Chiefs are already out of two cup competitions and currently sit and currently sit 13 points behind DStv Premiership leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
When asked what was the mandate given to him at Chiefs, Johnson told SuperSport, "Play the Chiefs way and the results will come.
"There's no expectations, it's just for us to prepare the team, I think we've got a very good team, I think we have a team that can compete.
"But it's a team, like most teams, when you go through a bad patch you've got to mentally come out of that and that's what we're now at the moment."
Chiefs' 2-1 loss to Arrows' was the team's third in a row, but Johnson felt they had enough chances to get maximum points.
"I think I've got to give a lot of credit to the boys, I thought they played well under the conditions that we come out of, the conditions of the pitch, which I think were a little bit, not bumpy but soggy in some places," Johnson said.
"But you can't blame that, both teams were on there. The game, I thought we had a lot of clear one-on-ones in the first-half, I thought we should've scored some of them, we scored one after going behind.
"That means we were actually chasing the game but then again in the second-half we lost the ball, I think cheaply in their half, they had a counter-attack and they scored and they defended for their lives," he said.
"But I've seen a better Chiefs than I've seen (today), so I think we're gonna work on it and hopefully we'll get it better. But the fluidity, the passing, the holding going forward is much better and we'll see what happens in the next game," he said.
