#1 Tactical mistakes
The first match of the season against ATK and the second half of the match against Jamshedpur FC saw some brilliant pieces of football from the yellow army with some nice movements through the wings and brilliant understanding between the players in the final third.
The forwards seemed to be much more lethal in those situations. In all other matches, there seemed to be a lot of misplaced passes in the midfield added by the lack of an intent resulted in the backline moving to the unpopular tactics of playing long balls at times.
There has been criticism arising from the fans about the lack of proper tactics for Indian conditions from the manager David James. The coming matches will be very important for the boss David James as his role may come under scrutiny if the team remains in this condition with the desired results not coming along.
