On missing key defenders
We missed key defenders in the Mumbai game also but today our attitude wasn't right. I wasn't happy with my team's performance after the Delhi game and today's first half also wasn't good enough. But in the second half we showed heart and with a bit of luck, we could have scored.On bouncing back
Our focus now is completely on Kerala. We will try to recover and hopefully get some players back before that game like Bojan and Gouramangi.
On if midfield was a worry
Not just the midfield, the forwards, defence, everybody had a tough time in the first half. We are still on top but we have to show better attitude in the final three group games.
