It’s understandable that KaizerChiefs’ supporters are upset after squandering a 13-point lead in the title race, but they should remember where the club was before Ernst Middenorp took over. | IOLsport
CAPE TOWN – Just how on Earth did Kaizer Chiefs drop the ball and lose the Absa Premiership title having been 13 points ahead of eventual champions Mamelodi Sundowns?
Now, a lot of Chiefs’ fans have been calling for the Motaungs to drop the axe and fire the coach. On the surface, sure, that appears to make sense. Chiefs squandered a 13-point lead and ended up losing the title by two points. That’s inexcusable. But, on the other hand, Middendorp turned a bunch of overpaid superstars who finished ninth in the previous season, into a cohesive unit.
The plan is simple, move the ball forward, get it into the box and Samir Nurkovic will bang in the goals. That system was best displayed when Chiefs hammered Stellenbosch 4-0 in Cape Town towards the back end of last year.
