It may not be the ideal time to tinker with his line-up, but national coach Datuk K. Rajagopal has no choice but to do just that for tonight’s AFF Suzuki Cup semi-final, first-leg match against Thailand.
Having experimented with different players and formations in the run-up to the tournament, Rajagopal finally stuck with the tried and tested frontline pairing of Safee Sali and Norshahrul Idlan Talaha – the same combo who played a major role in helping Malaysia win the Cup in 2010.
