#5 Kerala Blasters should take inspiration from the positives
Despite being on the receiving end of a whipping from Melbourne City, Kerala Blasters can take heart from a few individual performances that stood out for the hosts on the night. Prasanth Karuthadathkuni was decent down the right flank and beat his man on a few occasions with some daring runs on the counter-attacks.
Both Seminlen Doungel and Halicharan Narzary were also constantly trying to make things happen for the yellow brigade as they worked relentlessly with or without the ball at their feet. In the end, the gulf in class between the two sides became pretty evident as City cruised to a thumping win but as far as the ISL and Blasters are concerned, this is a stiff learning curve and they can only improve from facing such quality opponents.
