The SuperSport defence is suspect having leaked many goals this season. Gavin Hunt’s men let in four goals in the 4-2 defeat against Golden Arrows on Wednesday, while Stars easily brushed aside Maritzburg United 4-1.
The Bafana Bafana centre back told KickOff.com that he is well aware that Stars will come out with guns blazing but his side will deal with it.
“The truth is that it’s been a tough season for us. Teams which we normally beat, have got the better of us. It’s going to be tough to try and stop the free scoring Stars at home. The fact that they are playing at home means that we have a mountain to climb if we are to go through,” said Gould.
The Nedbank Cup is the only realistic chance for SuperSport to salvage what has been a poor season as they are lingering just outside a top eight spot. However, Gould believes that they could save face if they go all the way to the Final of this tournament.
“We believe that we can go all the way. If we can close the back door and score, why not? This is a Cup competition so it doesn’t have to be pretty, just has to be effective.”
The skipper’s remarks suggest that all that matters to him is a win and it doesn’t matter how it comes.
