We have a squad that is dominated by inexperienced players and most of them don\u2019t understand the level of competitiveness needed in the premiership. I think for us to turn the situation around at the club, we will have to spend big on quality players and also make sure we get a few guys with experience. We just need to provide a new path for the club, on and off the pitch,\u201d said a dismayed Tjituka.<\/p>\n<p>Citizens are currently sitting bottom of the log with a paltry two points from 14 league matches, and have conceded 35 goals, scored six and drew two of their 14 matches.<\/p>\n<p>Although they are facing immense danger in the relegation zone, Tjituka is betting on tomorrow\u2019s vital clash against fellow strugglers Tigers, whom they face at the SKW stadium in the capital.<\/p>\n<p>Tigers is currently third from bottom with 13 points from 14 matches and will equally be out for a win tomorrow as they too are seeking to move out of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean they [Tigers] too are also struggling and I think we stand a good chance to collect maximum points. We just need to play much better and get those points against Tigers on Wednesday. We will get the maximum points,\u201d said the retired Citizens veteran, who hopes tomorrow\u2019s match could mark a much-needed turnaround.<\/p>\n<p>Results<\/p>\n<p>Sunday, 12 February<\/p>\n<p>Orlando Pirates 1-2 Civics<\/p>\n<p>Black Africa 4-2 Young Brazilians<\/p>\n<p>Okahandja United 1-1 Blue Waters<\/p>\n<p>Mighty Gunners 2-2 Eleven Arrows<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
