Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi was not pleased with how his players performed against Cape Town City on Wednesday.
Amakhosi were held to a 0-0 draw at the FNB Stadium. The Tunisian coach implied that the players were not sacrificing themselves for the team and the supporters.
“I am not being dramatic but it is bad, it is not the first game we have a chance to move up the log standings but drop points. The mistakes we continue to commit have been the same since the start of the season,” Nabi said after Chiefs played to a 0-0 draw.
“At this moment, we need to evaluate to understand what is the problem because tonight [against CT City], normal score 3 to 4-0 win, I say this with big respect to Cape Town City but we had to score. I will take the responsibility, I don’t want to attack my players, I need to protect them. After games, I don’t even question my players even when they miss an opportunity, but it is not possible that you always lose.”

“What was missing was to put the ball in the back of the net, it is that simple. We were unlucky not to get the three points but we had clear chances to score. We did everything but didn’t score,” said Nabi.
Nabi implied that he might speak to the Kaizer Chiefs management regarding the club getting a new striker.
“We feel that not scoring tonight is not an issue about a coach for strikers, probably it is an idea we can discuss [with the management] but it is not an issue for today’s game.”
Amakhosi are still in eighth place after 21 matches played in the Betway Premiership.
Should Chiefs get a new striker?
