What to say?
@Jay , we all are watching this game from a very long time. As two drinks break is there for 2 mins minimum each. Then 4 mins are compulsory. Then if all the time wastage we see thatâs definitely more than 3 min in complete 90min game.
2+5=7 (total)
2+2=4 (due to drinks break only)
Changes and other wastage=7-4=3min (only?)
Is it possible? Am not getting the logic of this activity really.
HmmmâŚdoes seem questionable! 
To dissect this further, I am wondering why wouldnât this be questionable to other football pundits? 
ATK Mohun Bagan had a passing accuracy of 51.6% against FC Goa, their worst against a team in the Indian Super League. 114 of their 221 passes were successful. Faulty.

Not easy to create many chances against big clubsâ - ATK Mohun Bagan boss Antonio Habas happy with draw against FC Goa
After back-to-back games without a win, the Kolkata giantsâ head coach Antonio Habas said that his team had the opportunity to beat Goa but they wasted their chances.
âA lot of alternatives for both the teams. The scored in the final third. We had the chance to win the match before we scored the goal. I want to win all three points. But one point is very important,â Habas said after the game.
Habas believes it is not possible to create a lot of chances while playing against big clubs.
âI think in a big match between two big teams, lots of chances to score are not possible. It is impossible that one team will have four, five or six chances,â he said.
âMaybe we were afraid to lose. I am very happy with the performance,â he added.

Csaba Laszlo: Chennaiyin lacked creativity against East Bengal

âWe had control of the game. But we did not win the game. Not that we did not control the game but we did not win the game. 11 against 11 you have to win the game. Sometimes it is not easy to play against 10. If you play 10 against 11 itâs easier to win the game if you create chances which we did not have. I am disappointed about it,â Laszlo said.
Chennaiyin created a couple of chances but lacked intent in front of goal. Laszlo, however, defended his players and said that his team needs to pick themselves up and keep going in the competition.
Hyderabad FC will hope to consolidate their position in the top-four with a win over the bottom-placed Odisha FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Tuesday at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco.
Manuel Marquezâs Hyderabad FC have been tactically superior to most teams in the league. The Nizams have played brilliantly on transition and through buildup play as well.
They have earned 16 points from 11 games and are 4th in the standings. The goalless draw with Mumbai City FC showed Hyderabad FCâs immaculate and calculative approach to pin down opponents in the midfield.
Odisha FC showed signs of recovery and improvement after an underwhelming start to the season. However, Stuart Baxterâs side failed to play their natural game against Chennaiyin FC and fell to a 2-1 loss. The Juggernauts lack in team cohesion which has hurt the sideâs tactical applicability so far. They are placed 11th in the standings with just 6 points on the board.
