This is not working for us and I insist they play according to my instructions,\u201d the disappointed former Brazilian international told <em>Ramogi FM.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Some analysts have attributed Gor Mahia&#8217;s woes to the absence of Khalid Aucho, with neither Amos Nondi nor Wendo nor Kahata able to fill his shoes. However Ze Maria has played down Aucho&#8217;s absence and vows that the team will be ready for the next match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmos Nondi and Francis Kahata are equally good midfielders and the absence of Aucho is rarely felt in the club.\u00a0 I just need to fine tune\u00a0some areas especially in midfield and things will be well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Skipper Jerim Onyango for his part has urged fans to be patient since other top sides are also dropping points<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are fans not talking about losses by other clubs? This is a game of football where results will always vary. You can win, draw or loss, but the game will retain its name. We are a big club , yes but at times we need to accept results since all teams are fighting to win against big teams,\u201d said Jerry Jagoal to Ramogi FM.<\/p>\n<p>With Harun Shakava missing, Gor Mahia&#8217;s lack of depth in central defence was ruthlessly exposed with Luke Ochieng having a torrid time trying to mark Lamine Diallo in the first half. Were it not for a string of saves by Boniface Oluoch, Ushuru would have scored.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half however, Ushuru resorted to time wasting and negative football as they seemed content with a draw. Coach Tom Ogweno faulted Ushuru for their negative display.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is very unfortunate that we still have teams that employ such tactics. Football is a game to enjoy not for players to lie on the pitch feigning injuries,\u201d \u201cSuch antics are a disgrace to Kenyan football. Anyway, we just have to accept the result and focus on our next match.\u201d Ogweno told the Standard.<\/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\/ze-maria-wants-players-to-display-patience\/\"\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&#8217;s Brazilian tactician Ze Maria has faulted his players for not playing to instructions in the last two matches<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8692"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8692\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8694,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8692\/revisions\/8694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
