This statement says it all... i dont see why EB did not play as done in the 2nd half?..Why so much fear or Respect shown to Kuwait?..just becuase they are Ex champions?..surely they are not some RM or Barcelona or ManU..whatever d reputaion the match will be dediced on the field in 90 minutes, that is where the action will be decided..</P>
<P>Kuwat were given a free run for the 1st half, off course helped to a great extend by our butter fingers GK..if it was some other G1k i bet the scorewould have been 2-2 or 3-2..</P>

Coaches are getting hammered by fan every time. Morgan got hammered when he was coacag . Wim get the same and now its Falopa's time to get some of that.
The deference between Morgan and Falopa is EB under Morgan never played against a team this strong. And why EB didnt played in the 1st half same as 2nd half because that was the right thing to do. People should not forget that Kuwait SC are 2 time defending champion , we were playing an away match.
You don't need to post that in every thread, Sir. It qualifies you as a spammer. Btw, watched the highlights again and I have to say terming the blunder by Gurpreet as 'mistake' is being too soft on him. What he did there shows he doesn't have the goalkeeping basics right. The ball was swerving away and then curling lin at the far post. Any decent goalkeeper would punch that away in the direction the ball is moving so that it falls far away. What he did was just approach it with one hand that too when there were oppositin players right in front. That was never going to be his ball!
Quite a decent result considering the way the guys played in the quaterfinal. Also, you need to see the level of players whom they were facing. <br><br>Anyone would have taken 4-2 before the start of the match as it gives you 2 important away goals.<div><br></div><div>And Dika has scored similar type of goal in previous matches too.</div>
1 thing is sure from the match..Kuwait FC is also vulnerable at defence. infact everytime East Bengal attacked (though few), they created good openings...and their goal keeper is also not that good...so chance still on in second leg..only thing EB should not concede

This is what needed for the 2nd leg of semi final.
