India Fans React To Lebanon Loss

Goal.com has compiled a number of the most interesting reader comments left after the Men In Blue lost 1-0 to Lebanon on Wednesday...

India coach Bob Houghton's strategy: "i was there in ambedkar and saw the match live. Yes grass was an issue BUT for both the teams. Lebanon played a beautiful one touch passing game for most of the time game whereas indias strategy was and always has been long ball game. bhutia and chetri are really good but even they cannot out jump 6`6 tall defenders. they were outnumbered and overpowered by the Lebanese defenders as the Indian midfield was nowhere to be seen. all in all it was a good performance but we need to improve! a lot."

Murali from London, UK echoes those thoughts: "This is not what we wanted... This is not Bob asked for... I know we played well from somewhere around the mid-first half mark and the whole of the second and you could also see Lebanon tiring at the end... and a couple of wrong decisions gone against us but there should be no excuses... its going to be very tough... gotta mountain to climb now... looks like Syr vs Leb Final."
