3-1 FT Second half was much better. We need to get faster, need better players in defence and also keep guys like amarjit, Raynier in Midfield. Good to see Sahal performance improve as the game went on. Little disappointed with chettri not being able to convert that header. Udanta as usual cant finish.
I think this is the first time in many years not all of us are disappointed in a loss. The effect of Igor Stimac clearly shows that we won't give up even if we are down few goals. But yes we need few more options in the defence as well as at the front. We need to be more physical. Overall a good start and we need to see how we play against either Vietnam or Thailand.
Even commentators are also saying the same , the change of game , before it was gurpreet kicks the ball to opposition half and we chase it from there but now we are passing and trying to hold the ball. The change starts from there and it can only improve .
India performed better in the second half. Finishing should have been better, defence cannot afford to let in soft goals. We should understand that however talented guys like Brandon, Soosairaj, Bheke, Amarjit and Raynier are, they are just starting out in the NT; they need to gell with other players and fully grasp the new coach's tactics. They need some time for that.
Let's hope that the team comes up with a better performance in the third-place playoff on the 8th.
