Waiting for a star to raise his hand

The midfielder fell back for the last two matches after Dilip Tirkey’s injury, and has helped the opposition more than his own team. His passing has been atrocious, his trapping non-existent and his ball clearing next to ridiculous. ‘‘One of the best players,’’ according to coach Gerhard Rach, Vivek has gone from boom to bust in three games flat.

Tushar Khandekar

Tushar had been playing well for quite some time in the domestic circuit and deserved his chance in teh absence of the regular forwardline. He got it all right, but has failed miserably, failing to guide even the most basic chances goalwards. It’s time he realised that the more experienced strikers are not going to be out forever, and he needs to work hard.

Adam Sinclair

Sinclair continues to baffle everyone. He is hardly visible in attack, he does not appear in midfield and of course is not a defender. What is his role in the team then? No one seems to know the answer to that.

Harpal Singh

As a full back, Harpal got the chance of a lifetime in Tirkey’s absence. He also had an opportunity to prove his detractors wrong and convince people of his claims. Needless to say, he messed up big time.
