Manvir Singh , who was rated as the worst player in Asian Cup 2023 , having a tremendous game against JFC . Makes me think , Constantine found Manvir Singh from I league when he was unknown in Indian football circuit and now we have Stimac who moans about lack of strikers but he's never in the country or at football games .
Not sure why are you praising him so much. You will get know his true picture, if we take out their foriegners, mainly Petratos. Our NT needs strikers and not wingers. Also he is never a good winger & it's just a one good game for him. Also he doesn't trust Indian players, most of his passes to foreign players. Petratos is one of the top player in ISL. Also Kauko & Boumous gamble is working for MB.
What I meant to say is that Stimac might find solutions to the NT striker issue if he looks beyond ISL . Though Manvir is a winger , his discovery was a similar case. Agree with you about the fact that he has got terrific strikers in front of him but he has got the most assists in ISL this season and he has been decent .
