@Ashlesh: I guess you had mentioned this guy once earlier as a promising player..good to see he is scoring though U-23 defence may not be the best at the moment..we really need better strikers than Haokip,Holi etc...also good to see Jayesh get on the score sheet
To reach his potential, IMO, he needs to stay humble and perhaps try getting some training stints abroad. Maybe also get into ISL and gain as much experience as he can. He is 21 years old, he still has time to improve his game. He is already a pretty decent finisher and knows how to get into good positions, if he can add some more skill and better dribbling to his game then who knows where he can be.
He has so far scored in every competition he has played in so far and not just one goal here and there but pretty consistently. You do not just do that randomly or through only easy goals.
I am still going to talk as if he is 21... I know he is not but bloody hell. Again... the "kid" has scored goals. Analyze all you want from his 1 game at the Durand Cup but he does seem to have potential to improve. Even if he does not score a goal during these qualifiers who cares.
Stop being so hard on these guys and almost denouncing them as failures before they even begin. I see this from fans of the England national team all the time and I never get it.
The ultimate job of a striker is to finish. Haokip looks more like a poacher than a CF. The things he has to master is better ball control and capability of finishing even from the tightest angle. Most importantly a striker cannot score unless he is feeded with balls from the playmakers. Thats what they are for otherwise football would have been played with 4 defenders and 8 strikers!!!
For a good player to be considered a better player, he need consistency..
He got himself a consistent excellent breakthrough season.. then comes the all important second season 2015-16 which could prove us if he is worth a NT squad place...
In the past we have seen many one-season wonders... lets just wait and watch..
If he proves himself consistent goal scorer till year end... no one can stop the call up in 2016
