adminJOHANNESBURG. — Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter is concerned that his men are posing less of a threat from set-pieces of late.
The Premiership champions have struggled to impose themselves this campaign, most recently bowing out of the Telkom Knockout semi-finals at the hands of Platinum Stars at the weekend.
Nevertheless, Amakhosi only trail League leaders Mamelodi Sundowns by five points, and Baxter maintains his team just need to make better use of their chances.
“At the moment there appears a little margin from what we were doing last season,” Baxter told his club’s official website.
“In the main, what we are doing is the extension of last season. We need to adjust and maximise on the opportunities we have been creating.
Last season one of our strengths was on set-plays, but now in the last two games we battled in that area.
“We must get our effectiveness and efficiency back.”
Chiefs host promoted Polokwane City tomorrow, who are in good spirits following a 3-0 victory over University of Pretoria.
Baxter added: “Polokwane City will be coming to us at the back of a good win but they will be thinking that they have a challenge against us because we want to respond from a disappointing cup exit.” — KickOff
