Facing a disappointing season marked by 10 defeats in 23 matches, Kaizer Chiefs have been given a potential roadmap to recovery by Nasreddine Nabi.
Following their recent 2-1 upset against Golden Arrows, Nabi highlighted two crucial areas the Soweto giants must address to salvage their underwhelming campaign.
Despite outshooting Golden Arrows with four shots on target to their opponent's two, Chiefs once again struggled to convert their chances, mirroring their loss to Richards Bay.
Missed opportunities plagued the team with some players failing to score from close range.
Speaking to the media post-match, Nabi stood by his players and urged for patience.
NABI – CHIEFS NEED PATIENCE AND PLAYERS WITH MORE ENGINE
“It's a problem for the team, I think we need patience with the players. We need patience, not panic,” Nabi explained.
“If you understand football, there are some negative points, but I think the team is complete in some points and these negative points are only in the last decision. Solomons is not a winger and he is not a striker, he is a right-back. The problem is not Solomons.
“If you look at the game against Arre game we lost against Richards Bay, it's the same profile. This is the problem.
“I take responsibility, I don't give the responsibility away, but to change the situation we need two things. The first is patience. We need patience. Secondly, we need more players with the engine.
“In that way, if a player is substituted after 60 or 65 minutes, we have possibly to change position for the position, for example.
“I would be worried if the team played badly in all these games, if we don't play good football. But that is not the situation for Kaizer Chiefs, because Kaizer Chiefs complicate the game for themselves because we lose the opportunities to score.”
