Club legend Siyabonga Nkosi has accused Kaizer Chiefs winger Pule Mmodi of occasionally being greedy with the ball, whilst also highlighting areas of improvement for the skillful winger.
Chiefs made it two victories in a row with an emphatic 3-0 slaying of Chippa United in the Last 16 of the Nedbank Cup at FNB Stadium on Saturday.

Goals came from Gaston Sirino, Inacio Miguel, and Mmodi - who netted his third of the season.
The 31-year-old endured a difficult start to the campaign under new head coach Nasreddine Nabi but came to life towards the halfway point and started all five of the last five.
Reviewing the Nedbank Cup clash against Chippa United, Nkosi has warned that Mmodi has to be more generous with the ball but praised the winger for the skillfulness in one-on-one situations.
"My biggest problem with Pule Mmodi in the last few games is that he doesn't seem keen to share the ball with other players and hence, he doesn't play properly," Nkosi said on SuperSport TV.
"But he did that in the first half (against Chippa) and that is why I say [Gaston] Sirino is very important to this Kaizer Chiefs team because he encourages the players around him to share the ball, to look for one another.
"Pule did that, he even set up a great opportunity in the first half for Tashreeq Morris, I think.
"But in the second half, when Sirino was not there, he started messing around.

"He's got that (ability), that when it comes to one-on-one situations, you can count on him, he will get past. But he's got good teammates around him and whenever you have good teammates around you...
"It also helps to have a Thabo Cele, who is that type of player that influences everyone else to share the ball," he added.
Mmodi and Co. return to action against SuperSport United in a Betway Premiership classh at FNB Stadium on Tuesday.
A win will take them up to fourth on the table.
Kick-off is at 19:30.
