A potential striker crisis could be looming for Kaizer Chiefs ahead of this weekend's home clash against AmaZulu.
Ntseki was without the in-form Ashley Du Preez (Flu) in their 1-0 loss to TS Galaxy, with new signing Ranga Chivaviro suffering what could be a hamstring injury during Sunday's defeat.
Christian Saile Basomboli was used as a striker in place of Chivaviro but the Congolese has proven to be more effective out wide.
Du Preez's illness and Chivaviro's injury leaves youngster Wandile Duba as the only recognised striker in the squad at the moment and the winless Glamour Boys will hope and pray for the return of Du Preez before they take on Usuthu this Saturday.
New Colombian striker Effmamjasond Gonzalez is only expected to land in South Africa later this week, ruling him out of a potential debut this weekend.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Striker Crisis Looming For Kaizer Chiefs?" story:
"The players come from the other teams doing well but when they play for Chiefs, things change. Our players seem to be unfit as they can't play the whole 90 minutes with the same speed and strength.
"Our trainer is a body builder and I wonder if he is not employing the bodybuilding tactics with our players. We need someone who can do aerobics very well for the full function of the body," says Ngudla-mahlathi.
"That's where the problem starts, especially with media. The guy is still in Colombia and has never trained with the team but is expected to start the game against AmaZulu, a big shame on Village FC," says pgyakeni.
"Media is the 12th man for this struggling team. They try by all means to say good things and cover their incompetence. Unfortunately, this system hasn't bared fruits so far. The struggle to win trophies continues," says oupa.phiri27.
"Media, let me remind you 'Ntseki to be the next Pitso' after a fluke win. Now you helping with excuses that the next Pitso must not be stoned because his strikers are not well," says Vha Musanda Cosmos na Bucs.
"In another article, Kaizer Chiefs is leading in the striking department. Why are you contradicting yourself. Chiefs has what what Gonzales still to start, the best striker to ever don the gold shirt," says Fela.
"Iwisa Kaizer Chiefs crisis. The media is trying to shift the goal post, now the excuse will be that they don't have strikers," says Shikabala.
"Not just the strikers, but the whole team and management are in crisis," says peter95157.
"There's crisis at Chiefs and the only problem there is the coach. Let's stop saying strikers or management are in crisis it's only the coaches that are not doing their jobs. Firstly, Ntseki is too soft and indecisive as a coach for a brand like Chiefs.
"He begs players to play and they don't respect him. What is he's doing fielding the leaking goalkeeper and allowing Mdantsane to do what he did twice over the weekend with impunity and Maart is lost in the middle, while Hlanti keeps makes mistakes yet Happy and Njabulo are available," replies userThautha.
Read: Sundowns Turn To Mayo After Missing Out On Tau?
Mamelodi Sundowns have given the impression that they would like to bring in one more striker before the close of the transfer window.
Siya sources have indicated that Masandawana might have reignited interest in last season's joint top goal scorer, Khanyisa Mayo.
They were linked with the Bafana Bafana forward at the end of last season before he penned a contract extension with Cape Town City.
Mayo may be seen as the ideal option to replace the injured Abubeker Nasir, after seemingly walking away from attempting to re-sign Percy Tau for Al Ahly.
The 24-year-old's R36 million price tag could prove to be a stumbling block for Sundowns, who will hope to come to a compromise with the Mother City-based outfit.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Sundowns Turn To Mayo After Missing Out On Tau?" story:
"Guys.. unlike these small teams, Downs are participating in six different competitions, let them beef up their squad as much as they can or deemed it necessary for them to go a long way in those competitions, none of your teams has been banned in signing and beefing up their squad.
"The fact that your teams are run like spaza shops, that's not Motsepe's problem, it's your team's management and your problem, as long as they run the team as a farm, you will will be upset. Until they realise that these are football teams, not spaza shops, then you will start winning," says Mabaleng1.
"How many of those competitions are you winning? Every season you play the Champions League, when last did you win that? For the past six seasons, you've been adding numbers to the CL," says Mgavest.
"Please Masandawana, we all know that you can buy any player you want with Mr Motsepe's money, but for the sake of Bafana Bafana please stop what you're doing," says msiphos.
"Chiefs fans have anger issues," replies Mshefan wa Mo Downs.
"How are we supposed to play 6 competitions with such injuries? Nasir has not recovered, Jali nearly broke Mokwena's leg, Shalulile hamstring etc. So why should we bother about Bafana, when we have our own fish to fry?" says His Majesty Yellow PSL Beast.
"Sundowns please let Mayo play for CT City, siyanicela please, we need him for Bafana Bafana please guys.
"We all know that Sundowns doesn't really need Mayo as they have more players in that position, please Downs, do it for the country," says BrutuswamaJuju.
"Why don't you ask your team to sign Mayo if it is so important to make players for Bafana, or maybe tell us how many players that are playing for National team are in your team?
"Let me remind you, there was a time last year when 60% of national team players were made up of Sundowns players and people complained about that. Broos was even calling our players old and average," replies Cutter.
"They have been buying success with Motsepe's money for the past six years, they must stop what they are doing because they are busy weakening other teams," says msiphos.
"Why don't you beat those weak teams... Sundowns are making things easy for you," replies ronniebothma.
"The R36m was meant to scare Chiefs. No player in the PSL is worth that," says oupa.phiri27.
