ISL: Kerala Blasters 0-0 Mumbai City FC - 5 talking points

Today’s result marked the fifth successive draw in the ISL

#3 Mumbai miss Moritz

Mumbai’s Andre Moritz missed the game with a hamstring injury

Andre Moritz, the man who scored a hat-trick against Pune and who has been Mumbai’s main playmaker was missing in action today due to the injury he picked up in the last game. And his absence was clearly felt by Mumbai, who failed to get many attacks of note going. David James in the Kerala goal was the less busy of the two keepers while Subrata Paul was called into action quite a few times.

There was no creativity in Mumbai’s midfield today and a lot of the build-up looked standard fare. It also saw Nicolas Anelka dropping back really deep to try and make up for Moritz’s absence. The Brazilian is out with a hamstring injury and Mumbai will be hoping that he will be back soon to boost their campaign.
