After suffering a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Punjab FC in their final match of the ISL 2023-24 season, East Bengal fans unleashed a barrage of criticism against coach Carles Cuadrat and the senior team. The loss dashed East Bengal's hopes of securing a playoff spot, leaving fans bitterly disappointed and outraged.

In what was a do-or-die encounter for East Bengal, the crushing defeat not only ended their playoff aspirations but also sparked fury among the fanbase. Disheartened supporters took to Twitter to vent their frustration, lambasting Cuadrat and the players for their lacklustre performance on the field.

The loss was particularly hard to swallow for fans, considering the magnitude of the match and the stakes involved. With Chennaiyin FC securing their playoff berth, East Bengal's defeat was seen as a missed opportunity and a shameful display by the team.

Many fans expressed their disappointment with the team's surrender on the field, questioning the commitment and dedication of the players. Some even went as far as suggesting that the junior teams of East Bengal could have put up a better fight, calling for changes in the senior team lineup.

Criticism was also directed towards Cuadrat, with fans questioning his tactics and decision-making throughout the season. Some fans argued that the team's success in the Kalinga Super Cup earlier in the year was largely due to the use of all six foreign players, a luxury not available in the ISL where only four foreigners are allowed in the starting lineup.

Adding insult to injury, rival fans from Mohun Bagan seized the opportunity to mock East Bengal on their defeat. They taunted East Bengal, suggesting that the club did not deserve their recent qualification for the AFC Champion League 2 playoffs following their Super Cup triumph.

Overall, the humiliating defeat to Punjab FC left East Bengal fans disillusioned and disheartened, prompting calls for a thorough reassessment of the team's performance and strategy going forward. As the season comes to a close, it remains to be seen how the club will address the concerns raised by its passionate fanbase.
