Kerala Blasters assistant coach Ishfaq Ahmed - TP Rehenesh has been playing football for 10 years now

Kerala Blasters assistant coach Ishfaq Ahmed was critical of his team's defensive errors after a chastening 6-3 defeat to South Indian rivals Chennaiyin FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Kochi on Saturday.

The Blasters were guilty of gifting far too many goals to their opposition as even a hat-trick from Bartholomew Ogbeche could not save them from a chastening defeat which virtually ended their play-off hopes.

"There were so many defensive errors. We have to go back and work on those. Some costly errors were there.( When you concede) those kinds of goals with a quality striker upfront, you will pay the price.
