#5 Michael Chopra (Kerala Blasters)
Trending
Michael Chopra was resigned by Kerala Blasters this season after he left the club in 2014. The English striker was a flop in the first edition of the ISL and he is no different this season.
Chopra has only scored one goal this season despite playing all the seven Kerala games (5 starts and 2 substitute appearances). Even though the English striker has been trying to contribute much more to his team, the 32-year-old striker's physical condition (at least aesthetically) looks poor, and might be the holding the former Newcastle man back.
The Blasters have other foreign forwards like Kervens Belfort, Duckens Nazon and Antonio German in their team, but Kerala manager Steve Coppell has preferred to play Chopra up front. The English manager has received a lot of criticism from the fans for his decision to stick with the former West Ham graduate.E
Even Indian forward Thongkhosiem Haokip, who is yet to make an appearance for Kerala, deserves a chance ahead of Chopra. It is sad to see Haokip, who scored three goals from six appearances last season, sitting on the bench when Chopra plays on the pitch.
Chopra has 'Rocky' written on the back of his jersey but he hasn't lived up to that name so far.
