It seem like Lawrence initially presented Punggol as an enticing meat similar to Sengkang with Teo Chee Hean craved out.
Then playing on WPβs PTSD in 2015 where Bernard Chen got whallop at MacPhearson SMC by Tin Peiling with a bloody nose score of 65 > 33..... Lawrence employed a βhigh press β strategy like Newcastle under Eddie Howe to force Pritamβs thought process into chaos
Under intense time pressure and with heavyweights like Heng Swee Keat, Teo Chee Hean lurking around .... the decision to abandon Marine Parade was sealed when Gan Kim Yong appeared to add more unpredictability?
Or according to Pritamβs version, this is all part of the plan to create a Mourinho style βsiege mentalityβ? With GMS triggered, Marine Parade lost, WP morale will go even higher with hard mode turned on in the most difficult challenge of a 4-corner GRC fight? Even Aljunied need to work very hard as no longer in comfort zone with neighbouring Marine Parade MPs crossing over to help the PAP Aljunied unknowns
