KAIZER CHIEFS MIDFIELDERS LETTING DOWN WANDILE DUBA

According to Rapatsa, Duba could be a higher-level centre forward, but he just doesn’t have quality midfielders behind him. “Duba for me is a quality striker. Remember what makes a quality striker is quality midfielders and quality supply. But he is being failed by his own midfielders,” Rapatsa told FARPost.

“For a striker to score a goal, he needs to get passes. Even if you can be skilful, you can’t always turn and score because he is always closely marked by players. They need to work for him. Individually, for me, he has all that it takes to be a good striker.

“We have so many attacking players in the team. Duba sometimes has to go solo to score goals like he did against Sundowns after he intercepted a pass from [Lucas] Suarez. Was that a creative goal? No,” continued Rapatsa.

The former Kaizer Chiefs attacker concluded by saying: “When you look at the entire game, there was also no creativity. He was not given forward passes that allowed him to be one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Why don’t we always get passes coming from the middle that allow our fast wing players like Duba to go one-on-one with the goalkeeper?”
