A real shamefull show by my mother club east bengal in this round. Quite disappointing display in almost every department. Misspasses seem to be the biggest worry for TJ. Prayag penetrated our defence on numerous time. But hoping for a much improved performance in the next round.

Prayag completely dominated. They had 65-70% possession I think. EB have to organize themselves really well

interms of possession we were better side. Tv statistics say 52%-48% ball possession in favour of us. But as you can easily see they were well organised side and attacked in numbers. And also defended very well. They were better
I don't agree with your view that Kolkata clubs bring trash foreigners most of the time.Except Ranty all other prominent foreigners are from kolkata only which includes Beto,Barreto,Suoeka,Chiddi and even Odafa.Even in past also there were plenty of fine foreigners played for kolkata giants.
My comment was actually incomplete. Even if the Kolkata clubs bring quality players, they fail to realize or help them reach their potential. The Beto that u see today was brought in Indian football by MB if I remember correctly. But he was trashed by them the same season. Odafe, who is called Cobra (LOL) by MB fans only reached his peak in Goa.
But there have been more number of FALTU players that hav been brought recently starting fro Du (Eduardo Coelho), Douglas (I refuse to believe he was a footballer), Scooter to Diamondstar, Simon Storey and probably Alan Gow
Beto performed well for MB in that season too.His ousted from MB was for different reasons.Odafa played as defender for MDS in 2004 <!-- s:angry-screaming: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/angry/screaming.gif" alt=":angry-screaming:" title="Screaming" /><!-- s:angry-screaming: --> .Du is a very decent player.Regarding Douglas, I do not know from when you started following him but he was the main architect of EB ASEAN club championship win and 2 NFL titles and one of the prominent foreign medios played in India.Scooter,Storey and Gow all had impressive profile which prompted their selection.Diamondstar----No Comments.
I totally disagree about Douglas. I am not sure which Douglas you have seen, probably the one playing in Mohammedan and Bhwanipore. In Subhash Bhowmik's EB team Douglas was the most important player. If not for him EB wouldn't have won ASEAN Cup or the first five trophies they played under Bhowmik. In that period Douglas was easily the best central midfielder in India.

Its the same Douglas who was in EB during ASEAN victory. He had zero skills. All he used to do was jump on players, kick their feet. But he was master at it and seldom did the referee penalize him. Thats why I said, I refuse to believe he was a footballer
