A Kaizer Chiefs great says he can no longer discern what ingredient would help Nasreddine Nabi's team cook up results faster with the head coach's first season at Naturena turning into a mini-crisis.
Under Nabi's leadership, Chiefs have been struggling for results for the better part of a season that is fast reaching its business end.

Zebulon 'Sputla' Nhlapo notes that what Nabi is experiencing now is very similar to what led to Arthur Zwane's removal from the Amakhosi head coach position, playing good football without achieving results.
"To be honest, I also don't know what Nabi is trying to cook. It might be oxtail... I don't know," says Nhlapo.
"I have run out of words. The backline is leaking goals, and the strikers are not scoring. I really don't know what's happening.
"Angazi kwakhala nyonini laphaya, my Lord! The defence is always caught facing our goalposts. I don't understand how they defend, they are always late.
"We are continuously losing because of our mistakes. Our midfielders, every time they pass the ball, seem to be passing it to the opponents.
"These are some of the things that need to be fixed. One day we will find the right materials. Let him keep trying. The only problem is that we win some, lose some... we've turned into a yo-yo. I really don't know what's happening to us.

"I haven't lost hope, though. What is happening now is exactly what cost Arthur Zwane his job.
"But let's stick with Nabi. This constant changing of coaches is only taking us backwards. Just like oxtail, which takes time to cook, once it is finally done, it tastes delicious. So, let's be patient with the coach," he adds.
