Stuart Baxter Bemoans Kaizer Chiefs Performance in League Opener!

Stuart Baxter Bemoans Kaizer Chiefs Performance in League Opener! The Phefeni Glamour Boys drew 0-0 against The Rockets yesterday.

Stuart Baxter stresses that Kaizer Chiefs were not good enough in their DSTV Premiership opening game. This is as they drew 0-0 away to TS Galaxy.

This opening league fixture pitted last season’s 8^th and 9^th placed teams against each other. They also played each other on the very last day, where Chiefs won to finish in the top 8.

Owen Da Gama and TS Galaxy were keen to seek vengeance in the match. It was a frustrating game for both teams as they cancelled each other out.

“Going into the first game you know very little because you’ve got very little to go on,” Baxter told SuperSport TV after the game.

“They’ve got new players and you don’t know if the coach is going to change. In principle, they played the way we thought they would play.

“We just weren’t good enough. Our quality was too poor, especially on the breakdown.

“To get longer attacks and pick our way through a man-to-man inspired type of defence, when we did, I thought we looked okay, but we didn’t do it enough and the decision-making on the pitch wasn’t good enough tonight.

“Samir was frustrated because good players usually are when they’re not performing well. So, Samir was trying very hard, but he just wasn’t producing what he can produce.

“So, Keagan’s fitness allows him to play half an hour, forty minutes, a half. So, we looked for the mobility and when he first came on, I got what I wanted but because the decision making drifted in and out, we didn’t get it enough.” He added.
