Bizarre team selection from Menendez allowed Mohun Bagan to corner East Bengal...
There's a thin line of difference between being cautious and being timid. Kibu Vicuna chose to be cautious by sacrificing Salva Chamorro from the starting lineup in the Kolkata derby whereas, Alejandro Menendez appeared to be timid in leaving out Jaime Santos and Bidyasagar Singh.
To bench your best attacking players in a high voltage match like the derby makes little sense. Moreover, Santos and Singh have been in pristine form in the last couple of games and axing them from the starting line-up only benefited Mohun Bagan's defence which had looked leaky in the run up to the big ticket Calcutta Football League (CFL) clash.
