Nasreddine Nabi has revealed what he believes is 'the most worrying' factor currently at Kaizer Chiefs following a damaging 2-1 loss to Marumo Gallants.
Chiefs lost to a determined Gallants outfit at FNB Stadium on Saturday, sending the fanbase into panic mode ahead of two crucial back-to-back Soweto Derby matches.

Glody Lilepo opened the scoring in the 10th minute, but the visitors came back via Matome Mathiane and Daniel Msendami to seal a key win and condemn Nabi's men to more misery.
The defeat means Amakhosi are now outside the Top Eight bracket on the log and casts further doubt over their Top Eight ambitions with just three games left.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Nabi revealed that there is something more concerning beyond the poor results at Naturena.
"It’s unfortunate that the situation is very bad. We have to accept it and there’s no excuse for that, but the most worrying thing for me is not the results. We have lost our way of playing, and that’s even more concerning," admitted Nabi.

"To convince the fans about the process is not going to depend on one or two games. The process [of rebuilding the team] is not necessarily defined by results, and I believe it is still on the right track."
The Glamour Boys, placed ninth, are four points behind fifth-placed TS Galaxy and eight points adrift of Sekhukhune United, who are positioned fourth.
