East Bengal had their chances but combination of poor decision making and fatigue hampered their chances in 2nd half
Goa's foreigners finally pulled their act together with some stunning goals. The Indian contingent of Goa looks very weak surprisingly..They need Glan to get his form back and Brandon to make a return..however their defense with one foreigner is very weak.
Nobody mentioned this but Nikhil Raj made his ISL debut and scored for Odisha. Only last year he had made his Arrows debut Also Nemil finally made his ISL debut. Any other Indians who made their debuts? Siva made his second sub appearance and finally Komal Thatal played a full 90..Joining Jamshedpur will be an amazing decision for Boris, Komal etc VP has now made 2 starts for Mumbai FC and Rohit Danu finally played a full 2nd half for Hyd
@Ronny Not really surprising. Siva is a coach's player. The way he trains humble is a delight. Glad this coach appreciates it. If Carles stayed nothing would happen to young players.
That's so true. Naorem Roshan is starting games now and looks impressive. He has even denied Ajith his spot in the starting lineup. The fact that Bidyasagar has been an unused sub tells me how impressive Siva and Edmund might be in training
I will continue to say East Bengal and ATK MB for reasons I have already mentioned umpteen times in this forum...MB as a club no more exists, it has "merged" with ATK to become a new club, ATK Mohun Bagan. East Bengal club exists, Shree Cement is only the investor. So SC East Bengal is saying the same thing as East Bengal, just as Kingfisher East Bengal and Mcdowell Mohun Bagan were basically the same as EB and MB.
In fact, it would be more appropriate to call ATK Mohun Bagan as ATK because the club has retained more the less the core of the erstwhile ATK--the coach and most of the players!
Legacy and all that is fine if the club is run by professionals in professional way. Bunch of short sighted egoistic armatures running the club without any long term planning is recipe for disaster when relegation is introduced. ATK MB or Mcdowell MB still has MB in it and is run more professionally and seen more success in recent past as least then its rival. So "SC East Bengal" or "Kingfisher East Bengal" or "whoever else is their sponsor in future East Bengal" Fans needs to put pressure on the amateur club administrators ruining their club like a gully team more to course correct than arguing like a child with the rival fans on legacy etc. Get your home sorted first before mocking.
