I am again hoping Stimac tries new players and combinations in the remaining match & in Intercontinental Cup and SAFF Cup in June plus any FIFA window matches in September. We need all the help we can get before WCQs and Asia Cup starts. He could try Anwar Ali, Mehtab and Sana at the back interchangeably. Give Jhingan a break. Try Ritwik Das on left flank and Siva, Vikram and Danu as strikers. Maybe bring Amarjit Singh back in midfield for a relook. We need to think of the next cycle and young players should be given more exposure. The generation of Jhingan, Sandhu, Kotal, Bheke, Udanta, Narzary etc should be phased out as quickly as possible. And induct the current u17 NT players if they are good. And some of them are! We can have a good, technically sound young team in 2 yrs time.
The Indian national coach Igor Stimac feels the Indian Super League (ISL) clubs should be more careful about the players’ injuries and not force them to play after giving them painkillers. With the Asian Cup nine months away, the coach said that this kind of practice is a matter of concern as it is very damaging to a player’s health and can jeopardise his career in the long run.
I am certain the clubs who employ the players are taking good care of the players. But one thing I am not happy about is that the players are given injections to cover their injuries. I have found this with two players who arrived at the national camp,” Stimac said. “This is not the right practice as the players’ health is sacrificed by applying painkillers. That’s one thing I would suggest not be done in the future nine months,” he added with a note of caution.

Chhetri's first touch was awful yesterday. Even the goal which Thapa scored the ball fell into his feet after a poor touch from Chhetri.
