iDiski TV analyst Junior Khanye has given his verdict on Faiz Abrahams’ Kaizer Chiefs debut saying the youngster is a typical Cape Town winger who is cross-oriented.
Abrahams, 21, joined Amakhosi this month on a season-long loan deal from Stellenbosch FC with Chiefs having an option to buy him at the end of the season.

He made his debut for the Glamour Boys from the bench in the come-from-behind 2-2 Betway Premiership draw away at Richards Bay on Wednesday playing in the last 24 minutes of the game.
The result meant Chiefs remained unbeaten in the league this season however dropped to third place on the log with eight points, two from the pack leaders from four outings.
Khanye felt the crosses weren’t effective and that he’s not sure if Abrahams really suits the side’s style of play.
“It’s important when you sign players to look at how the club plays but obviously Kaizer Chiefs’ style of play now, I don’t think it’s something they are concerned with,” said Khanye on iDiski TV.
“Each and every player that’s available they think will suit their style of play. The guy is a typical Cape Town winger whereby he’s more of a crosser. In the second half, Kaizer Chiefs had ball possession they should have scored a lot of goals, but a cross is anybody’s ball. It seems like it was the instruction of the coach when he put him in to play crosses.
“I haven’t watched him a lot at his previous club, but I saw him today and he wanted to cross every ball he received. And who was he crossing to, Duba in the box. They lack a natural number 10, someone who can carry the team. They lack a wing-forward that will cut in and go on to score goals. Sometimes you don’t have to cross.
“You have to take responsibility, and I understand he plays under instructions but sometimes players are the coach on the field. These are professional players, if they say cross and you are not looking who’s in the box and there’s Duba alone against four tall people. It showed that the coach believes in crosses.”
