Gavin Hunt Gave His Honest Assessment Of Khama Billiat's Form This Season

Gavin Hunt Gave His Honest Assessment Of Khama Billiat's Form This Season

Kaizer Chiefs head coach, Gavin Hunt has given his honest thoughts on Khama Billiat's form this season and how it is taking him some time to find the back of the net.

The Zimbabwean international realised his old goalscoring form a bit late last season when he scored two goals in Amakhosi's last two league encounters under Ernst Middendorp's mentorship at the time.

But this season the 30-year-old is yet to pick up where he left off, though Hunt remains confident in Billiat's abilities despite him already failed to bury a few good chances, especially in last night's encounter against Chippa United.

"He is a little bit frustrated, any striker would be frustrated, he hasn't scored much in the last couple of games, so he has to simplify the game a little bit more," Hunt told the media after the game.

"Even in the second half, he tried to get too clever. But to be fair, in three games he's had a good couple of chances. But as long as he keeps working hard, keeps running off the ball, defending and doing the right things then he will keep playing. I think it's just to break the ice with him; break the ice and he could give a couple. I think tonight was a chance, he hit the post and the second half one was the one he had to score. But he is doing well, working hard.

"Team first, him second and then we are okay. That is the most important thing. Can't think of himself. I mean on Saturday he tried to shoot from corner flags and I told him it is not acceptable. So he'll get better."
