Kaizer Chiefs can only beat AmaZulu by ‘praying to the Almighty’ - Soweto giants' real problem has been identified

The team under interim coach Cavin Johnson are currently battling to maintain their position in the PSL top eight, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/psl/table/yv73ms6v1995b5wny16jcfi3" target="_blank">occupying eighth spot</a> with 34 points from 27 matches.&nbsp;Their struggles this season has led to ex-club midfielder Humphrey Mlwane doubting whether the technical team can prevent the team from slipping out of the top half of the table, especially considering Chiefs' struggles this season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

“I’m sorry to say this, but it’s going to be difficult for Kaizer Chiefs,” Mlwane told <a href="https://www.snl24.com/kickoff/sanews/premiership/kaizer-chiefs/im-sorry-to-say-this-usuthu-to-feast-on-limping-chiefs-20240510" target="_blank">KickOff</a>.&nbsp;“The technical staff don’t think outside of the box, they are too predictable. I predict a very difficult game for them. At the moment, only prayer can save our Top Eight spot.“I pray to the Almighty to help them collect some points because, in AmaZulu, they are playing against a team that is running away from danger. They can only overcome AmaZulu if they think from outside the box and do all the right things. The Kaizer Chiefs and AmaZulu FC technical staffs, it’s difficult to even tell which one is the strongest,” he continued. “I was very disappointed with their approach in the (Mamelodi) Sundowns game. How can you replace (Christian) Saile with (Sibongiseni) Mthethwa? Where was the logic in that? I don’t know what they were defending because the score was already 2-0 in favour of Sundowns.&nbsp;“We all want to see a local coach succeed, but his decision-making leaves a lot to be desired. There’s no cohesion in this Chiefs team, we don’t keep the ball at our feet long enough and we never put the opposition team under attack for even five minutes,” he concluded.&nbsp;

WHAT MLWANE SAID?

Amakhosi had the chance to claim all three points in their recent league encounter against TS Galaxy on Tuesday, May 7th.&nbsp;However, they surrendered their lead and ended up settling for a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/ten-man-kaizer-chiefs-slip-up-against-determined-ts-galaxy-in-psl-action/blt587a40bdf9fdab36" target="_blank">2-2 draw with the Rockets</a>, dropping two crucial points in their pursuit of getting a win under their belt.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

In their pursuit of victory in the remaining three league fixtures of the season, the Glamour Boys will kick off the final phase of their campaign against AmaZulu, playing away at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Sunday, May 12th.&nbsp;Following this, they will confront Polokwane City on Sunday, May 18th, before concluding the season against relegation-bound Cape Town Spurs on May 25th.
