This was our game to win, but we let it slip right at the end. You can’t create that many chances, fail to convert, and expect not to be punished,” Odhiambo stated.The former Gor Mahia assistant coach highlighted the team’s persistent struggles in front of goal, admitting that poor finishing has become a growing concern.“We need to go back to the drawing board and identify what’s going wrong. When your main attackers aren’t scoring, it’s a real worry. Hopefully, we can find a solution soon,” he added.Why former Real Madrid and Chelsea star missed out on Harambee Stars jobKCB’s struggles in front of goal have been evident since the turn of the year, with the side managing just seven goals in their last seven league matches — a run that has seen them win only twice.Despite the frustrations, Odhiambo remains optimistic about KCB’s chances of securing their maiden FKF Premier League title.“I still believe we can win the title.
