Here's the match report: http://www.epaper.eisamay.com/Details.aspx?id=19737&boxid=143233852 In gist: MB played good football in front of 15,000 spectators, though did not exert much as the turf condition was not good. Worrisome is that they conceded one. Coach was happy with the outcome after 10 days of practice.
Sony played behind Glenn (as he prefers to play). Sen is optimistic that the supply line will remain strong, particularly with Katsumi in the team. MB attack will be spearheaded by Glenn. Sen also said that he opted for Glenn over Dudu.
It is clear that some of our rival's worries of Glenn being a potato sack is unfounded. So they may direct their worries to their own potato sacks in their team.
The problems that I can see in Glenn are: a) he doesn't have a good defensive quality(Pierre Boya used to fall back to lend support to the defence last year and also used to control the pace of the game in crucial phases when the team was leading). Glenn that way is unidirectional; b) Glenn also isn't a good header, unlike Boya. If one looks at Bagan attack,they don't have good headers(not sure if Balwant would play - otherwise he is the only one); deadball situations are the key to success these days and hence there is a need for these qualities from a striker; Bagan lost many opportunities in crucial games during Odafa, b'cos of his clumsy/awkward heading "skills"!
