Absolutely shoddy play from East Bengal. Defence, midfield, forward line all lacking in imagination. Mis-passes, back-passes and long balls directed at Ranti and Mendy- that summed up the game plan of the team. What was all this talk of refurbishing the team by bringing in Dong and Mama? Dong looked absolutely low on confidence and made several mis-passes, Mama was almost inconspicuous in the first half, Ranti is as slow as a snail and was totally bottled up by the DSK defence. Players are physically unfit and many of them are incapable of playing the full 90 minutes. Shame that these players are donning the red and gold jersey.The recruiters need to revamp the team and bring in good foreign players, especially a foreign striker and defender, next year if EB are to have a realistic shot at the title.
Guess, the campaign is over for EB this year. Probable reasons: 1. Immature coaching stuff (Sanjoy Majhi - an ex striker is the GK coach!); Sammy Omollo - fitness trainer - its a joke! 2. Avg. age of footballers - questionable. 2. GK's position - kept void till the last moment and then in a hara kiri, got TP - whose basics are incorrect. 3. Both stopper backs r slow - Arnab plays % football. 4. Weak bench strength. 5. Weakest strike force; Ranti has scored 57% of the team's go als - this is a dangerous trend of EB - same as last year. Why did they recruit Sabeeth when he won't be played? Not that Rafique is better than Sabeeth. 6. Biswajit's man management skill put to test in crucial moment and he failed(he should not have, as he has been a bit n pieces coach in previous I Leagues for Bagan). 7. The Club have successfully replicated the earlier "clown model" of Bagan - by reposing faith on some senior players - who does nothing but earn pension!
