Let them bring their best possible side. Friendlies should be a tough test. If we qualify for Asian Cup, which looks a good possibility, we should aim for getting the best exposure possible.
Playing against Japan, Australia, Korea etc will be devastating in 2019 if we are currently not sure if we can match full strength Palestine or Lebanon.
Compared to playing under Wim Koevarmans, this team is much better under Constantine.
We lacked that self belief and determination during Koevarmans era, now we may lack technique, tactics etc., but atleast we have a winning attitude which i very much like.
On non-FIFA dates, clubs are not bound to release players for national duty. If multiple players are not in the first team, would the team be called the 'national team' and wins against them contribute to ranking points? If yes, it will be suffice to play a reserve national team (but designated the A team) and yet get points.
As long as they are representing the Football Association as National Team, points will be there unless the squad is designated as U-23. For example, if BFC decides not to release players for NT Friendly, then also points will be earned by India and opposition country. It is just that on FIFA match dates, countries are looking for Friendly as clubs are rule bound to release players.
A good example worksheet on how High, moderate , Less points are achieved with examples.
When a tactic is executed to perfection, regardless of what tactic it
is, the adjectives change. Hoof morphs into ping, parking the bus morphs
into incisive on the break, and boring sideways passes turns into
virtuoso passing moves.
When Manchester United was winning everything in the 1990s using same Long Ball technique with Beckham, Giggs, Keane, Scholes, Yorke, Cole - noone had any problem with Long Ball.
