#3 Employ Malouda in a deeper role

Marcos Tébar has been deployed as the central midfielder with an objective to link the offence and defence seamlessly. Florent Malouda has been excused of that role and placed in a more advanced position. The Frenchman has been entrusted with the responsibility of launching attacks by linking the explosive triumvirate of Kean Lewis, Richard Gadze and Marcelinho.

But this move has proved to be ineffective thus far as Tébar hasn’t been up to the mark. He might be an excellent ball player but in the Delhi Dynamos setup he has not lived up to the billing. The Spanish midfielder needs to be utilised in a better manner to yield dividends for the team. With only one interception in the first leg, Tébar has not fulfilled his potential. Zambrotta must bring Malouda deeper to partner the Spaniard in order to maintain the neat interplay between offence and defence.
