Source: ISL Mohun Bagan SG’s attacking talisman, Greg Stewart, currently back in Scotland for minor treatment, might have felt a pang watching his team take on Odisha FC from afar. In his absence, Bagan’s attack, though superior than their opponents, lacked its usual sharpness, falling short in the final-third without that lethal finishing touch. So far, Bagan have secured just one win against a top-ranked team, defeating North East United in a narrow victory. However, in a clash against table-toppers Bengaluru FC, the Mariners suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat. They have claimed convincing victories over the lower-ranked East Bengal FC, Mohammedan SC and Hyderabad FC. Yet, in all three matches, it was Stewart who played a pivotal role in the critical area just outside the opponent’s penalty box. Against Mohammedan Sporting and East Bengal, Stewart’s presence was evident as he tore through defences, but against Odisha FC, despite Dimi Petratos’ heavy workload across the pitch, that decisive edge in the final-third was missing. Without Stewart, even Jamie Maclaren struggled against Odisha. The Australian striker, who has netted two goals in five appearances so far, found limited delivery from the flanks or central areas. Petratos, Bagan’s standout performer over the past two seasons with 22 goals and 14 assists, has managed just one goal and two assists this term. Previously, Petratos was known for his incisive passes and long-range shots from outside the opponent’s penalty box, but this season he has yet to replicate that form. Head coach Jose Molina had discovered a promising combination between Maclaren and Stewart that worked well in the last three games, but with Stewart now nursing a knee injury, it remains uncertain if he will be back for Bagan’s next fixture against Jamshedpur on November 23. Meanwhile, Manvir Singh salvaged a point for Bagan by heading in a Petratos corner from a tight angle. At the beginning of this season, including the Durand Cup and the first three ISL matches, Bagan’s defence was a major concern. However, that issue has now eased somewhat, as Molina’s team has conceded just one goal in their last four games. Central defenders Alberto Rodriguez and Tom Aldred have been exceptional, thwarting attacks down the middle and proving nearly unbeatable in aerial duels, especially in set-pieces. Odisha FC’s Roy Krishna posed a challenge with his pace, occasionally slipping past the defence, but goalkeeper Vishal Kaith stood tall with some outstanding saves. The only lapse came from a misjudgement by Ashis Rai, who made a miskick inside the box towards Kaith, who opted to catch rather than clear it. This led to an indirect free kick in the six-yard box, which Hugo Boumous capitalised on from Ahmed Jahouh’s touch to find the back of the net. Molina made his first substitution in the 57th minute, a forced change due to Anirudh Thapa limping off and being replaced by Deepak Tangri. In the 77th minute, he brought on Sahal Abdul Samad and Jason Cummings for fresh energy, followed by Ashique Kuruniyan in the 88th minute. However, these changes came somewhat late and might have had more impact if introduced earlier. As Bagan prepare for their matches against Jamshedpur FC and Chennaiyin FC in the coming weeks, they face tricky challenges. Whether Stewart returns for the next game is uncertain, but in his absence, the Mariners will need to demonstrate the depth of a champion team, the one capable of thriving without being dependent on any single player.

The hosts took an early lead with a goal from Hugo Boumous via an indirect free kick, but Manvir Singh equalized with a well-placed header later in the first half. Although both sides created several chances in the second half, neither could find a decisive goal. Odisha started energetically, winning an indirect free kick after Asish Rai’s back pass was picked up by goalkeeper Vishal Kaith. From just six yards out, Hugo Boumous converted to give the hosts a fourth-minute lead. Mohun Bagan immediately pushed forward, nearly leveling in the ninth minute when Dimitrios Petratos aimed directly at goal. Amrinder Singh, however, was quick to deflect the shot. The Mariners continued to press, and Roy Krishna almost scored on a pass from Saviour Gama, but Kaith’s quick reaction stopped the attempt. The visitors’ persistent attacks paid off in the 36th minute when Manvir Singh headed in a Petratos corner to level the score. Manvir timed his leap perfectly, catching the Odisha defense, including Amrinder, off guard.

Odisha’s best chance to regain the lead came in the 73rd minute when Ahmed Jahouh’s precise free kick found Amey Ranawade. However, Kaith made an excellent save, keeping the score level despite the Mariners’ struggle to clear. Substitutions followed, with Molina bringing on Jason Cummings and Sahal Abdul Samad in search of a winner. Sergio Lobera responded with Diego Mauricio and Carlos Delgado to strengthen Odisha’s defense and attack.

[ad_1] Cleiton Silva and Madih Talal for East Bengal (Image: Debasis Sen) Yet another Kolkata derby in the Indian Super League (ISL) ended in defeat for East Bengal – a ninth without a win, including eight losses. The record of conceding at least two goals was kept intact as Mohun Bagan won the clash 2-0 at the Salt Lake Stadium on Saturday night. It was East Bengal’s fifth consecutive league defeat to start the season. Why are they not getting into rhythm? What is going wrong for them? There are more questions than answers to East Bengal’s situation. Former head coach Carles Cuadrat was forced to resign because of fan pressure and Oscar Bruzon, highly regarded, was brought in to save East Bengal from further misery. He came, he saw, but why did he stand in the dugout? On the biggest matchday, Bruzon, who landed less than 20 hours before the game at 3:30 am, was in the dugout as the head coach of East Bengal. “I spoke to coach Bino (George) and spent online sessions with the team,” said Bruzon in the post-match press conference. Sadly, Bino George, who was interim coach, was neglected the moment Bruzon became available. George, who spent numerous training sessions with the team and had them playing eye-catching football in Jamshedpur, could have been given charge of the derby as a matter of respect. The lack of intent to win was evident in the East Bengal players throughout the game. The underwhelming display of football was saddening for the thousands of supporters who filled the stadium with high hopes. The difference in skills and fitness between the two teams was crystal clear. The East Bengal players, as in every other game this season, looked unfit in the last quarter. Bagan’s bench strength is far superior to East Bengal’s. When a team can bring in Sahal Abdul Samad and Dimitri Petratos in the second half, it speaks a lot about the depth of squad. Whereas for East Bengal, it was a struggle to field a threatening forward line with Dimitrios Diamantakos not fully fit. East Bengal technical team with Oscar Bruzon and Bino George (Image: Debasis Sen) What is the way forward? This is a question asked by thousands of East Bengal fans and football critics for the last few years, yet it remains unanswered. East Bengal might be in for even worse days up ahead – Anwar Ali’s verdict, a potential transfer ban, and financial compensation all await. If Anwar gets a four-month ban, then he will miss half the season. With a transfer ban, East Bengal’s hopes of bringing in Robson Robinho, the former Bashundhara Kings forward, will fade. Cleiton Silva, whatever service he gave last season, hasn’t done the business this time and is reportedly not in Bruzon’s plans. Let’s also not forget potentially huge financial sanctions. Just a few years ago, East Bengal fans mocked their arch-rivals for selling their club and merging with ATK. #RemoveATK slogans and social-media trends flooded the internet. Later, the ATK prefix was removed and the new entity, Mohun Bagan Super Giant, was formed. The team have consistently delivered since this merger. “It was after this joint venture that Mohun Bagan has become stronger than ever,” Debasish Dutta, Mohun Bagan’s general secretary, told the media while pointing out the mockery the club was subjected to. “It was the way forward.” Anwar Ali for East Bengal (Image: Debasis Sen) Whether someone likes it or not, money talks. Leicester City’s 2016 EPL triumph won’t happen often. Mohun Bagan’s squad is worth Rupees 70 crores, while East Bengal’s is valued at around 40 crores. That difference was evident. Now, the question is, for how much longer will Emami tolerate making such losses? JSW with Bengaluru FC, RPSG with Mohun Bagan and the City Football Group with Mumbai City – these are all conglomerates with other big sporting ventures that can fund their ISL sides. So, is the way forward for East Bengal such a merger? Whatever it is, the answer has to come soon, for the sake of the club, the fans and for Indian football.
