Kerala Blasters: Jeakson Singh at centre-back is Kibu Vicuna's attempt at 'damage control'

This time last year, Jeakson Singh was enjoying a very good personal season at Kerala Blasters.

In his first full season at the club, he made 13 appearances and clocked over 800 minutes. He had quite easily become an important player for the then coach Eelco Schattorie in midfield.

Fast forward to February 2021, the midfielder is now playing in an unfamiliar role as a centre-back at the same club in a different lineup and under a different coach who prefers a different system. The team is struggling to register wins and currently has the worst defensive record in the league, having let in 29 goals in 17 matches.
