Kaizer Chiefs coach, Nasreddine Nabi, expressed his frustration after his side's disappointing 2-2 draw against Royal AM.
Amakhosi, who had established a comfortable 2-0 lead, let Thwihli Thwahla claw their way back into the game, eventually snatching a point in the Betway Premiership match at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
This was Chiefs' seventh league game under the Tunisian tactician, yielding a mixed bag of results: three wins, two draws, and two losses.
Nabi was clearly unhappy with his team's performance, believing they had dominated the match but failed to capitalize on their chances, ultimately gifting Royal AM a lifeline.
NABI ON HOW CHIEFS GAVE ROYAL AM LIFELINE
“I think the problem is not tactically, because you control 70% or 80% of the game,” said Nabi.
“Like today, the opponents start again from half-time good, but immediately we change the positives, and we take more control of the game. We take more control of the game.
“The problem is that if you lose too many opportunities, you give confidence to the opponents.
“And this is a repeat. For that, we talk, we talk, but the problem is in the roots. The problem is in the roots, because it's not like you say, it's not [something that started] today or yesterday.
“But what do we need? What do we want?We need more opportunities, maybe more mentally, like in the field. Because in the field, I think we create too many opportunities, we control the game.
“Okay, some mistakes in defence, bad decisions offensively, yes. But you don't have another solution, you continue to take more, more, more.”
