Kaizer Chiefs are on a dismal run of four defeats across all competitions. Benni McCarthy has outlined where and how deep the problems are.
Kaizer Chiefs continue to stutter when it matters
The Glamour Boys are on a run of three consecutive league defeats. They’ve also lost four in a row across all competitions, and they’ve only won one of their last six, against. Upcoming tests aren’t exactly getting any easier, either. Benni McCarthy, a man often tenuously linked with the managerial role at the club, believes there’s a disconnect between players and technical staff.
“Everybody should be on the same page of wanting to achieve something,” McCarthy said on SuperSport TV via AfrikFoot.com.
“Management is doing what they need to do. Then the technical team, coaches and support staff have to play their part.
“When I see from outside, there is a little bit of an imbalance between the technical team, coaches and the players because the players don’t play like they play for Kaizer Chiefs, the badge and legends that got the team here,” the Bafana legend added.
“There is no cohesion, not coordinated properly, but I think once the technical team get on the same page, they can because they have damn good players.
“I watched the Richards Bay game, Stellenbosch and the [Soweto] Derby, and those players think they do not belong there, don’t deserve to play for Chiefs and when you believe that, no matter what you do, it will not happen. You have to believe you are good enough. You are at Chiefs for a reason.”
The latest injury news isn’t encouraging for Chiefs fans
Given Msimango, Mfundo Vilakazi, Inácio Miguel, Etiosa Ighodaro and Brandon Petersen are all out of Sunday’s match with Durban City at FNB Stadium at 15:30. Now, according to reports, Nkanyiso Shinga and George Matlou will play no further part this season. To add insult to injury, Aden McCarthy and Sibongiseni Mthethwa are suspended for the upcoming clash with Pitso Dladla’s side. The club has a challenging fixture schedule between now and the end of the campaign.
