am sure cavin lobo in starting 11 in next match ...Stephen must now have known every player ... with right player India will be good for another 2-0 win in away match ..
Jacki's performance was okay but not good, robin keeps wasting hardly a threat. Lenny at times is okay but Francis never contributes wrong passes wrong tackles.
Hope that miss from sunil would not be costly for us. We deserve a 5-0 win today. In the first half two half chances missed by Robin and a sitter by francis.
India should've won by a few more goals and then been in a position to go to Nepal and experiment with some younger / fringe players
Overall a good result that papers over the 1st half issues: Subrata 6.5/10 Saumik 7/10 did his defencive duties well could offer more going forward Arnab 7/10 grew as the game went along, solid but not spectacular Jhinghan 8/10 looked like he was playing in 3rd gear composed and assured Lenny 5/10 rightly subbed out for Cavin and the difference was all to clear. Wasteful in possession & decision making often poor and 1st touch hinders him Euegeneson: 7/10 could make more forward runs and get into the box but used the ball well and his powerful shot almost led to the 2nd goal ( Cavin 7/10 linked well in midfield and good run into the box to win a PK ) Francis 6.5/10 typical game nothing beyond average except the miss in 1st Half Dika 4/10 worst Indian player in terms of team play;has to realise game isn't built around him Robin 7/10 caused a lot of problems in 1st half and the Nepali preoccupation with him made space for others in 2md Half Sunil 8/10 would've earned another point had he scored the PK but needs to perform for 90mins not individual moments (Jackiechand 7/10 unfortunate not to score on debut but needs to work on his position especially in transition ) ( Holicharan n/a ..but strange to make a substitution when defending a set piece ! )

Overall a good result that papers over the 1st half issues:
Subrata 6.5/10
Saumik 7/10 did his defencive duties well could offer more going forward
Arnab 7/10 grew as the game went along, solid but not spectacular
Jhinghan 8/10 looked like he was playing in 3rd gear composed and assured
Lenny 5/10 rightly subbed out for Cavin and the difference was all to clear. Wasteful in possession & decision making often poor and 1st touch hinders him
Euegeneson: 7/10 could make more forward runs and get into the box but used the ball well and his powerful shot almost led to the 2nd goal
( Cavin 7/10 linked well in midfield and good run into the box to win a PK )
Francis 6.5/10 typical game nothing beyond average except the miss in 1st Half
Dika 4/10 worst Indian player in terms of team play;has to realise game isn't built around him
Robin 7/10 caused a lot of problems in 1st half and the Nepali preoccupation with him made space for others in 2md Half
Sunil 8/10 would've earned another point had he scored the PK but needs to perform for 90mins not individual moments
(Jackiechand 7/10 unfortunate not to score on debut but needs to work on his position especially in transition )
( Holicharan n/a ..but strange to make a substitution when defending a set piece ! )
Lobo was superb when he came
I hope he goes for Romeo Antony Victorino
In 2nd round of qualifiers
