Where I come from they say if you give a cat milk on one bowl, and meat on the other, it will die trying to decide which meal devour first.
Mamelodi Sundowns are in a similar situation, competing for the Nedbank cup, The Premiership title and the Champions league. There is a risk of winning none.
After their game against Bloemfontein Celtic, Pitso Mosimane emphasized their need to win every game in order to compete on all fronts. That sounds like mission impossible.
Despite having a big squad, Masandawana are already plagued by injuries to key players. That alone is enough to disrupt their rhythm and cause a few blues for the technical team. If you add fatigue on the equation, the scales are bound to tip against them.
If a jack of many trades is a master of none, then ‘Jingles’ will have to prioritize. Is the League title more important to him than the CAF Champions league? Can he use the Nedbank cup to give game time to fringe players?.
The Pitso I've been observing would like to win them all, but his football intelligence might whisper the truth to his ears. The energy banks are running low, he needs to be careful where he spends it.
