Tusker coach worried about major flaws following recent loss, vows to fix problematic areas ahead of title run in.
Tusker coach Charles Okere remains adamant they will not drop the guard despite their shock defeat against Talanta, insisting they will fight for the title until the final day of the season.
The Brewers found it tough against relegation-threatened Talanta after the league's top scorer with 16 goals, Emannuel Osoro, orchestrated Tusker’s downfall with a well-taken brace, the first from the penalty spot in the 2-0 loss on matchday 31 of the Football Kenya Federation FKF Premier League on Thursday.

However, Tusker had the chance to come into the game, but they squandered a penalty. Okere, who previously coached Harambee Starlets, took a swipe at his strikers and midfielders after another insipid display denied the Ruaraka-based side the opportunity to close the gap on leaders Police, on a day that both the law enforcers and Gor Mahia lost.

“My strikers are in a hurry to score, they lack the composure to plan and execute their plan, it a really problem, and then the midfield gave away too many balls, and they we create chances, and squander, it is a big problem that must be solved ahead of the remaining three matches.”
