Kaizer Chiefs star is ‘FRUSTRATED’ admits Stuart Baxter!

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter admitted that his star striker Samir Nurkovic is ‘frustrated’ following a dip in form.

Nurkovic turned out yet another underwhelming performance in Kaizer Chiefs colours during their goalless draw against TS Galaxy on Sunday afternoon.

More disappointing than the result was Baxter’s side’s lack of creativity. The CAF Champions League runner’s-up registered just one shot on target in the entire match.

Baxter has since commented on the form of his star striker Samir Nurkovic who he withdrew early in the second half for Keagan Dolly.

Kaizer Chiefs star is ‘frustrated’ – Baxter

“Samir Nurkovic was frustrated because good players usually are when they’re not performing well. So Samir was trying very hard but he just wasn’t producing what he can usually produce.” – Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter told SuperSport TV.

Our quality was poor

“Going into the first game you know very little because you’ve got very little to go on. They’ve got new players and you don’t know if the coach is going to change.” the Kaizer Chiefs mentor added.

“In principle, they played the way we thought they would play. We just weren’t good enough. Our quality was too poor, especially on the breakdown.

“To get longer attacks and pick our way through a man-to-man inspired type of defence, when Kaizer Chiefs did I thought we looked okay, but we didn’t do it enough and the decision-making on the pitch wasn’t good enough tonight.”

Kaizer Chiefs next turn their attention to Baroka FC who they host on Wednesday evening at 17:00. This website will be providing you with live coverage from the FNB Stadium.
