The next clash for Mamelodi Sundowns is a must-win against Maritzburg United at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Friday the 21st. The Team of Choice comes into this game after a loss to Black Leopards, they are currently in position six on the log standings with thirty-nine points after twenty-five games.
Lebo Maboe who is a former United player shared his feelings about the upcoming clash, “they have always been an ambitious team with dedicated players and they did up their game recently.”
The last meeting between Masandawana and United was in the Telkom Knockout, where we defeated them by 3 goals to 1, to lift the first trophy of the current season. The restart of football has been challenging to all the sides and prior to lockdown, the Harry Gwala based side were on a good run.
“The lockdown would affect them and seeing how they played in their opening game shows that. If you look at us, we also haven’t been the free-flowing side that we are known for, but it’s only a matter of time before it shows,” said Maboe.
The match takes place at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Friday at 18:00 and will be broadcasted on SuperSport 4
Maboe one weakest link he play because favouritism he just adding numbers Pitso son change different position non he fit
hahaha Sundowns best striker.
What have we became?
We are playing our away game at Lucas Moripe which is actually our home ground…..so come on Masandawana…let’s collect these 3 points…. technically we are at home…. Kaboyellow
yes Madisha made mistakes but he’s not bad at all he can put 90% performance nd 10% mistakes we cannot get rid of such a player my advice to sir Pitso Cotzee is not giving us anything the boy is too slow
Play Lebusa n Madigan in central defence. Cotzee deserve bench
I would like to see a lineup that has Mohomi
on the bench , we need
to give all of our players
a chance especially when
the team is not doing well
i will be happy if we give Laffor a chance not 1 minute thats so cruel to a player i have been in that situation its not nice xem he did not touch the ball
Let’s hope for the best in the coming match Masandawana
Believe u me we r winning on friday.
Pls coach I’m begging you on Friday throw away favoritism go for kill on the remaining games the Absa trophy is in Midrand waiting to go either Naturena or Chloorkop.
If a player is not performing even its first twenty minutes substitute him we are allow to use five not babysit them akukho player ezoncengwa lana I’m kneeling down asking you because there’s no guarantee you will beat Celtic those boys can run don’t ever underestimate them.
After watching Chiefs-Celtic game, I hope Pitso will have a change of mind and plan,because it was clear from the game that those young Celtic players took advantage of Chiefs oldies. The likes of Katzande,Mathohocouldn’t keep pace with those young players . We need that as Sundowns in the last remaining matches and stop blaming five-month of non-football. But still Pitso as the Head coach,has all the power to call the shots.
High speed, energy, aggression by the young Celtics boys is what beat chiefs today.When i look at our team, we have Makqalwa, Mahlambi, in players that can run to that Kaizer Chiefs defense with through balls from the midfield like Celtics did against them. Celtic played through balls on the ground not these high balls yet you play against tall defenders like Matohoo. Chiefs defense is very slow like ours.All i am saying is that the race is still on , we can beat chiefs but please lets not sit back , Celtics proved that when you play them, you attack them with pace and they will have no answers, but Celtics have speed even at the back , that’s why they were able to deal with running Billiat when they had played high line but with us its difficult to play high line because we don’t have speed at the back. Back to Maristzburg game , we need energy , fresh legs etc to beat them , it is not going to be easy against them , and for players, they must focus on this game and forget about chiefs for now.We supporters can think about chiefs game but not them, for them its one game at a time.
Pitso, for this game against Maritzburg
PLEASE REST

We need to collect maximum points here. It’s not about you or your pride here, it’s about Sundowns, the fans, the yellow nation….!
We demand to see Laffor in action, not the last 3 minutes of the game.
Let’s pull up our socks Masandawana we are very disappointed with the way you’ve shown us. But we also need Laffor without Laffor forget about the league title our coach must stop favorism.. we need Laffor you can’t give a player 2 minutes then you bench him next game. Come on Pitso be professional
Really, we need Anthony Laffor bafwethu. Mina, I still believe that, this league belongs to the mighty Sundowns. To our coach and players, pls guys, let’s run our socks off. Let’s not blame lockdown, we have rested enough during lockdown period, as we re often committed in Caf champions league. This league is ours Masandawana, i strongly believe. Against Marit burg, pls coach, put in good soldiers including Laffor.
Don’t worry guys,I feel sorry for all Masandawana Pisto is arrogant he won’t listen to u… since he doesn’t even listen to his bench…Mlu and other members ur right this league belong to us but PISTO is selling it…..UNENKANI LOMUNTU… PROVING A POINT WHEN THERE IS NO NEED…WE ALL KNOW WINNING OUR NEXT GAME… CHIEFS WILL PANIC WHEN FACING SUNDOWNS…BUT HAYI” WE GO FOR DRAW IF NOT LOSE…AND CHIEFS WILL WELCOME SUNDOWNS IF WE DON’T COME WITH 3 POINTS..TO FACE THEM… THERE WILL BE NO PRESSURE ON THEM BUT TO US…. WHY’ OUR BOY’S DON’T FIGHT AND PUT CHIEFS UNDER PRESSURE… SINCE IT WILL BE A MUST WIN TO THEM..AND MAKE MISTAKES..
But Pitso his squad selection leaves a lot to be desired! Maboe is always in the starting line up and its clear to everyone that this boy is out of form and he is not proving the team with anything. Laffor, Meza and Phakamani can play that central striker position is given a chance! But no the coach does not want! He will field when the team is struggling and give them those few minutes! I do not what point is he trying to prove! The coach is very stubborn, i wonder why did he sign those players! Even Mahomi can play that midfield that had lost direction completely. I think he has run out of ideas, he does not know whom to select! We will be luck to win the league let alone beat M United tomorrow! If we get the league this season Chiefs would have lost the league us other than us winning it. We do not serve anything with that kind of performance!
Yellow family I think we won’t take this league because we’re failing to hit the net out attacks are not doing well and our team manager must give others a chance tomorrow like phakamani and meza can do better than maboe and jali must come back to starting lineup guys thanks
Pitso please rest Kekana for the next games and play him against Chiefs,a starved Kekana can help us.Put Mohomi and Jali,pair Madisha Lebusa and Bangaly for the remainder of the season,we won’t struggle against physically strong strikers and upfront put any of Laffor,Meza or Mahlambi and give them the same support you gave Maboe then we will this league.Langerman and Arendse should watch from the stand for the rest of the season.We really need good left back (Modiba)one central defender (De Reuckand Mobbie next season.In Goss and February our goalkeepering department is well secure.
