Fans are critising Jithin but what do you except from him when his team mate does this? Jithin put him on the plates, could have taken a shot but no... Then y'all blame Jithin 🤷🏽♂️

How is Khalid Jamil still relying on a 4-4-2 against a physically strong New Zealand side in 2026, especially when India are struggling to compete in midfield?
The problem isn't just the formation. With only two central midfielders, India are getting outnumbered in the middle, struggling to retain possession and unable to build attacks. The team then resorts to long balls, but we barely win any aerial duels or second balls up front.
What concerns me even more is Jamil's squad selection. He consistently picks only 3-4 central midfielders in a 23-man squad. You will rarely find an international squad with such limited midfield options. Does he not trust his midfielders, or is the plan simply to bypass midfield and play long balls?
Playing direct football isn't necessarily wrong, but there needs to be a clear plan to win second balls, support the forwards and regain possession.
Khalid Jamil and his coaching staff need to rethink their approach or step away from the national team setup. The AIFF's long-serving national team staff must also be held accountable for the lack of progress. The AIFF Technical Director and National Team Director should also be held accountable and make way for fresh leadership.

@7negiashish Both Noufal and Valpuia should be there in Newzealand. And why these pigs Ashique, Manvir and Liston and Mehtab are getting callup again and again. Don't they have any shame left
