Stellenbosch FC head coach Steve Barker says they hope to finish with 11 players on the field against Chiefs one day.
Stellies suffered a 2-0 loss at home to the Glamour Boys, with Devon Titus receiving his marching orders in the second-half, making it the third game in a row that Barker's outfit have finished the game with ten men against Chiefs.
Barker felt that Titus' yellow was a bit harsh, but insists they were still the better team on the night against Molefi Ntseki's troops.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "'Hopefully One Day We Can Finish With 11 Players Against Chiefs'" story:
"Steve B, just teach your players not to commit unnecessary fouls. Chiefs are not giving themselves these red cards, it's referees decisions baba!" says millionsoth.
"Some coaches and supporters just don't wanna see the game for what it is. I mean what should the referee do when a dangerous tackle is made. Players' careers end due to such tackles. They then talk brown envelopes when it comes to Chiefs, but never say anything when their teams benefit from dubious goals that didn't cross the line and offsides.
"Rivalries turn to make us blind sometimes. We turn to look away when it's our team benefiting from such calls," says wanthatamusic.
"Chiefs don't have to worry about the Sundowns MTN8 game. Sundowns have a bad record in this competition. I foresee Chiefs facing Pirates in the final and Pirates retaining their title," says oupa.phiri27.
"Steve Barker must check the red card on his player because any referee would have red-carded Titus for his dangerous tackles," says matemane.
"Slowly but surely, we keep going forward and this game gave Chiefs a much-needed booster for the upcoming game against Sundowns. I'm not over thinking this upcoming game because these midgets are a handful and must be treated with a lot of respect as they've won the league six times consecutively without fail, so for this present bunch of Chiefs players it's going to be quite a challenge.
"What do they say again? the bigger they are, the harder they will fall. So, for Chiefs it's going to be tough, but it can be done. Deep down in my gut, I feel like they're ready to be taken out!!" says userThautha.
"We won but definitely not enjoying the type of soccer that is being played, we don't understand it. We are even scared to watch. We could have been easy punished by Stellies. I do not see any improvement in the team's play, this means for me, the change of coaches has not improved anything, unless if it is too early to judge.
"A way of playing football has changed, unfortunately Chiefs still think you can just kick the ball forward and the strikers will score. We give away possession too easily because we don't make better moves, we rush, afraid to make mistakes. Oh, our beloved Chiefs and ANC," replies hlaps.
"A very good and fair analysis. Coming from a Chiefs supporter is very refreshing. Big up to you," responds msanisto.
"Very true, we're winning because of individual brilliance to be honest, our style of play is not clear," says juicecpeter.
"You can coach. Just tell your players not to be over excited when playing against Chiefs," says generalmj.
Read: Ntseki Responds To Broos On Chiefs Players
Molefi Ntseki responded to Hugo Broos' claims that none of the Kaizer Chiefs players deserve to be selected in the national team at the moment.
Broos selected his final 23-man squad to face DR Congo and Namibia at the Orlando Stadium next week, with the Belgian snubbing Amakhosi players for the friendlies.
Ntseki, who's an ex-Bafana coach, says they can't question Broos' selections because they don't know what he's looking for in a player.
Speaking after his side's 2-0 win over Stellies, Ntseki is adamant that his players are hard at work to show everyone and themselves that they possess quality in their ranks.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Ntseki Responds To Broos On Chiefs Players" story:
"Broos once said Pule Mmodi is not Bafana material but now that he's a Chiefs player, Chiefs supporters are expecting the old man to change his tune," says Shikabala.
"He does not learn. He once said bad things about Themba Zwane after not selecting him. He was too old for him but today, he is the one who is helping him. As a Khosi fan and a footballer lover, I am not bothered by what he is saying. I wish him all the best," says jonasmxolisi.
"Mr. Broos though, does he have to say such things?" says abelmotaung50.
"The Chiefs players are good for sure, but our coach needs to help them. They must stop running so much and pass the ball properly. Last night they were so poor that even a team with ten men played better than them.
"Ntseki must do his job and help these players. The running with the ball is not helping, running without the ball is more effective. I am not concerned about the national selections right now but let us get our team to play like a big team, share the ball well!" says khothakhosi.
"He should have just kept quiet because it is impossible for all players not to match his standard requirements however bad the club may perform," says matemane.
"The same coach once said, 'South African players don't have what it takes to compete with the big guns'... there was noise all over the country bemoaning his comments, now that he's solely targeting Chiefs, suddenly he's a 'Man of Honour'" says ghettovillage411.
"We know Chiefs is a big team and expectations are always high. Even us as fans we still feel there's still a room for improvement.
"With that said, it's unprofessional for the coach to target Chiefs individual players for overall performance of the club, but it's his decision and he's entitled to it. Good Luck Mr. Broos with the mandate at hand," adds ghettovillage411.
"If I was a Chiefs fan, I don't think I would worry much about the unavailability of the Chiefs players in the national team since the same national team is not winning anything except friendly matches," says Fair Comment.
"No Kaizer Chiefs players deserve to be in the national team," says Saavedra.
"Who expects any of Chiefs' players to be in the national team with the way they play?"
"Against 10-men Stellenbosch, what did they do? NOTHING! At some stage of the game all of them were in the 18-yard area defending corner kicks by Stellenbosch. Stellenbosch with 10-men were playing far much better than them in possession of the ball and attacking.
It is either the players are lazy, or the coach does not know what to do during practice sessions. Against Sundowns, they will have to change their attitude, otherwise, it will be a disaster," says peter95157.
