Here follows some colourful quotes from this past weekend\u2019s Absa Premiership matches.<\/p>\n

Roger de Sa, after seeing his Pirates side losing 2-1 to Zamalek in Egypt:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shot ourselves in the foot today. We made too many mistakes and we got punished.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinton Larsen, Bloemfontein Celtic coach:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important not to panic and continue to play the passing game that we usually do. That\u2019s what allowed us to get back into the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Komphela, Free State Stars coach:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my opinion, this game was more of a mental test for us. We were in the lead and should have played for time while they were playing for goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stuart Baxter, Kaizer Chiefs coach:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe said at halftime that it would be very important how the next 10 or 15 minutes went, because in their dressing room, they weren\u2019t going to be lying down and sleeping. They were going to be whipping up an attitude and they would be making changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cavan Johnson, SuperSport United coach:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, it\u2019s a work in progress and we have to go back to the drawing board. Even though we won 3-1 tonight, I feel there\u2019s a lot that we can fix in the team going forward. We\u2019re trying all of our combinations and the attitudes of the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pitso Mosimane, Mamelodi Sundowns coach:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a big squad yes, but every other team has a big squad too, more than 25 players. It\u2019s just that Sundowns have lot of numbers and it\u2019s very easy on your eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manqoba Mngqithi, Golden Arrows coach:<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this stage, it will be unfair for me to be worried (that the gap is starting to build between the top eight and us). It\u2019s too early to say whether we will be struggling or not. I think once we reach the break that will become a lot more clear<\/a>. I am confident we\u2019ll be okay.\u201d \u2013 Premier Soccer League<\/a><\/p>\n
