This is the first time, I am happy with the attacking front of the Indian line-up. Most of them (except few which are known ) are in-form and are good players. But defensively, not at all confidence booster. A lot will depend on Gurpreet Singh's heroics. Hope, India wins or manages a draw at the away fixture.
We are playing Laos ...just have Alwyn and Eugeneson control the middle ... Have Sunil in the hole and let Jeje and Udanta loose up top... (1-4-2-3-1) LAOS full backs overcommit and will struggle with the pace of Udanta
Given SC's & our NT track record, The story of the match will go like this,
we will see Passi up top on his own with Narzary & Alwyn supporting punting catching practice to Laos GK,
Subrata will keep with an Injured Pritam and Narayan Das in the as full backs who wont overlap or collapse to the CB's thereby invite pressure,
Jhinghan & Arnab will be the slowest CB's with Jhingan doing the diving header thing only to miss the ball and let the striker score a goal. Arnab will be red carded after he is shocked to know you cant dive two footed showing studds up to a player, Kolkata football allows that so he doesnt know.
Eugenson will be played in the left and sunil as CDM so that he gets the ball only to see no player near him to pass
Udanta will be kept in the bench and sent on with 3 mins to go after we are down 2-0 till the 87th min.
Post match SC will criticise AIFF for not allowing NRI's to be scouted for our NT. Match report wont even make it to the newspapers.
I would live to write a scathing retort to @DX but sadly....I have to agree with his witty post.... and I fear he is closer to the truth than we would like to hear. Kudos to you...
