Life was too easy for Sandesh Jhingan and Nemanja Lakic-Pesic who looked solid throughout the game, nullifying the attacker totally.
He totally looked off against Kerala and struggled to even pass the ball. It was Edu Garcia and Jayesh Rane who looked very lively with the ball throughout the game.
After having a miserable outing, he was eventually replaced by another striker Everton in the 68th minute.
Even though he had a poor outing, Steve Coppell must be confident about Uche to play him in the next game as he has an excellent track record of scoring goals.
