Honestly liked the pressing football played by EB, given the quality of the side they have. Why they didn't play Hira Mondal who has had a stellar tournament so far is a mystery( if not for injury or covid). Mahesh is a great talent but Arindam conceding embarrassing goals at key moments disturbs the momentum/morale of the Team. he should be not be fielded anymore this year. Infact Arindam and Amrinder have made themselves look like a joker this year. And Adil Khan is so unfit & was solely responsible for the two goals.
Despite the score line, EB played really well offensively.
This year clubs are pretty poor defensively. One main reason might be reduction in foreign players. On top of it, all top goalkeepers looks ordinary in this season. I would say least impacted team due to reduction in foreign players is Hyd FC. They even started last game against EB with 3 foreign players.
This is so disrespectful by NorthEast United. They always knew he will be called up. Infact Mauritania didn't call up Khassa for some matches in November to allow him to join the biobubble in time. If they and Khassa really wanted to call him up, NE can't have done anything because it's FIFA break.
Now they terminated his contract because he went for National duty. He could easily come back and join the league after the tournament and still play atleast 5 matches. There are players whose injury layoffs are more than the duration of AFCON.
