and best striker in I league , Ranti Martins was utterly crap in ISL. Ranti should have been the highest goal scorer in ISL as some think ISL isnt "competitve" enough ... Regarding Mendy , there was already a dip in his form in ISL 2. I aint surprised by his poor form..besides, he hardly had much pre season with his team and is also being played in wrong position.
The point is none of the so called best I league foreigners have really made a mark in ISL(so far) or has set ISL on fire to be precise....Ranti , Dudu, Duffy Barisic Ozbey Sabrosa...so no point blabbering that ISL is not competitive enough..... Norde was impressive in ISL but then again he has a better goal : match ratio in I league....
Norde was good but no where near his quality in I-League. The guy is good enough for the A-League honestly but the salary he gets at Bagan means that will never happen.
As for Dudu, just look at the hattrick game. First goal came from a mix of Darren O'Dea moving away from Dudu for a second, Keegan Pereira not closing down Dudu at the last moment, Subrata Pal and how crap he is at goalkeeping, and luck. The second goal was completely on Subrata Pal and again, how crap he is. Could not keep control of the ball, dropped it, and all Dudu needs to do is what any 10 year old could do and just tap it in. Third goal was the same, created mainly by Leo Moura after Ashutosh Mehta can't get to him on time, Dudu just needs to tap it in, which he messes up honestly but wait, the guy he is shooting at is Subrata Pal... and again, should have been saved but instead it is in the net.
His fourth goal against Delhi Dynamos was the same, he just stood in the box, two Indian defenders not even bothering with him, and he just taps it in.

@deepakc Guy scored a hattrick in one game and then became invisible in other games before scoring one more time in the semi-final.
