MTN8 – Wafa Wafa! Orlando Pirates possible starting line-up against Bloemfontein Celtic

Big game this evening between Orlando Pirates and Bloemfontein Celtic - it’s going to be a tough but exciting free flowing game. Here is my detailed tactical descriptions of the Orlando Pirates possible 4-4-2 starting line-up. Celtic’s possible line up to follow soon.

1. Moneeb Josephs - Despite Senzo Meyiwa’s good performance against Kaizer Chiefs, Slim-Kat is undoubtedly one of the best keepers in Mzansi. He deserves a start ahead of Senzo.

2. Lucky Lekgwathi - Just like wine, he has matured over time. Very strong at the back with good offensive techniques.

3. Patrick Phungwayo - Mzansi’s best left footed player. He is very good going forward adding more attacking value at the left wing. He is David Nyathi in making.

4. Rooi Mahamutsa - Mzansi’s non-nonsense and strongest defender who can be dirty with hard tackles. He is strong like fiddle. He is the Andrew Rabutla of the Premier Soccer League (PSL).

5. Siyabonga Sangweni - Clean, calm, collected, committed, dedicated and diligence defender who is nothing but simple the best with good attacking techniques. A potential goal-scorer when the chips are down.

6. Oupa ‘Ace’ Manyisa - Mzansi’s true definition of complete creative and talented midfielder. Tactical discipline player with good ball passing techniques, good movement on and off the balls coupled with good dribbling skills. He is the instigator of Pirates attacking moves.

7. Andile Jali - The boy is committed with highest work rate. He is focus and aggressive player which makes him the toughest player in the PSL. He can be tactical ill-discipline sometimes especial when the team is down but he has balance defensive and offensive techniques.

8. Sifiso Myeni - He is very effective at the right wing. He is skillful player with array of skills coupled with good defense penetrating movements. He is fast with eye-pleasing defense splitting passes.

9. Daine Klate - He is amongst the best left winger in the country. Despite his nippy body, he is very skillful with dangerous crosses and also offensive ability of scoring crucial goals.

10. Ndumiso Mabena - Mzansi’s most underrated, but simple the best player with good movement on and off the balls. Very dangerous coming from the deep position. He is a hustler who always gives defenders tough times with his intelligent runs. He doesn't score many goals but he is a good in creating Benni's space to score goals.

11. Benni McCarthy - He is ever-shining striker with good scoring techniques. He is good on the ground and also aerial with good positioning skilled upfront. He is player to watch this season with good scoring techniques and out of this world composure. Very dangerous player in the box.
