It
is really discouraging losing out on the first round like we did on Sunday. I
got to remind whoever cares to read this that loosing up with 3 goals has been
a habit now.
During
Ruud Krol's tenure, we lost to Kaizer Chiefs with 3 goals more than once, Ajax
Cape Town also whooped us with the same score line.
Under
Julio Leal, Tottenham Hotspur brought us to mother earth with a 3-0 whooping,
Bidvest Wits did the same thing followed by the Angolans on Sunday.
On
all these occasions irrespective of media and the haters ruling us out, we
prevailed hence I maintain that, although that said fighting spirit seems to
have faded away, we may fight back.
I
pray, wish and hope we prove our worth. The 3-0 Losses then served as wake up
calls thus we won the competitions. Just like Wits beat us 3-1 with a defender
pulling one goal back for us, we can do this as a team.
We
lost the Battle but we didn’t lose the fight... ask Mamelodi Sundowns who were
meant or intending to hold us to a draw in the MTN8 semifinals.
You
don’t sit back and intend to defend against my beloved Pirates. If Mandla
Masango can score 2 goals to his team, what can stop the UEFA Medalist Benni
McCarthy from doing the same thing with Siyabonga Sangweni pulling one back?
Analysing
the game, we had about 64% of ball possession against their 36% so I bet this
team is in the mould of Qwa Qwa Stars or Bush Bucks thus had we not made
defensive errors, we could have faired well.
I wish you all feel
me. Thugacation!
