Khama Billiat still the best in PSL? This a question everyone was asking before the game between Kaizer Chiefs and Chippa united. Some people had already lost hope but Khama proved people that he is still a good player. Kaizer Chiefs 4 – 0 Chippa United.
“It is not the way we wanted it to start,” acknowledges Billiat.
“We feel like we are working on things that need to stay with us and the only unfortunate part is that we haven’t been getting the results that we need but I personally feel good that we are able to keep the ball a bit longer. We are able to find each other on the pitch.
“We can move as a team. We just need to step up as strikers to give the team a little bit more, to score goals and make sure that we always put our team in a comfortable situation during the game.
“It is not easy to play while we are a goal down or goalless but if we can score then we give the team confidence to protect what we have. It is a work in progress and we are feeling good. We are soldiers so we will hang on and keep on digging and we will get it right,” says Billiat.
“We are back shifting the focus, and, on the weekend, it is going to be a big fight and we are just going to make sure that we stick to our game plan, and we believe in our game plan. We feel good and I feel good, and I think it is the time for us now to start to get those little things that make the difference in scoring more goals and defending our goal as a team and going forward.
“We just need to be on the top of our game. It is not going to be easy especially playing coach Gavin as he used to be here, and he knows players individually and has the experience.
“It is a great opportunity for us to play him now and put ourselves in a better situation than we are right now and start collecting maximum points. But then we need to work hard for it, and it is not going to be easy. It is going to be tough, and it will need us to want it more and make sure that we do what the coach wants,” says Billiat.
“Psychologically Khama Billiat is no longer the same. He is regretting the decision to join Kaizer Chiefs because all the coaches he has played under at the club do not believe in ball-players,” Khanye told Massiv Metro as per iDiski TV.
“The coaches do not know how to get the best out of the player like Pitso [Mosimane]. Even the position they deploy him in is wrong. He is always playing under tremendous pressure whereby they rely on his individual brilliance.
“There were games I believe he shined under Ernst but there were not many. In order for Khama to shine like during his Sundowns days you need a proper coach who believes in ball players and then be surrounded by people who supply you with balls. Then you must find him a fixed position lest you will confuse him like playing him as a winger, striker etc, you want him to drop from your half.
“Another thing, you can’t rely on him alone. Then you become defensive by fielding seven defenders. The coaches he has played under at Chiefs are Ernst, Stuart and Gavin put eight defenders then you have Khama, Samir Nurkovic and now Keagan Dolly or Manyama.
“Khama playing behind Nurkovic and Manyama yet you can’t rely on Manyama. Obviously, they rely on Khama and Samir Nurkovic is just standing.”
“He has realised that he took the wrong decision to join Chiefs and that this team is not going to win anything, ‘if I don’t score no one will score,’” said Khanye.
“He has realised that in this team I play with ordinary players. No one can compete against him in the Chiefs squad. At Sundowns he knew that if I’m not doing it, Keagan Dolly will do it, the coach will always allow me to run with the ball. Pitso is a believer in the style Khama thrives in, he got the best out of the boy.
“If you check Khama now he is not psychologically fine after realising he joined the wrong team. I think his first season at Chiefs broke him as he realised he is not going to win anything both individually and as a team.”
Do you think Khama is still a good player ?
