Tinkler was slightly critical of Makgalwa’s performance asking his player to level up his game as he has now become a target for opposition teams.
“I was explaining that to Keletso for example that ‘Keletso you’re a target. Last season you were top assist. You were up there for Player of the Year and you’re a target now’, ” Tinkler told the media.
“So, everybody is gonna assess you and you have to up your game. I said if you compare yourself with Mo Salah, Mo Salah does the same as you. He cuts in and he still scores.
