Since the second leg started, Gor Mahia have won two and drawn five. And the two wins were unimpressive. The midfield appears dysfunctional and the pair of Kagere and Tuyisenge have yet to form an effective partnership. To make matters worse, teams approach Gor Mahia with the sole intent of getting a draw and coach Ze Maria has not yet found a formula to remove the bus from its parking spot.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman Rachier says he is discussing the poor performance with the team<br \/>\n\u201cIt is a matter of concern for me. Last Sunday I met the technical bench and the playing unit to inquire what could be the problem and they said they are going to do soul searching to find out why they are not winning. I left it to them to deal with the issue before the next match.\u201d said Rachier According to Yahoo sports.<\/p>\n<p>Some fans will hold Rachier accountable since it is he who was eager to jettison Frank Nuttall despite his excellent performance in 2015 and despite the fact that with the Sportpesa sponsorship, it would have been possible to maintain Nuttall&#8217;s salary.<\/p>\n<p>But Gor Mahia&#8217;s woes go much deeper than Nuttall&#8217;s departure. The team has lost key players like Michael Olunga, Khalid Aucho and Ali Abondo. While Collins Okoth Gattuso is back to his bad old days.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Ze Maria speaking on Gattuso said that the player is self centred and has refused to participate in the team concept:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If He does not want to be a team player then I will utilize the other 27 players I have on the squad&#8221;.\u00a0 said Ze Maria.<\/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\/rachier-expresses-concern-over-poor-performance\/\"\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 chairman Ambrose Rachier is finally speaking out on the club&#8217;s recent poor performance in the 2016 Kenya Premier<\/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":[102],"class_list":["post-8771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ambrose-rachier"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8771","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=8771"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8774,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8771\/revisions\/8774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
