Sunil is not a # 9 , and is top scoring Indian again this season with 11 goals ( Fed Cup , I-League & AFC Cup), and 2 crucial goals for India...
none of those goals came from him playing the #9 role
Jackie & Romeo are good subs when the game is stretched..... I'm still a fan of Seitya and believe he is miles better than those 2 , also Jayesh Rane is finally fulfilling his potential this season too.
@gaffertape Sunil is good when he is playing as the second striker I suppose but the lack of options here will kill us. Playing him as F9 is possible but I doubt India can pull that off. Ideally a 5 man midfield and Sunil as F9 pretty much what Spain did by playing Fabregas as striker.
We missed the trick in choosing the venue. 11th June means Monsoon rains in Kerala. We should have gone for Kochi. Our rains, our wet field will help our players. Slushy conditions will prevent Oman players from playing free flowing football. In Kochi, we can manage with rain and crowd support a hard draw. Remember how we did a 2-2 draw with UAE last time at wet Ambedkar Stadium. Bangalore has cooler salubrius conditions in evening which will help Oman Team. I doubt it will be that rainy and wet.
The same stupidity in choosing venue was seen in recent Davis Cup when india lost narrowly to Serbia 2-3. If the venue was Chennai that time, we might have won that because India success in Davis Cup has always been victories against tougher opposition and Chennai heat factor helped us always.
Such small things matter. We should choose venue to our advantage, not to opposition. What are we offering Oman team here? Direct flight from Muscat to Bangalore in Oman Air 3 hours 30 minutes which will not be tiring for their players. Luxury ITC Hotel close to stadium . Cool evening where Oman players can play free flowing football.
If this is the way to win... You're probably belong to reliance. Cheat tactics... Always provide best facilities. May better team win and we learn from the mistakes. I don't want this kind of win and this is the worst possible way to win... It ain't love or war to win. It's game... This is why aliens don't visit us. Sorry don't take it personal. Already India and Indians image is fucked up big time... We should show the world new India and new facilities.
