Tinkler: We're Not Going To Change The Way We Play

Tinkler: We're Not Going To Change The Way We Play

Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler sees no reason to change up their style of play after their MTN8 exit at the hands of Kaizer Chiefs.

The Citizens took the lead through Marc van Heerden's header, but were pegged back by goals from Ashley du Preez and Edson Castillo.

"I thought entertaining game for the fans, both teams really end to end, both teams looking to get positive, looking to go forward, create chances and score goals," Tinkler told SuperSport.

"But unfortunately we ended up on the losing end. Chances at the death to try get the equaliser but it didn't happen.

"The formation that we use, the way we play we looked to play on the front foot constantly and sometimes it hurts you. Their goal we get caught ball in behind, purely long balls if you look into it and got caught on a couple of occasions," he said.

Despite getting caught with the ball over the top, Tinkler will stick the way they have been playing.

"But we're not gonna change the way we play, we just gotta make better decisions in defence, to try and avert those goals from happening, we gotta be a lot better in terms of our finishing," he said.

"It's easy after a loss to start thinking you're doing things wrong but I don't, I think we're doing the right things and it's just about improving those small areas, especially in the last third, turning chances into goals and if we can (reduce) individual errors, then obviously we'll win more games than what we'll lose," he added.
