Tusker FC head coach Charles Okere has challenged his players to be clinical in front of the goal following their 0-0 draw against Kenya Police FC in a top-of-the-table clash on Sunday.
“We started the game very strongly in the first half, creating a number of chances, but once again, we struggled in front of goal,” Okere said as quoted by Tusker website.
“The issue remains the same: we lacked composure and weren’t able to finish the chances we created. This is an area that we need to focus on if we are to secure victories in such tight, tactical matches.”
He added: “It all comes down to composure. The players now understand their tactical roles and positioning on the field, but without that calmness and poise in front of goal, even the best opportunities will be wasted. We have to be more clinical.”
On keeping a fourth clean sheet from the last six league matches, Okere said: “We’ve really made significant improvements defensively as a team.
“I also want to highlight (Alex) Onchwari, who played only his second game for the club. He showed incredible maturity and authority at the back, bringing a lot of confidence to the defense. This serves as a reminder to all the players that when they get an opportunity, they must seize it with both hands.”
He concluded: “There is no pressure. We’re taking each game as it comes, and we’ll continue working on getting better with every match. We have the quality, and I believe we will get back to winning ways in our next game.”
Tusker, who are sitting joint top with Police, will next face champions Gor Mahia at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on Sunday.
