5 Players who were a huge disappointment with their performances in ISL 2019-20

#4 Modou Sougou (Mumbai City FC)

Modou Sougou was a shadow of his former self

Modou Sougou was one of last season's finds as the Senegalese international scored 12 goals in 18 competitions, second only to FC Goa's Ferran Corominas. The West Coast Brigade faithful expected him to increase his tally but could muster only a quarter of goals he produced the previous time.

Mumbai City FC's head coach Jorge Costa deployed Sougou in the right flank rather than centrally and that can be attributed as a major reason why he stumbled. Last season, Arnold Issoko played in that position for the Islanders and the Congolese international bagged 8 assists. Sougou, on the other hand, could come up with only two this time.

Sougou likes to hang at the shoulders of the defenders and use his first touch and pace to outrun them and smash the ball into the back of the net. Playing wide didn't give him enough opportunities to do that this season.

With City Football Group becoming majority shareholders of Mumbai City FC and the conglomerate known for his long-term vision, Sougou's time in the royal blue colours might be up.
