#4 Mumbai over dependent on Emana and Everton for creating chances
When Emana and Everton have good games, Mumbai win. The day these two fail to live up to expectations, Mumbai falter in their steps. Emana and Everton have been the main creators of chances for Mumbai. Emana has also been the main anchor man for Mumbai and has been having a good ISL season so far, as he does a brilliant job in breaking up play and creating chances on the counter for Mumbai.
But on Sunday, both of them were just a shade below their usual selves. It also got reflected in the Mumbai play as the likes of Balwant and Pranjal didn’t trouble Debjit’s goal much, except for the last few minutes when they threw the kitchen sink at ATK.
What was evident from the game is that if a team manages to stop Emana and Everton, they can stop Mumbai's supply chain and, in turn, stop Mumbai from attacking.
