Embattled Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has admitted that 'Amakhosi' are officially out of the 2006/07 Castle Premiership title raceThis follows Chiefs' shock 0-1 defeat by Golden Arrows at Oppenheimer Stadium in Orkney on Saturday. The loss was 'Amakhosi's second defeat in a row after losing 2-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns last week. "Let's face facts. We are in no position to challenge for league honours," Middendorp told the Daily Sun.
The German mentor added: "Even if we win the nine remaining league games it will not help us. I hope the boys regain their confidence and turn things around. These are trying times and we need to start winning games."
Middendorp agreed that his charges produced their worst performance ever on Saturday.
He said Zambian international striker Rotson Kilambe and Kaizer Motaung Jnr were unable to convert the numerous chances created by Siyabonga Nkosi.
"I told the players before the match that they could beat Arrows. But I could sense from their looks that their spirit was down. I was hoping that Simphiwe Tshabalala would come and save us but he joined us injured. Shaun Bartlett is also injured. What can I do with these injuries?
