#2 Abinash Ruidas exposed as a left wing back
Ad

Since their very first game, Mumbai City FC coach, Alexandre Guimarães has consistently played his players out of position. Midfielders operating as defenders and defenders playing in the middle of the park, the Costa Rican has attempted to completely change the way Mumbai play this season.
However, this completely backfired tonight. Abinash Ruidas played as a left wingback and was thoroughly exposed. Kerala's players took turns to unnerve him and caught him napping on multiple occasions. They double-teamed him and he was caught in no mans' land for large parts of the first half. He was also guilty of ball watching when he let full-back, Rino Anto whip in the assist for Kerala's opener.
