Diego Forlan, Amrinder Singh, Sunil Chhetri and Pronay Halder. This is the bevvy of names missing from the Mumbai City lineup for varying range of reasons. Each of them game changers in their own right.

You can pick and identify the areas Mumbai need reinforcements. Haokip and Defederico did a great job in the first half against Atletico de Kolkata in playing the false number nine positions, but you can fit squared pegs in round holes for as long.

In the middle of the park, they definitely missed the robust presence of Pronay Halder, as Kerala overran the midfield in multiple occasions in the first half. Sony Norde’s impact when he came on advertised his importance, a problem easily solvable if your goalkeeper is Indian. (read Amrinder Singh).

Get those players back, and they might be the best team (on paper at least).
