Kogalo would require a 3-0 win against the well organized Algerian side <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;It&#8217;s not yet over. It can be done, it has been done before in  football,&#8221; Polack told Nation Sport <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polack noted that Kogalo are in rebuilding mode and lacked the experience needed at this level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;We lost to USM Alger not because we were a poor team but due to little  mistakes and loss of concentration. We had 16 players but only one or  two have the experience of playing in continental and competitive  matches. I don\u2019t want to blame any player or management but I take  responsibility for the defeat,&#8221; noted Polack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will require attacking football against a well organized Algerian side who are likely to sit back and absorb the pressure while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cWe have put the defeat behind us. Gor Mahia will no longer play  defensive football but we will be attacking because we need to score  goals. We have nothing to lose since we still harbour hopes of  eliminating USM Alger. It is not time for blame games but fixing one or  two areas,\u201d  continued Polack.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/polack-it-is-not-yet-over\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia coach Steve Polack says his side is not giving up on beating USM Alger.
