We need to be more clinical: Hyderabad FC’s Thangboi Singto after loss against Jamshedpur FC

Hyderabad FC head coach Thangboi Singto believes they need to be more clinical after their 2-1 loss against Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League at the JRD Tata Sports Complex, Jamshedpur on Monday. Rui Tachikawa opened the scoring for the home team in the 29th minute.

Subsequently, Jordan Murray strengthened Jamshedpur FC’s lead at the stroke of half-time. Cy Goddard was able to get one back for the Nizams but the visitors could not equalize despite dominating the possession with 57.5% and taking eight shots on target.

This was Hyderabad FC’s third loss of the season and they are yet to register their maiden win after playing four matches.

“The first 30 minutes were one of the best football matches we have played by far. But what happened after the first 30 minutes is a different story. Before Jamshedpur FC scored, we were controlling (the game), and pushing Jamshedpur FC back,” Singto said.

“But maybe football is about concentration, and a lack of communication led to that cross happening and from there, with that movement and not tracking Rei (Tachikawa), who was running for a tap-in. We can do better defensively and we need to be sharper,” he added.

Talking about the positives, Singto said they at least scored their first goal of the season when Cy Goddard found the back of the net in the 50th minute.

“We scored our first goal of the season at least, though we lost in terms of performance. I think we were happy with the first half and in patches, but, you know, we’re going to churn out the results. We need to win for everybody around us. So yeah, we have to keep working hard,” Singto opined.

As Hyderabad FC dominated the possession and took more shots on target than Jamshedpur FC, Singto showered praise on his players for their effort.

“Some of the boys really stepped up today. Ramhlunchhunga: what a game he had today! The shortest guy (on the pitch), but he was all around the pitch with some good shots on target.”

“But we need to be more clinical; football is about goals. If you want three points, you need to score goals. We scored, but Jamshedpur FC scored two, so hopefully in the next match, we go better prepared and don’t concede and score,” the head coach commented.

Hyderabad FC will next take on Mohammedan SC at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan, Kolkata on Saturday.
