I need more goals from Percy Tau – Mosimane
Mamelodi Sundowns mentor Pitso Mosimane would love to see Bafana Bafana international Percy Tau produce a better return of goals this season.

Tau scored his second brace of the season in Sundowns’ 4-0 hammering of Baroka FC on Tuesday night, reaching a total of four goals in the league; three strikes shy from his overall return of goals in the previous season.
Mosimane would be a lot pleased if the 23-year-old found the back of the net a lot regularly.
“Percy can do better, let’s be honest,” said Mosimane.
“We appreciate and acknowledge him. He is a good player, he fights, but he could do better in front of goals. He got one against Chippa United, he got one against Wits and he delayed. But it is okay, he is doing well.”
‘Jingles’ felt his side could’ve handed Bakgaga a harsher punishment if Tau was a lot sharper in front of goals.
“We could’ve scored more, we missed a lot but we scored four. Sometimes we shouldn’t be ungrateful, but they could’ve done better to be honest. The first goal gave us comfort… it was the ice-breaker,” he said.
“We managed to play a bit proper because of the goals, they brought a lot of confidence. It has been long since I’ve seen Sundowns push the ball like this, I am happy,” added Mosimane.
