Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi has responded to questions over the need for a striker coach at the club and explained where things went haywire in a 0-0 stalemate against Cape Town City.
A wasteful Chiefs side were held to a draw by Cape Town City, thus missing the opportunity of possibly jumping into fourth spot on the table.

Out of their 17 attempts at goal, only three were on target, a number equal to that of the visitors, who had as little as 36% of overall ball possession.
Shocking.
The wayward finishing, which was also an issue last season, has raised questions about the possibility and need for a specialist at the Village.
Speaking to media after the match, Nabi poured cold water over the suggestion.
"To not score today is not an issue about a coach for strikers," said the Tunisian-Belgian, through interpreter and assistant coach Cedric Kaze.
"Probably it's an idea we can discuss, but it's not an issue for today's game. "What was missing was just to put the ball inside the net.
The former Young Africans coach bemoaned the fact that Amakhosi haven't always taken the opportunity to make strides up the table when chances to do so had presented themselves.

He is under no illusion, though, that there is a major problem within the team, and has vowed to address it.
"It's not dramatic, but it's very bad because it's not the first time we have a chance to go back and we lose the points. If you remember from the start of the season, the mistake continued. Same. You have a chance to go up, you lose the chance.
"In the moment, you need evaluation. Why? Because you have a problem. Today, the normal score is 3-0 or 4-0. We don't score. But I take responsibility," he offered.
It's turning into a desperate campaign for the Soweto giants with nine matches remaining.
29 points in 21 games does not make for good reading, with Chiefs up against an equally desperate Richards Bay FC at King Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday. The latter lost 1-0 against Magesi FC on Tuesday.
