EB has a very good defense for sure. (Leave today's match). With inclusion of Mandy, their defense will improve for sure. But the problem it seems in attacking front. Dong is out of all sorts and is lacking creative ideas altogether. Ranty as a solo striker is very poor against strong opponents. And with lack of any chances being created from midfield, Ranty is being just worthless passenger. When a shit player like Jairu is shinning among all attackers, as a coach you need to understand that there is something wrong and wrong very badly. I didnt understand the reason of continuing with Rafique today. I felt Ruidas was did better job in derby than rafique today. There is a severe lack of matching winning players, especially in creative midfielder position and wingers.
I am a have strong feeling that Mendy might play in midfield than in defense just to provide strength to team. But lets see, what Biswajit thoughts are.
And what was Joaquim doing there in the first place? He is a winger, not a natural striker. Even if he was a part of Biswajit-da's plans in the first half, he could easily have been substituted. The talk of Mendy being able to play also as a midfielder is old hat, let's see what he brings to the table. We needed a good positive striker, foreign or Indian (the likes of Lukeman, Olunga or Haokip, Jeje). The way the whole fourth foreigner issue was handled was disgusting and not expected from East Bengal officials. The defence is not good, even today Bello was left for dead on several occasions.
Jairu has been the best left wing half in this league so far, dont know why so much rough words against him? May be lack of eyesight or footballing sense brings it up on some people.
