Flames caretaker coach, Tom Saintfiet has said some players do not deserve to be in the national team and
will be axed as he turns his focus to the 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria`s Super Eagles.
Saintfiet said he will be forced to ring some changes after being let down by the performance of some players at the Cosafa Cup in Zambia, where the flames even failed to make the grade in the third place match.
Although he could not be drawn to name the players who face the chop, Saintfiet expressed disappointment with the performance of goalkeeper Simplex Nthala and the defence. "I am very disappointed and angry as a coach at the moment. What i noticed was that my goalkeeper could not catch the ball when he was supposed to.
"This will have consequences on some players. We will shift some players. We will only select players that can give out their maximum.
I dont want to mention names, but if you saw the game against Angola you will notice that there was lack of commitment, especially the defense and the goalkeeping" He said it was disappointing that the flames created many chances but failed to make them count.
"We had 15 chances against Angola`s six, but they converted three and we only scored two. We have to learn to be professionals. he concludes.
Nigeria stay top of Group F, which also has Kenya and Namibia (who are already out), with nine points while Malawi is on second place with seven and the Flames need nothing else than a win if they are to proceed to the next stage.
