What this AFC ASian cup has highlighted is we actually dont have backup of players barring goalkeepers..
See, Anas gone , nobody to replace him .... only if Salam Ranjan singh had cleared ball properly in last moment penalty could have been avoided.. midfield , thapa was removed but there were no enough CM on left wing Narzary was bad since start , no one to play even though we had Changte less said about replacing Chhetri , its better as there is no one at the moment..
now AFC U23 qualifier is good opportunity to build squad for future, we should start getting multiple players for each position... before that get coach who has good tactics and has ability to work with youngsters.
Even if we start taking in form players things wont get solved immediately.. we need to solve League issue and get proper calendar in place we play league from Oct-March and do nothing in rest time.. only BFC play 30+ matches in each season , what about rest? we play 18 odd matches that too like in small burst e.g. 4 matches in 10 days take a look at youth league, they are playing 10-15 matches in preliminary round and in next round 3-5 matches , how do you expect them to get better?
what we are trying is to develop(or pretend to develop) leagues from top to bottom instead we should start doing it from bottom to top
I don't think Salam played so badly. If our mid doesn't hold the ball and GK takes his goalkick to opposition keeper, any team will keep on attacking and it will seem defenders are at fault and will succumb eventually
Yes, you cannot keep on resisting the pressure for long period. You have to take more possession, control the game and train your guns on the opponent. Change the tempo, and give respite to the defence. But if opponent attack is better tactically (not to speak physically), you cannot have a turnaround, which happened yesterday.
Salam is a reserve CB for East Bengal, what was he doing in the NT at Asian Cup in the first place? We need Brandon, Adil, Sosairaj, Joby, Bheke, Chhangte in the NT NOW!

Brandon Bheke Chhangte yes
Sosairaj is slow.
I hope Komal thatal gets gametime in NT could be a great future prospect.
Australia and Syria are tied 1-1 at HT
