I don't understand this hype made about him not being in the squad as if we have won all games when he is playing.
We've
always bragged about depth in our squad and we've always told whoever cared to listen
that Pirates is not a one man team but today its tears because one man is left
out of the squad...what about the other players who hardly get game time?
Let’s
support all our players fairly n equally Mabhakaniya including the likes of
Ayanda Gcaba who has done fairly well since boarding the ship. Many of us are
turning a blind eye on Happy Jele's weakness when defending just because of his
past performances in the club forgetting that he started where Gcaba is now
while he was competing with the likes of Kelebogile Mabe. It took a penalty
miss by Mabe for Jele to become a regular and establish himself in that
position.
I
have faith that the boys will do us proud in Tunis... our main weapon should be
counter attack. They will come at us n we must hit them hard on counter n
frustrate them by packing the midfield.
I
hope the boys took their scoring boots with them... precision passing and
clinical finishing should be the order of the day n we are through to the
finals... Up The Bucs!!!
By
the way… the Orlando Pirates squad has landed safely in Tunis after their
connecting flight via Cairo. All The best Buccaneer!
