India suffered a 1-0 defeat against Oman on Tuesday and remain winless after their first five matches.
Former India international goalkeeper Henry Menezes felt that the lack of a larger pool of players is affecting Indian football the most.
Speaking to Goal after India’s defeat, Menezes opined, “It is a new-look defence. They are making mistakes. The problem is we don't have options. We need to have a larger pool of players. We played like headless chickens in attack today. There is nobody in the striking zone. We made defensive errors and that cost us a goal.
