“In the first half there were no shots on target in a huge game like that and there is no direction.” the Kaizer Chiefs legend said as quoted by TimesLive.
“It is like you are watching 10-year-olds who converge where the ball is. That is what we were watching on Saturday.
“Fans pay money to watch this grinding, coaches must account but these boys must be told. They must have a hard look at themselves in the mirror because there is a lot that you must do.
“I don’t want to compare the derby to the one during our times or even before our times, I am talking about what I saw on Saturday and it was very disappointing.

“I am talking to the players here and the coaches: what you showed us on Saturday was imihlola.”
