Is the ‘weight’ of the Chiefs jersey too heavy for some? Baxter thinks so!

Kaizer Chiefs dropped two points at home against TS Galaxy on Tuesday night as Amakhosi played out to a disappointing goalless draw at the FNB Stadium.

It was another blow for Chiefs as a win would have seen them leapfrog Royal AM into second place on the log, while it was embarrassingly their second 0-0 draw in the league this season against 14th-placed TS Galaxy, who also knocked Chiefs out of the Nedbank Cup.

Speaking to SuperSport after the game, Baxter said it was difficult to put a finger on the real problem leading to such inconsistent performances from his players.

“We’ll look at the footage and see if we can find tactical reasons. We’ll look at the stats and see if we can see physical reasons.

“But I can’t unfortunately get inside their heads and find out the psychological reasons.

“I suspect that the players are playing with too much anxiety at the moment. When things don’t go their way, they take it hard,” he continued.

“It’s not a question of they don’t care, maybe they care too much and they feel that the shirt weighs a little bit heavy.

“At half time I tried to address that. But it needed a tactical change before we relaxed a bit and started playing the type of football we want to play.”
