The Absa Premiership champions were held to a 0-0 draw by Bloemfontein Celtic on Wednesday evening, and now sit seven points behind leaders, Cape Town City.

However, Mosimane is not panicking after failing to win yet another league encounter.

"The same game we played against Kaizer Chiefs, what else can I do," Mosimane said after the game.

"If you want to be emotional with it and you don't think properly, you can be emotional. This is a team that I've built and it's a strong team.

"These are the Champions of Africa, champions of South Africa and the super champions of Africa. It does happen, the ball doesn't want to cross the line, so we have to be patient.

"You can criticise, you can do whatever you and you don't think properly, but I've built a very strong team and I know what this team is capable of doing."
