Comments
Kaizer Chiefs head coach shared his thoughts after his side suffered yet another pre-season defeat, this time to Botswana outfit Township Rollers.
Ntseki says that they're on the right track ahead of the new season but wasn't pleased with the goal they conceded to ex-Orlando Pirates winger Thabo Rakhale.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Ntseki: I Wasn't Happy With The Goal" story:
"The coach was employed by Chiefs, and he was watching all the games, first and second round. Obviously, he saw the mistake which were causing Chiefs to lose games. There are still defenders who are afraid of the ball resulting in easy goals conceded.
"Chiefs is known for coming up with good goalkeepers. The present keepers are not coping. So, their problems are at the back, in the middle and in front. At the back, the keeper and defenders are poor. In the middle, there is no playmaker.
"In front, the strikers are blunt. The coach saw these factors. He must use the new recruits, which Zwane did not have," says Soccer Fanatic.
"I think Chiefs does not have the right goalkeeper coach. In both matches, the keepers came off their line whilst there were defenders who were challenging the opponents.
"I think moving from their lines was premature," says The godfather.
"Don't worry, you only have to make top 8. That's Chiefs' mandate," says Crronaldomphoza.
"You should be more worried about your team failing to score a single goal in such high-profile pre-season matches than being worried about conceding that solitary goal. Had you outscored your opponents, you would have won," says Shandu ka Ndaba.
"Something about this Kappa is so NSL, reminds me of the old Orlando Stadium, mxm," says Charles Manyike.
"I thought only their defensive middle fielder from Venezuela was decent," says Msanisto
"Only time will tell for Ntseki," says Makhause(2).
"Ntseki must go," says Tmagoleng12.

Sundowns finished their four-match pre-season tour of the Netherlands unbeaten after a win over Dutch Eerste Divisie outfit Nac Breda.
Downs' other two wins came against Dutch Eredivisie sides, Sparta Rotterdam and Go Ahead Eagles with 4-1 and 1-0 wins respectively for Rulani Mokwena's men.
Masandawana drew their first game on tour against Belgium's KAA Gent after squandering an early 2-0 lead.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "How Sundowns Ended Netherlands Tour Unbeaten" story:
"Next week, the truth will set somebody free. The season is starting," says Winterv.me.
"Warm-ups are done and dusted, now it's up to the real deal. Hope Sundowns will start quickly like last season," says Makhause(2).
"The Sundowns culture is to scores goals after goals. Hence, it's up to the opposition teams to score goals against them. Playing defensively, they might try, but they gonna always fail.
"Pitso's tried it to his downfall. This thing of playing defensively is meant for Naturena or elsewhere. Wydad scored goals against them in whichever way and advanced to the finals. But Sundowns remains as Sundowns. Win or lose, they play their culture football, which they enjoy," says Wintervme.
"Pitso's downfall? Kindly explain because he was successful at Downs. He moved to Al Ahly because of a new opportunity. I guess you are one of those who gave him problems," says Vha Musanda Cosmos na Bucs.
"Please coach, work on our defence. Congratulations on your pre-season," says Zambroty.
"Hayi, I'm afraid of this team and to be honest with you. I have always said, Sundowns has a very strong team which can compete with any side, I mean any.
"Look at what they have just done in Europe, watch it Baba, Europeans always undermine our product but to be honest, the only difference is mentality," says Mthunzijack7.
