Rulani Mokwena is not worried about Mamelodi Sundowns' lack of goals in their last three DStv Premiership matches where his team drew against Cape Town City, Swallows FC and Lamontville Golden Arrows soon after being confirmed champions.
Arrows held Sundowns to 1-1 draw at the Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu, Durban, on Wednesday night, after 0-0 stalemates in their previous two games. Mokwena said he would be worried about a lack of goals in three games if his team were not the top scorers in the league with 46 goals in 26 matches.
“It's a team that has scored a lot of goals and they've given me no reason to doubt them, so we keep going,” Mokwena said. “We had six big chances in total [against Arrows] and we only had one big chance in the first half. So there was big improvement in the second half, a [part of the] personality of the team that I like.”Mokwena again insisted, as he had after the games against City and Swallows, that it was not a matter of his team lacking intensity or playing to finish their matches after sealing a record sixth successive league title two weekends ago.
The coach, though, also could not put his finger on what the problem was for his team in their last three matches, as they prepare to face Stellenbosch FC in their Nedbank Cup quarterfinal at Athlone Stadium on Saturday .“I have to find the solutions as to how we can turn things around. We have to win, and on Saturday [given it's a cup game] we [really] have to win.”
