Soosairaj deserves to be in the squad and hope Samuel,phrangki,and and other deserving players will caught the eyes of stimac One thing I don't understand why stimac not playing brandon and sahal together that will hell good of our midfield with thapa
In a 4-1-4-1, he's preferring Thapa and Sahal at centre. That's why Brandon is out. Only way both can play together is the Spain formation of 2010 world cup where Iniesta and Silva played together.

After the match, hundreds of Indian fans launched celebrations but some of the sparkle of India's achievement was lost following chaotic scenes as visiting fans struggled to enter the stadium.
The only way to get all our best midfielders to play together in starting 11 is to deploy a 5-3-1-1 system with a christmas tree like conical shape. It would involve having 3 centre backs, 2 wing backs, 3 central midfielders (preferably Reynier, Sahal and Thapa), 1 central attacking midfielder (Likely Brandon) and the lone striker (Chettri). But in this system we would have to sacrifice our wingers (or use Udanta and Mandar as wing backs). Width is provided by wing backs while 3 CBs ensure defensive solidity, giving licence to 2 of the CMs to move into attacking positions (Thapa and Reynier) while the 3rd CM acts as a Ball winning midfielder (Amarjit/Borges). This will also allow the CAM to operate as a shadow striker or a false nine type who can drag the opposite defenders out wide. This is the only way I see both Sahal and Brandon playing together.
A 4 man defence is always better than a 5 man defence. Not many teams have succeeded with a 5 man defence including Argentina. So, how will India succeed?
Spains 2010 World Cup used 4-2-2-2 with a 4 man defence, Xavi and Xabi Alonso at CM (Amarjeet and Thapa), Iniesta and Silva as CAM ( Sahal and Brandon), Villa and Torres ( Chettri and Manvir). There won’t be wingers, only attacking full backs to give width in this formation.

So clean sheets against Thailand and Qatar is not bad at all
