#2 Bengaluru FC need to get their act together and fast

After the whirlwind start of the season, Bengaluru FC were expected to run away with the League. The loss at East Bengal though exposed to the rest of the League chinks in the armour which no one saw through.

The goals also seemed to have dried up, apart from the penalty, Bengaluru FC struggled to create chances from open play. A team which seemed to have goals coming from everywhere are now searching for the next one.

The biggest problem though seems to be the defence, Johnson and Juanan are both struggling when balls are played behind them. The only way to counter that is to play a defensive line much deeper, something which goes against the philosophy of Albert Roca.

Next up for Bengaluru FC is Al-Wehdat away in the AFC Champions League. Best of luck!
