The given words are:

border crisis depend fire forces insight

issue plight road thanks trouncing word

A near disaster it borders on the unknown

The plight of an elite team given a trouncing

In a word it was a failure that needs mending

It was ideally a road to success nearly achieved

But thanks to the new signing, a complete flop

He depends too much on being fed with crosses

An insight into a team game phenomena

Is completely lacking and that became an issue

Fire power of the forwards is being questioned

It forces the management into a crisis mode

Team games depend on everyone’s total commitment

Though individual flair helps sell tickets

But at the end of the day it must be emphasized

that forays  across must be translated into goals

Bigger names are a drain on the Club’s coffers

New owners from the Middle East or India

Make a bid to avoid the impending relegation

For soccer is no more a game but an investment
