ISL 2021-22, Jamshedpur FC Team Preview: Squad, Fixtures, Key Players, Strength, Weakness, Predictions

Jamshedpur
FC
Strengths

Jamshepur
FC
have
always
been
a
good
side
in
the
history
of
the
league
but
they
have
somehow
failed
to
replicate
their
performance.
Going
into
the
new
season,
the
Red
Miners
look
like
a
team
with
a
strong
mix
of
players
and
a
balanced
one
too
on
paper.
They
have
experienced
names
in
the
defence
in
the
likes
of
Eli
Sabia,
Peter
Hartley,
Anas
Edathodika,
and
Narender
Gahlot.

In
the
mid-field,
the
club
has
Greg
Stewart,
Len
Doungel,
Pronay
Halder,
Boris
Singh,
and
Alex
Lima.
They
are
all
seasoned
campaigners
and
make
the
midfield
line-up
solid
for
the
Red
Miners.
As
these
players
played
alongside
each
other
in
the
previous
season
too,
they
won’t
take
long
to
gel
up
and
put
their
best
foot
forward
when
the
season
kicks
off.

In
the
forward
line,
coach
Coyle
has
trusted
lieutenants
in
Nerijus
Valskis,
Jordan
Murray,
Farukh
Choudhary,
Ishan
Pandita.

The
presence
of
all
these
players
give
Jamshedpur
a
great
depth
in
all
three
departments
and
if
they
start
the
pre-season
on
a
high
then
they’ll
be
able
to
carry
the
momentum
forward.

Weakness:

Despite
having
several
good
players
in
his
ranks,
Jamshedpur’s
coach
will
definitely
miss
a
creative
midfielder.
Against
tougher
opponents,
the
team
might
face
problems
creating
chances
and
that
will
be
a
concern.

Most
of
the
midfielders
in
the
Jamshedpur
lineup
are
defensive
and
box-to-box
players.
The
coach
faces
the
challenge
of
whom
to
give
this
crucial
responsibility
in
the
squad.

The
Red
Miners’ reliance
over
wingers
might
also
be
a
problem
but
coach
Coyle
–
who
lifted
CFC
from
dire
straits
during
his
stint
with
his
astute
tactical
moves
–
might
even
do
the
same
for
Jamshedpur.

Prediction

Jamshedpur
FC
look
like
a
good
team
on
the
paper
and
given
coach
Coyle’s
experience
of
breathing
life
in
the
players
with
his
tactical
nous,
the
Red
Miners
seem
capable
of
making
it
to
the
playoffs
stage.
