'This is unacceptable, Kaizer Motaung Junior; We won't play in MTN8 in two successive seasons! Nasreddine Nabi does not deserve to coach Kaizer Chiefs, but don't sack him because even if Amakhosi get Jose Mourinho, they will not change' - Fans

Amakhosi were left disappointed after failing to utilise a last chance to try and grab points that would have ensured them a better place on the log.

Kaizer Chiefs will not be participating in the MTN8 contest next season after failing to achieve their top-eight dream in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).

Their fate was sealed after a goalless draw against Polokwane City at the FNB Stadium on Saturday. They needed a win to secure that ticket but were frustrated by Rise and Shine, who themselves qualified for MTN8.

The result means that Nasreddine Nabi will be particularly under pressure, given that the season ended with their winless run stretching to nine games.

After the FNB Stadium game, GOAL takes a look at how fans reacted.

    Disappointed

    We have no business drawing against Polokwane City. I am disappointed with the players we have; they just lack a sense of urgency even when we need maximum points -Mokhale M Moseamedi

    Nabi should leave

    Nabi doesn’t deserve to continue coaching Kaizer Chiefs. While the players have underperformed, his coaching has been just as disappointing - iTOUCHCANDI

    Missing winning mentality

    They come back next season, salaries guaranteed. No sense of fight. Winning mentality non-existent - Genius Loves Company

    Unacceptable

    This is unacceptable for a club of our stature. Kaizer Chiefs is a giant in South African football, and we deserve better than this mediocrity. We are tired of excuses. - Modisana Roboro

    Retain Nabi

    Don’t fire Coach Nabi; buy him all the players he wants, then make that old-school jersey 5k. I don’t care; people will buy as long as we have Fei Toto ...Mayele... Mbule and that younger goalkeeper - Shuffle Maledimo

    Buy players

    We need to buy players. We can't force a coach and not buy players; even if we can get Mourinho, we will not challenge for the league with these players. Now the ball is in the management court. We as fans played our part to support the team; it's now their time to play their part - Jabzin

    Sabotage?

    May I ask a question @kaizerm_jr? Why were the players not showing any signs of wanting to win? I feel like they were sabotaging the question. This is by far unacceptable; it can’t be that two seasons we won’t play top 8. This is sad for us. Please do not renew the expired contract - Manic

    Quality lacking

    Thank you, Nabi, for ending the drought. For the first time since the departure of Middendorp, the team created many goal-scoring chances. We just lacked quality. Whether Nabi continues or not. The issue of quality in playing personnel remains a must-address! - Bongani Dlamini

    Bring McCarthy

    If you are to do a performance review for the season, the technical team has dismally failed. Magesi also won a trophy, but they released the coach because the log standing is far more important. Bring McCarthy in - Mogale

    Buy 11 players

    We really don't need these kinds of players each game. We must be told about the pressure; this is unacceptable. We need new players. 11 new players in total - Nwali
