Kaizer Chiefs simply have to support Khama Billiat and try to nurse him back to his best‚ coach Ernst Middendorp has said of a player nowhere close to his best performance for the Absa Premiership leaders.
At his best Billiat is perhaps the best and most influential attacker in the Premiership. His one-goal return in 2019-20 – as opposed to 12‚ 8‚ 8 and 5 in his past four seasons – is as clear an indicator as the obviously flat performances from the Zimbabwean that he is far off his best.
“We know it’s not a great season from Khama. But everyone knows he has huge potential‚” Middendorp – who at one stage this season‚ concerned at the player’s lack of rest due to the Afcon‚ had Billiat rested for two months – said after the defeat.Billiat‚ who still has one of the best first touches in the PSL‚ was particularly disappointing in front of goal‚ managing only week or off-target shots from some good positions.
“Everything individually in the final box [was done with] everything too much rushing‚” Middendorp said.
