Tinkler the 'Tinkerman' confuses Sundowns coach Mosimane
Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane is trying to figure out how on earth he will plan against Orlando Pirates' tinkering coach Eric Tinkler. Tinkler, who has had pressure eased with victories in Bucs' last two matches, probably confuses many PSL coaches - not just Mosimane - with his squad selections.One day he is playing Thandani Ntshumayelo in central midfield and the next it's Yasser Mugerwa, or Tshepo Gumede in central defence and Edwin Gyimah or Rooi Mahamutsa the next.So as leaders Sundowns prepare to face the Buccaneers at Orlando Stadium tomorrow night, Mosimane admits he has no clue what to expect from the Soweto giants."Their confidence is growing, but they just don't find their rhythm properly. I think it's because they fiddle a lot with the team. That's my opinion."..
