ISL 2018-19: Delhi Dynamos 0-0 FC Goa - 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis 

#5 Are FC Goa on the fall?

Yes, FC Goa are widely tipped to stake a claim for one of the top 4 places, but to be talking on transparent terms, they have been far from their destructive best in recent outings. Hardly anyone, first of all, would have predicted a Delhi vs. Goa fixture to be without a goal.

Moreover, the draw against Jamshedpur had quite a few commonalities to this draw. Prior to the victory against Mumbai, Lobera's side battled it out against the Men of Steel at the Fatorda.

The major highlight in both these games was the lack of direct football from Goa, the football they so proficiently use to demolish opposition defences. Coro was seen dropping out of his zone many a time. Edu Bedia, who is on his best goal-scoring season, has had little to shout about since the return of ISL after the mid-season break.

Jackichand Singh's game is a clear testament of the aforementioned point. The wily winger was seen completing dribbles and initiating counters, but his ball was either too lifeless, or it never came.

Goa have kept three clean sheets on the bounce, but not many of us would believe that is what will win them the ISL.
