Although the rotation policy by Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi has generally been effective, it was always going backfire at some point. Chopping and changing the line-up in almost every game comes with a number of challenges.Losing rhythm is at the top of the list and that’s exactly what happened in the 1-0 loss to Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday.
However, for a team to maintain its chemistry and remain consistent, team selection shouldn’t be tempered with on a weekly basis. The truth of the matter is that any top team will always perform better with its best possible players in the line-up. It’s better to put your best foot forward from the word go than to react.Take nothing away from the Limpopo team, they were worthy winners.
Not having a single shot on target will certainly be a big wake-up call for the Tshwane giants ahead of tough week that will test their resolve. Sundowns face Cape Town City on Wednesday in the league before the eagerly-awaited trip to old rival Kaizer Chiefs in the Carling Knockout quarterfinals three days later.
