Fans were convinced that after this game, the fault lies with the team and not with the coach.

Kaizer Chiefs lose to Golden Arrows

Kaizer Chief faced Abafana Bes’thende over the weekend, and the boys’ performance seemed lacking. Arrows won the game 2-1, and when Johnson reflected on the defeat, he admitted that this was not how he had hoped to start his tenure after being appointed Chief’s interim coach. According to Sowetan LIVE, he added that no coach wants a terrible start but was hopeful that the team would pick up as he continues to work with them.

He also believed that if the team plays the type of football the nation wants to see, it could be restored to its former glory.

Other fans blamed goalkeeper Brandon Peterson and midfielder Mduduzi Shabalala for the team’s poor performance.

Motho Ke Motho Mahlomolapelo said:

“He must stop using the likes of Mdu Shabalala and Peterson. They will cost him his job because they don’t take their football career seriously. He must ask the previous coaches.”

Tshepo Mac-d Gaodigwe added:

“It seems like Peterson is the main problem, but we’re shifting blame.”
