In a unique move, the club has requested several former coaches and players to give Mehtab Hossain& Co a pep talk as they prepare for the match against Kuwait SC.
The former coaches like PK Banerjee, Amal Datta, Subhas Bhowmick, Manoranjan Bhattacharya and Subrata Bhattacharya, as well as ex-players like Bhaskar Ganguly and Shyamal Ghosh among others to conduct a motivational session.
i will like to point out that dont forget Dika against Pedang was in extremely poor form, so lashing Falopa for excluding him in the next game might not be the best...plus his main theme was defensive football...which honestly in an away game is understandable but the offside traps were crap to be honest..i also think Falopa's attitude might not be best...but we need to give him time, he has to understand his players..remember, morgan's AFC record initially was very bad, but then he built the team and did this...falopa also needs time...provided he is good...his i league show will give us a good hint...
</p><p>Disagree a bit. Dika is not good at defending...atleast till now. I have noticed sometimes rushes for tackle even when there is no chance to reach the opponent player tvhus giving away some empty space... But he definitely have very good ball control; ability to send acurate cross and he is the best long range shooter in india. No wonder there are so many goals against his name (even during his junior days)</p><p>The problem with the off-side trap is that our defenders are not that familiar with tricks of breaking traps. Most of the strikers playing in India can always be found in off-side in such cases (remember Moga against Kwait FC?).<br></p>
who will be the goalkeeper for East Bengal in this AFC Cup tie? Abhijit Mondal or Gurpreet Sandhu??? For I-league they should also try Abhra Mondal-he is not bad as compared to these two.<br>

I'm expecting 60-70K crowd for the match.
