While the team displayed attacking prowess and defensive discipline, consistency remains a concern. The high number of losses indicates room for improvement in maintaining performance levels throughout matches. Strengthening defensive organization and reducing lapses could help convert more draws and narrow the gap in tight fixtures. Additionally, increasing squad depth and rotation options may help sustain performance over a demanding season.
