Pal Pillai/Focus Sports/ ISL Mumbai City aren't going anywhere Igor Angulo of Mumbai City FC celebrates his second goal against FC Goa. Now, though, Ivan Vukomanovic needs to find a way to knit them all together into a coherent unit right pronto, otherwise another spectacular self-destruction looks increasingly likely. There are clear signs of promise - Sahal's first goal in years, Vincy Baretto's debut, and Antonio Luna's ability - even if Rahul KP's unfortunate injury will not help matters. Then on Thursday, the sharp finishing they had shown against Bagan disappeared, with one particular miss a certainty for the season's blooper reel. Boumous had the freedom of the Fatorda last Friday. Admittedly the Blasters won't be the only side who struggle against Bagan (see above), but very few are likely to make it as easy to play through. Hi Blasters, can we stop doing this now, please? If it was a way-too-open midfield (and consequently defence) that was the problem in their first game, it was attackers missing open goals that was the issue in the second. The scary thing, though? They did all that while never really slipping out of second gear. The duo, and a brilliant Liston Colaco, were superb in the season-opener as they swatted aside Kerala Blasters. So much so, that saying that the Boumous-Krishna connection will define this season's league seems like stating the obvious. Signing Hugo Boumous was a masterstroke, and on the back of early evidence Boumous and Roy Krishna are loving playing with each other. This season, it's not so much the scoring against but the defending against that will be the biggest challenge.

The question at the start of most ISL seasons used to be who can score against Antonio Habas' ATK. ISL home | Fixtures | Scores | Table | Stats | Transfers Who can stop Antonio Habas' ATK Mohun Bagan? Spectacular goals, even more spectacular own goals, rain-soaked pitches, tactical battles, yo-yo-ing philosophies. Week one of the ISL has flown by, and there has already been plenty to talk about.
