‘Kaizer Chiefs dead like Man United! Against Pirates 10 defensive players, I feel sorry!’

Kaizer Chiefs were beaten 1-0 against Red Arrows in the first leg of the second preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup played on Saturday at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.

Alassane Diarra’s header from a corner was all the Zambian outfit needed to extend Amakhosi’s winless run to for across all competitions.

Amakhosi now need to overturn the deficit in Durban on Friday to make the group stage.

Get rid of Da Cruz

A section of the club supporters have compared their team to Manchester United, insisting that Amakhosi are done. Have a look at what they said as sampled by Afrik-Foot.

Ohh I feel sorry for coach Cruz, he should just resign like Nasreddine Nabi did. There’s no one saving this team, honestly, it is dead finished. Kaizer Chiefs are dead just like Manchester United – Yoli

The outcome was already known if you play negative football the players knows one thing that the coach wants us to defend there is no attacking mentality at all – Mushavhi

It’s never late to bring in coach Khumalo Vela to the first team and get rid of that useless coach – Kagiso

Exactly what we deserved with that lineup. If the coach wants to experiment things, Kaizer Chiefs is not the place for that – Andile

I have decided to permanently lower my expectations for every Kaizer Chiefs encounter – Thulani Thomo

Chiefs can’t become bad overnight

Other fans have blamed the management for the team’s struggles, insisting the management has refused to bring in quality players.

The team can’t become this bad overnight! Da Cruz’s negative football is killing us. Chiefs need a proper coach, not shortcuts or assistants. We hired Nabi and won a trophy after 10 years. Fire Da Cruz and get a proven coach – Kayorce

We don’t have a coach; we have the worst coach we have ever had. Even the interpreters were doing a better job than him. In future, get these boys a coach who can communicate with them directly without needing an interpreter – Vhakhoni Major

As a certified Orlando Pirates fan I am happy that Kaizer Chiefs are suffering. Last weekend they were supporting Sundowns and I told them I won’t argue with them because all I have to do is wait. Now it has been nine games with six draws, two losses and a win. I thought Cruz is Jose Mourinho – Nyawuza

Our management doesn’t buy quality players. The coach is defensive minded. Against Pirates I see us playing 10 defensive players – Ntori Gumede

I have seen enough, announce Ernst Middendorp now as a caretaker coach so we have time to prepare for Pirates. With Da Cruz we are going nowhere – Vezzy
