Coach Harrison pinpoints high-flying Gor Mahia’s Achilles Heel

Despite maintaining an unbeaten run in the five games they have played so far this season, Gor Mahia head coach Mark Harrison has highlighted the team’s biggest undoing that has made the sublime run feel far from perfect.Since the start of the season, Gor has managed to narrowly edge out their opponents in all the clashes as they have won by a single goal margin in all games except for the match against Kariobangi Sharks where a goalkeeping error enabled the record Kenyan champions to record their first two-goal margin this season.FT: K. Sharks 0 – 2 Gor Mahia( Omalla 12′, Lwasa 83′ ) It’s strange for us to play at lunch time ( 1pm) right? No stress, we had a good lunch – a fried SHARK is so delicious. Once again, we’ve whipped the hell out of them… and we are rolling. 💪💪#Sirkal | #Betsafe pic.twitter.com/4X3NZphQQ8— GOR MAHIA FC (@OfficialGMFC) October 27, 2021 However, after managing a perfect four wins in the first four games, K’Ogalo’s 100% start to the season was brought to a halt as Ulinzi Stars held them to a barren stalemate in a rescheduled league match played at Thika Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.In the game, Harrison bemoaned the team’s lack of clinical edge in front of goal that ended up allowing Ulinzi to grow into the match and claim a point to soil their perfect start.##NAJAVA_MECA_5949674##“I feel we should have won the game in the first half. We had two, three great chances and we could have come in at halftime two-nil up probably if not three. Game over. That has been our problem. If we have a problem that has been it. We are keeping teams in the game for the full ninety minutes instead of finishing them off when we have the opportunities. If we come in at halftime two-nil up, three-nil up they are dead and buried. But you know the longer the game goes on, they feel they have an opportunity to get a goal and they push harder and harder. We have to finish teams off when we get those chances. So if there is a negative out of it, that is it,” the head coach remarked after the draw.Today’s game against Ulinzi Stars was Mark Harrison’s tenth league game in charge of @OfficialGMFCSince taking over, the head coach has only lost once in the ten. A 0-2 loss against Nzoia Sugar at the end of last season. He’s won six and drawn three. Game-changer.#GorMahia pic.twitter.com/Y4wFhnatDY— OptaKe (@ke_opta) November 3, 2021 Despite firing blanks, Gor maintained an unbeaten record as they went to the top of the table on 13 points, one ahead of second-placed Bandari, Harrison counting that as the positive out of the game he labelled as the best he has been involved in since he took over the reins at the 19-time Kenyan champions.“The positive out of the game is that we are unbeaten and we are top of the league. I thought it was hell of a good game, really did. From the first to the last whistle. I enjoyed it myself and that was the best game I have been involved in since I came to Kenya,” the head coach added.
