3-1 is the scoreline. Naive play from Nishu Kumar there. The defence cannot handle the pace Chonburi has and the 3 central midfield players - Vinit Rai, Malswamzuala and Bidyananda have done little to help the very static and one-paced back 4 of Dhot, Thakima, Nishu and Ranawade.
Unfair to blame it on Thakima Ralte. It is the others who have looked fairly average. Dhot was outpace after dithering very early on and it was a warning of the pace Chonburi's number 11, 15, 10 and 9 has. Nishu Kumar was proper naive in his play leading to the 3rd goal. The midfielders need to be street smart and commit professional fouls when in trouble, instead Malswamzuala and Vinit Rai hasn't had a kick of the ball and have been passengers. Bidyananda is playing way to forward and needs to come back and be more combative. Lallianzuala and Loken Meiei hasn't even touched the ball. A humbling experience.
