It was a bad team display: Gregory 

The defending champion has tasted victory just twice in this campaign and still has two games left in the league phase. CFC head coach John Gregory cut a disappointed figure at the presser as he lamented his side’s poor display against Nelo Vingada’s Kerala.

“The performance sums up our season. We beat the team at the top of the league (Bengaluru FC) and then, we go and lose to a team that is ninth (now eighth) in the table. We have had a lack of consistency in our performances. Last week, everybody was outstanding (against BFC). Tonight (Friday), it was the opposite. It was a bad team display, along with bad individual performances. Kerala took full advantage of it,” he noted.

Gregory also pointed at the lack of experience in the squad as a reason for the inconsistency.
