Coach
Johan Neeskens must rest certain players to be certain, Wayne Sandilands; it’s either he leaves his line early or sometimes
late and goes for balls that are clearly far from him such are the balls that
are clearly to be contested by the defence.
He
must be given rest to reflect on his performance. 98% of conceded goals are due
to his miscalculation. To tell the honest fact Esrom Nyandoro played better
than those who took over in his unusual role in the first game and lastly
signing of players that contributed to their team’s relegation to me is still a
mystery. The team lacked aggression and sense of urgency in the final third.
At
one stage I think that the team has no idea that their opponents are also
likely counter at any given time, they take time to regroup and defend. They
use the same slow pace they use to attack even in defending.
The
opponents usually use two or three passes they are already in our goal area, threatening
to score. Our team must learn to reach the opponents goal area within short
space of time.
Their
play it becomes predictable everyday and gives opponents to regroup. The
build-ups must be quicker and aggressive as they approach the opponent’s area.
