Simba wa Nairobi have drawn two and lost one of their opening three league matches, but Muyoti sees no reason to panic yet.
Nairobi City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti has refused to hit the panic buttons after his side were thrashed 4-1 by Gor Mahia on Sunday afternoon.
The home team led 3-0 at halftime with goals from Sydney Ochieng, Benson Omala and Ronney Onyango.
In the second half, skipper Dennis Oalo slammed one home for City stars off a freekick by Dennis Wanjala but the game was to end 4-1 after Austin Odhiambo netted K’Ogalo’s fourth to put the game to bed.
Muyoti believes some of his new players are taking time to adapt to a new system, which will take until matchweek 15 or 16 before everyone is 100 percent ready to contribute to the team.
“After that, we will be able to know who is good to play, who is ready to stand up, who is ready to face the pressure,” Muyoti said.
