We played well.The score should have been a Tennis score.Jeje even though scored 2 but was very wasteful. Chhetri is past his prime but still is needed.As I had said earlier ,3 players should form the spine in yrs to come.Those are Gurpreet, Sandesh and Zuala(others are not good enough).These 3,it seems in times to come can compete and challenge with players from top 10 countries in Asia.Honestly, I don't feel we have the talent to replace the other 8 players from I league or U-23(except for 1-2 players).The bulk of the players of our current team will have to be replaced from our u-19 and u-16 players.( I have a feeling that our u-17 squad (world cup 2017) and onwards would play a significant role in acting as a feeder age group for national team. Guys like rino anto,pritam kotal, Augustine, Jeje,Holicharan, Narayan,Lyngdoh,Rowlin,Mandar and the list goes on are good for nothing lets face it. The spine of our team except for the 3 players will have to come from u-19,u-16 squad.
yah... not sure about Kyrgyzstan as I haven't watched their games recently... but Turkmenistan improved a lot this year... will be tough for Afghan team to beat them again..
I have stated that Sunil is needed.Also,when I say there is negligible talent in our u-23 team and real replacement of our players will come from U-19 team that is 4-5 yrs down the line so Sunil won't be there in 5-6 yrs down the line.Also,in general what I feel is Sunil's speed and finishing is not the same as was perhaps during Nehru cup and Afc challenge cup.
Stephen Constantine deserved more time with Indian squad , He just got full squad for 3 days for this tournament , same for world cup qualifiers but good news is that I league will be stopped in march for 20 days for world cup qualifiers .
So he will have squad for 10 days before 1st match ..Question will be raised if i league can make adjustment why not ISL ?

Sunil Chhetri... "Chhetri is past his prime".... are you serious... ??
@ Bad..

please don't write-off other players... there are few others who are good enough..
if req'd, we can further discuss on this in appropriate thread...
