“And we have not done that.”

Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp said his team took it easy in the game against AmaZulu.Ernst Middendorp has said that, as he did not get over-excited about a Soweto derby victory last week, he was not overly concerned by a 1-0 defeat to last-placed AmaZulu by his league-leading Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday.

It was put to Middendorp that as much as he was praised for his tactical decisions in the win against Pirates, such a poor performance against the bottom-placed team raises questions again about the credentials of Chiefs’ attempt to reverse four seasons without a trophy in their 50th anniversary season.

“And then I said it, yes we have seen quite a confusing team today on our side. It’s not unusual. You have this big event [the derby] just past successfully, and I spoke the entire week about trying to get consistency. “The question mark is: how can this happen? Of course it has something to do with the mindset. It’s the same with the teams who have won against Liverpool, Norwich winning against Leicester.

Chiefs could have gone to a 10-point lead over Sundowns with a win against the wooden-spoonists, who had put head coach Jozef Vukusic on special leave during the week and were playing under caretaker Ayanda Dlamini.
