    <p>@silicon..still optimistic about India retaining SAFF cup. Cant laugh..haaa. This dud coach cannot take India forward. He is just a time pass of AIFF who doesnt know what exactly should be the criteria for Indian football. Applying ducth football here wont work. Ashle!</p>

    <p>@Arsenalfan. I couldnt get you till now. You say it was just a practice match..how the hell man? Illogical analysis you have been making many times as someone has pointed out before. Draw with a newly formed club and u r into denial mode that this was just a practice match...how lame!!!</p>

    <br><div><br></div><div>How has my analysis been illogical? I am practically the only poster on this forum to refrain from rating India's recent performances and squad selection as we have not seen the matches, practices, or all the I-League matches to make a sure judgement. I was one of the first to not bemoan Wim's choice of only 1 striker because of the fact that our only good, competent striker is Sunil Chhetri. I will even now support his decision to play behind-closed doors because that is how every national team coach does it. All you need is some official or coach from another SAFF country coming in and seeing exactly what Wim in planning. What? Do you think Wim just randomly decided to not allow fans?</div><div><br></div><div>"Hi, I am Wim, I am an idiot who hates the fans. Lets not let them watch the match."</div><div><br></div><div>Ya, I thought so.</div><div><br></div><div>As for my decision to defend the result yesterday: Why not? At one point in the match we literally made a massive change in our fielded 11. Jeje Lalpekhlua - a player who has not been a fixture for the national team in 2 years - played a good chunk of the match as well.</div><div><br></div><div>This match is obviously not a competitive one at all. We did not need to win. You get nothing from winning, drawing, or losing these matches. The main point of these matches is to get the players more acclimated to playing against teams that are not your teammates (as they have only done so once since May), get used to different and perhaps new tactics, to let new partnerships on the field gel, and to build up even more fitness before a possible long and dirty SAFF Cup.</div><div><br></div><div>Its literally like when England took on the Platinum Stars of South Africa and only won 3-0 before the World Cup. In a competitive environment England would have won 7-0 to 10-0 even but here it was only 3-0. Practice, practice, practice. That was the point. It was the point for England and it was the point for India as well.</div>

    <p>Mr...you have been defending this idiot coach since he took the charge. Okay we have seen full strength India playing against Tajiks and still you didnt had  a single criticism for Indias dismissal performance but just an excuse of blah blah blha. </p><p><em>This match is obviously not a competitive one at all. We did not need to win. You get nothing from winning, drawing, or losing these matches.</em></p><p>Hell i hate the above lines. If a match is taken as  non competative and plays with laxity  and get drubbed or draw at last, do you think we fans should be more than happy for that prepatory match?  I sympathise those 200 pasionate fans  in the stadium who had to take the pill that Indian football is just awry drawing 1-1 against a newly formed club!!!  </p><p> </p>

    HOpe Wim is going through all  the comments passed on forums especially by me.  He is still hell bent on playing with single striker...kya chutiyapa nahi hai?  Atleast experiment once with two strikers yaar.

    Among all this rambling, do not miss @hadfadkar's post. So the 20 member squad has been announced and Wim has kept 4 options in the strike department! Apart from the 3 that visited Tajikistan, he has included Jeje. What should one make of it? Has he lost faith in Sunil, Robin and Dawson after watching them in Tajikistan so much that he had to take in Jeje who has been out of form and irregular? Or has Jeje shown promise in the practice match against Bangalore?

    <p>4 or 5 or 6 or 10 strikers...this stupid gonna apply one striker strategy. Somebody whishper in his a** to try two strikers Sunil and Jeje upfront. We have yielded more favorable result under 2 strikers than this lame(for Indian standard) 1-5-4 stratgey. </p><p>Hope @arsenalfan doesnt counter with his not so logical excuses again. </p>
