Stuart Baxter Stresses That Kaizer Chiefs That Quality Upfront!

Stuart Baxter Stresses That Kaizer Chiefs That Quality Upfront! Amakhosi settled for a stalemate away to the Cityzens.

Kaizer Chiefs drew 0-0 away to Cape Town City in the DSTV Premiership last night. Head coach Stuart Baxter bemoans the killer instinct his side did not show.

The Scot does however believe that Amakhosi played better than they did in the 1-0 loss at home to TS Galaxy in the Nedbank Cup on Saturday.

“I thought it was an interesting game of football. Both teams tactically were set up,” Baxter told SuperSport TV after the match.

“Probably the lack of quality from both sides meant a draw was going to be the fair result. Because in the last third both teams threatened but didn’t have the composure in the final third.

“I don’t know what Eric was saying. But for us I thought we played through very very well.

“We played better than we did against TS Galaxy but we’re still lacking that cutting edge.

“That final ball now that the pitch was a little bit difficult because it got really wet in the second half because of the dew. It was sharp and difficult to play.

“But if I’m looking at anything tonight, I’m taking the positives from the attitude, the structure, the ability to play through then I’m hoping that our front players are going to be a little bit more composed so we can take a few of those good situations that we got.

“Because we had loads of good opportunities, didn’t we? Even right at the finish, you’re cutting balls back, you’re playing really well to get in there, you’re cutting balls back and it’s getting a little too close or it hit the goalkeeper.

“Some set plays that we hit we said that they’re very strong across their six-yard box. We don’t want to put them in their zonal players but too many found their way into their, making it easier to defend.

“Small things make a big difference, you know, if you look at the quality of some our play it was very good, but we’ve got to finish it. We’ve got to put ourselves in a position where we get ourselves in front.” He confirmed.

Amakhosi rose to third on the table after the draw. Stuart Baxter Stresses That Kaizer Chiefs That Quality Upfront!
