JD intercepts, JD at this point is all cramped up and loses the ball easily to Tom, who passes back to Andy and fakes a shot then passes back to Tom, who does a turn drag shot that rolls slowly into the bottom right with keeper beaten, Good goal!
00:41:22 Blacks Goal! Long 7 - 3 Flo x 3 Keeper kit passes out on the LB to Flo with no one close by, Flo drives forward with intent, passes Alan who tracks him, Flo cuts in nicely and loses Alan, then goes for Goal!
00:41:54 Whites Goal! Long 7 - 4 Stevey, Sam clears for a long ball into blacks defensive area, as usual Black have a packed back line who heads it out only as far as Tai in mid, he controls nicely and turns Ray, towards 3 other defenders but walks right through them only to meet another defender, he lays a side pass to an open Stevey outside the box, who strokes it nicely bottom right corner Goal!

Summary
Was it a case of too many M/F spoiling the broth, or does Stevey need to fess up and pay for a ChatGPT Sub as the selection was a ver 1.0 outcome. Wa lacked defenders (including a stay in keeper, playing effectively 1-4-2, Blacks 2-2-3 gave potent counter attack formation with the Wing Backs and it worked wonders in both 1H and 2H. Stevey stuck to his gut like Southgate and cost the game as on paper it seemed quite evens, but probably you need to add another stat of recovery/fitness in your model for your 1-4-2 to work well!
