One clean sheet, 11 goals conceded in Seven matches! Fiacre Ntwari hits back at Kaizer Chiefs fans calling for him to be dropped - 'I'm not the problem' as Rwandan star points at problems in Nasreddine Nabi's side

Rwanda international Fiacre Ntwari was signed by Kaizer Chiefs to strengthen the goalkeeping department.

The 25-year-old was also seen as a long-term replacement for legendary goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune whose contract had expired and Amakhosi refused to extend it.

Since joining Chiefs, Ntwari has played in seven competitive matches across all competitions.

He has kept one clean sheet in the process and conceded 11 goals, stats that the Amakhosi faithful were not anticipating early in the season.

The Soweto Giants were eliminated from the Carling Knockout in the quarter-final stage and have so far lost two and drawn once in their last three PSL fixtures.

However, Ntwari insists he can't be blamed for the club's struggles.

"It’s not about me being the problem. The issue is the team isn’t in a good place right now. We started the season well, but over the last three games, we haven’t performed as expected," he said on The New Times.

"This is a team with a passionate fan base, and the pressure to win every match is always there.

"Sometimes players are at fault, but the only way forward is to keep working hard. We’ll continue giving everything to ensure the team gets back on track," Ntwari concluded.

Ntwari was in action for Rwanda in the almost-ending international break against Libya and Rwanda respectively. The team lost at home against Libya by a solitary goal before winning 2-1 over the Super Eagles.

The goalkeeper did not manage to conclude the Nigeria game after sustaining an injury, and coach Nabi is hopeful he will be fit to help his team against Richards Bay in the PSL on Wednesday at the FNB Stadium.
