First game at home against Oman we will need to take advantage of the home advantage. Hopefully the players will have had almost a month of rest and some training... a point at least should be taken from here. Against Guam, even away, we need to win. This would be the match in which India says "Ya, we are not taking shit lightly this time". At least three goals in Guam.
Against Iran I am pretty sure we will lose sadly. However, you never know. They have a match against Guam before us so will they even call up their best players?
Turkmenistan away I would take a point in all honesty. ISL is hectic for players and to go to Turkmenistan is not an easy task. Away in Oman I would like to see us try for a draw but I can see us losing.
Again, home against Guam, we need to trash them! No holding back. We might need to make up goal difference here. Same with Turkmenistan, get 3 points.
We need to finish with at least 11 points from these 8 matches. Will that be enough... I am not sure. We might have to settle for 3rd, behind Iran and Oman.
First is against Oman at home at we have almost 2 months to bring together players, strengthen the defense as much as possible. This Omani lot are so fast, they can just run past you if you give them a fair bit of space. A draw here, then we can start dreaming, a defeat, then we might have to settle for the 3rd provided we play well and beat Turkmenistan and Guam.
So who could be the possible players to be called up?! anyone new that the coach has identified to fill the pockets of the many holes in our team?
India should play like FC goa praising game specially against Oman and Iran don't give them space. there players are very skillful can create magic it little space they get.
UAE is the Host and Automatic Qualifier for AFC Cup 2019. But they will continue playing as this is also World Cup Qualifier. I wonder how they will accomodate them in the whole process. Keep on playing till WCQ teams are decided. If you have to only play for Asia Cup Qualification, then leave. Teams in the Group of UAE are at disadvantage as they will be left from qualifying for AFC Cup as their Group Leader is already automatically qualified!!!!
