I-League 2017: 5 biggest flops this season

#2 Jeje Lalpekhlua

Jeje Lalpekhlua is not at his incisive best

The striker from Mizoram was one of the biggest shining lights in a promising campaign for Mohun Bagan last season which ended in a triumph in the Federation Cup. The top scorer in the cup with eight goals, he was awarded the Best Player of the Tournament due to his consistency which included a hat-trick in the semis against Shillong Lajong and a brace in the final.

Successes in the I-League and at the continental stage meant that he was a hot commodity at the beginning of the season with East Bengal showing interest in the forward. Although he has stuck around with Bagan, he is nowhere close to his best.

Looking out of shape and at times out of ideas, the Indian international has failed to inspire any confidence in the Green and Maroon camp. This has resulted in him yoyoing in the starting line-up and the results haven’t been good.

He has bagged four goals from 11 games this season and hasn’t found the back of the net since the 2-1 victory over league-leaders Aizawl in early February.
