AmaZulu head coach Romain Folz says he wants to see his team be more consistent on a weekly basis after thrashing Kaizer Chiefs 4-0.

Usuthu secured only their second league win under Folz after punishing the Soweto giants at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Friday night.

"Its a game we knew we had a lot to be forgiven for based on our recent performance this past weekend. We're never happy when we're giving performances, the fans are telling us better luck next time," Folz said told SuperSport after the game.

"We're not happy with that. We know what we can give. I always tell the players that there's going to come a time where you're not at your potential, that's what we do at training, we try to unlock your potential.

"As much as we're happy now, I'll be happy when we're capable to do performances like that back-to-back. We going to celebrate with our fans tonight but there's a long way to go.

"We step into the second round of games the best way possible but hear me when I say we're still not happy with the ranking at the moment.

"It's not enough in terms of consistency. I want that week in and week out, then I'll be happy."

The French coach was asked what was different in their big win over Chiefs after the sides shared the spoils in their three previous meetings this season in all competitions.

"We made a few twists tactically, I think you can see that our approach especially of the ball is different, it worked today, something we can still perfect," he said.

"I think there were certain moments we can be a little bit stronger in terms of distances between our midfield, I think they found pockets of space they should not find.

"Other than that I think, one, the tactical approach was great, but I also give credit to the players, the effort was incredibly high today. I also give credit to my fitness team. I told you before the break we going to do a bit of work on the fitness aspect, you can see now it has improved massively.

"So as I said, it's a good performance, I'm not taking anything away from it, let's do it as much as we can.

"I think we could have been safer defensively, for an opponent that can give you problems with a cross, I think our distances we a bit big at times.

"Also how to deal with the wing areas, you could see first 20 minutes, something that should never happen. There's still room for improvement. It's not going to be perfect but the closer you can get to perfection the happier I'm going to be."
