Stimac maintains lower PPM than kovermans. Glad we are playing decent teams at least. Questionable to play Jhingan who made mistake at 69 min and the first goal. Squad selection was questionable. Team being clueless up front continues. Ishan Pandita comes for the last 10 min does not even look to press others. He seems to just jog. Need more forwards to play. Can't keep blaming coach as well. Who can he pick who is match fit ?
Glan Martins was pathetic in DM, slow as a snail and gets caught out of position every single time. Also physically poor against Arab teams. The less said about Jhingan the better! Overall pathetic performance as expected. ISL tigers and internationally rats. Play whoever you want, one must admit, we just dont have the talent.
People will say that we held Jordan, a team ranked higher than us for 75 mins, but that was sheer good luck. If the Jordan attackers had converted their chances, we would have suffered a drubbing
What was utterly disappointing was that we played without any planning or strategy. There was no one to hold the ball in midfield with the occasional hoofed ball being hopefully played towards Manvir and Chhetri. Only Yasir Ahmed (that free-kick which struck the bar), Gurpreet, Glan and Mishra manged to give a moderately good account of themselves I know that the team would be bolstered by the return of some key players like Liston, Apuia and Bheke in the Asian Cup qualifiers and that we would be playing lower-ranked teams but there are hardly any positive takeaways from this performance
