Robin Singh didn't have the best of his game against his former club Bengaluru FC. He was caught offside a total of six times in the match.

The former Indian international's habit of sauntering behind the defensive line when the ball is with his team cost Pune dearly as he could have been fed one-on-one numerous time. If he plans to come from behind and use his muscle strength to get past the defenders, he needs to time it properly as otherwise, the plan would bear no fruits.

Furthermore, at the 15th minute when Stankovic tried to find him, he was in an offside position. It resulted in an own goal is a different story altogether. But, if Robin Singh wants to make his way back to the Indian team, he needs to improve on this aspect.
