Negative Points
=============
1. Abhishek Yadav should be shown the doors along with Climax Lawrence. Though Abhishek scored a good goal but he missed some cruical opportunities, which proved to be decisive. Also, Abhishek does not seem to provide any boost to the team with his lazy runs. Even his heading is of no use. Abhishek does not seem like scoring, he should learn from Surkumar.."If you do not shoot , You do not Score...".Climax is basically useless and lacks technique required to play in the National team.
2. Central Midfield needs a skilled playmaker. Someone who can hold the ball. Today we saw most of their(Yemen's) goal scored through counter attacks which were mainly because of the midfield who repeatedly gave the possession.
3. For the first time around Indian defence looked quite vulnerable to quick forwards.
4. If defending was poor, then Goalkeeping was way below standards. Subrata Paul was found out of position most of the times.
5. Bob houghton's selection is questionable. One can't just give a tall guy a place in the national team due to his heading ability. Yes, it's about Abhishek Yadav. He lacks fitness. Its heartening to see how one striker(Sunil) is covering most of the attacking half and the other(Yadav) is just jogging aroung waiting for the ball.It is quite unacceptable when India have so many talented players knoking the doors of the national team with the likes of Rafi, Jeje, Robin.

Mate....I think the fitness level improved quite a bit when you compare them with how they played against Hong Kong and Namibia.
