Both teams started in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Kibu's tactics was to employ the same system that got the result against Hyderabad. Allow possession to MCFC and press them high. However a major component in that system was sitting in the bench. #YennumYellow

I have no idea why Rahul didn't start. There is a suggestion that he was not fit for 90 mins. If that's the case then Putiea as a replacement is not the answer. This is nothing against Putiea. Bcoz he is a really good player. And tried his level best. #YennumYellow

The major problem with Sahal and Putiea on the wing is no pace on wings. Both are wide 10s. Playing a one wide 10 is a really good tactics bcoz you have pace of another winger in the opposition flank. By not selecting Rahul we created a huge problem. #YennumYellow

The problem was there in both attack and defense. As Rahul track backs and provide support to Nishu also. If Rahul was injured then my pick for his replacement would be either Prashant or Ritwick Das. Even if you sacrifice a bit on final product, the pace will be there. 4/14
Have seen some criticism for Sahal. He needs to improve his finishing there is nothing to debate about that. But however he is a really livewire in the game. He creates lot of transfers we create. It's just that the final ball or the final finish is lacking. Has to improve. 5/14
In first half the linkup play was lacking also between our front 4. But that started working well as the game went on. Murray is indeed a good striker, but he is not really a ruthless 9 like Angulo or Krishna. We certainly lack that in our sqaud. #YennumYellow

For the first goal the mistake came indeed from Vicente back pass. He is always looks vurnable when he plays deep. Second half he started playing higher up the pitch and was really Influential. I think with juande coming in. We can play Vicente higher up the pitch. #ISL

Now the defensive structure was all over the place in the first half. The space between 2 CBs were very wide. And we played a highline again which was different from last game. Also fullback didn't sit in as they did last game. #YennumYellow

There was lack of communication between the two CBs also. All of these comes probably from the false security of costa being back in the team. Costa is certainly our best defender but he had a bad 20-30 mins that cost us. #YennumYellow

Costa-Sandeep pair do have promise. However they do need to develop as a CB pair by playing games together. Second half both of them worked really well. It's Just that first 10 mins had cost us the game already. The second goal as a defense shouldn't be conceeded at all. 10/14
Now onto ref. If the first goal was a pen then the foul on Murray is also pen. The Sandeep pen, Sandeep got the ball. Some are saying the offside goal of Murray should stand. I haven't seen the replay and they didn't really show it in hotstar. Albino again good. #ISl

Now it's extremely hard to beat a star studded team like MCFC without some luck going our away. Which really didn't happen. And Armindher was great for them. After going 2 goals down. The players did show the mentality to go at them. #YennumYellow

There are lot of negativity around and I don't really want to repeat this again. We are not really play off team. Anything that needs a building takes time. Give all of them time. I know Trust the process get lots of mocking. But do Trust the Process. #YennumYellow

Performance matters. At present point of time results shouldn't. We know our weakness. From the EB second half this team is showing the mentality and work rate. Let's keep supporting them. #YennumYellow
