Rowllin Borges

For a player who has already played a handful of games for the Indian national team, Rowllin Borges' decline has been rapid. From being a vital cog for the Highlanders, he has turned into a liability.

There is no doubt that the 25-year-old is a talented footballer. That he is not putting his talents to good use is criminal and shocking. Against Jamshedpur, Borges put his team in danger by losing the ball on multiple occasions inside his own half.

The NorthEast United midfielder was slow and always seemed hesitant on the ball, making numerous unforced errors. Usually composed, Rowllin panicked every-time he was hounded by Jamshedpur's players, thereby conceding possession.

He was once regarded as an important creative outlet for his team. None of that creativity was on show tonight. He will be keen to bounce back as soon as possible.
