While David was outmuscling Apuia, winning duels, shielding balls, and making sharp passes, Diamantakos appeared not even half fit, hardly won any aerial duels, sometimes moving as if he possessed a body of wax. No words should be spared for our privileged set of veteran foreigners anyway. The outcry against poor referring is expected, but it is hard to digest the contributions of the Referee in ensuring the clumsiness of  Cleiton in not being agile enough in the opponents' box or EB not to create a single clear opportunity in the second half. The unfair referring is actually shielding the incompetence of the EB think tank. Fixtures of January were known in advance; could we bring any reinforcements before the Mumbai match? We discussed whether Santosh trophy players would be good enough for ISL; alas, we could not even recruit a single Santosh trophy player. Mohammedan had definitely lower odds than EB in securing a top-six finish, yet they boosted the squad. The inclusion of Manvir Singh provided the much-needed space for Franca, which eventually resulted in the all-important free kick in the dying minute, in which they capitalized and bagged a full 3 points. They are poised to surpass us shortly. The downfall of Nandha Kumar is irresistible. Are we doing anything to build squads for next season at all? We have already missed offering pre-contracts to some free players who could've bolstered our teams' weak links. The comedy is that we are anticipating the veteran foreigner combo of EB outrunning the young and energetic Turkmen in AFC in March.
