ssp, your thoughts on who should be dropped from this team and who should be brought in for the next big tournament? I always enjoy those. But, the win seems to have moderated you.
A tournament win is the best way to stop my rants! Always
Our selections are still stupid. The competition here could not really expose our weak players.
First player I would drop would be Mandeep (most of you might have guessed that). He may have scored several goals here, but he is nowhere as good as Karthi Selvam. Mandeep's is good at falling over or getting dispossessed in the D or mis trapping. Lalit needs to be 'retired'. Pawan Rajbar or Shilanand Lakra (who has disappeared from the scene) are miles better. Shamsher should be replaced by Simranjeet. Gurjant has been ok, but I'd prefer Dilpreet. Amit Rohidas can be a liability with his rash tackling, although he has improved recently. Varun Kumar seemed unfit prior to the Asian Games.
I expect none of the above will happen. Instead, Akashdeep will be back and outstanding players like Abishekh and Sukhjeet will be dropped.
