ISL 2018-19: NorthEast United FC 2-1 Kerala Blasters, 5 Talking points

#4 Kerala's problem of conceding late goals continue to haunt them

Kerala need to come back stronger

For a coach the most heartbreaking stuff to see is his/her team concede two goals in injury time to lose a game which he/she was leading for 90 minutes. Kerala this season have faced such situations on multiple occasions.

In the game against Mumbai, they were leading and poised to gain three points but then a Pranjal Bhumij screamer happened to wash away their hopes.

Today it went a degree higher with Kerala conceding twice in added time to see the game go out of their grasps. A lose like this hampers the team spirit and motivation. Conceding two goals in injury time to lose a game and then move on takes a lot of character and the upcoming days will show us what sort of attitude this Kerala Blaster bunch have.

David James needs to address this issue that has plagued his side this season if they are to have any hopes of making it to the semi-finals.
