EB aren't the favourite by a long shot, the defense is too porous and goalkeeping remains a concern in I-League unless the club gets a good foreign GK as the 6th foreigner.
Sure it's a competitive squad, the midfield ensures that but not amongst the favorites. A lot of good wingers along with a coach who prefers using the wing unlike Morgan.
MB has the same issue, Shilton Paul and Kingshuk Debnath are weaklings in there.
FC Goa continue baffling everyone, despite being in the hot bed of football, they sign MOU's with 3 teams from the NE. This will raise a few eyebrows. Why no MOU with any of the Goan clubs? What happened to their youth and grassroots program?
FCG tying up with Goan clubs would have given the clubs a purpose to exist, which would have come in the way of FCG's aim of becoming the prime club of Goa. So it is clear that for them to stifle Goan clubs and tie up with far flung NE clubs. Simple.
@Deb_Ban Actually, if they partnered with Goan clubs they could tighten their stranglehold on Goa and keep them down if they want, they have more control.
