To accommodate Mayanga (Benson Mhlongo) a 4-3-3 System is suitable. Keep the
back four as it is. Then Mayanga plays as a central defensive midfielder with Andile
Jali and Oupa Manyisa as right and left central midfielders. Benni McCarthy as centre
forward, Rudolf Bester and Isaac Chansa as left and right strikers
respectively. In the second half you can always revert to either a 4 - 5 1 or
the now defunct 4 - 4 -2.

Jali
and Manyisa as right and left central midfielders... that will see a different
Thugacated formation and I believe the Chansa, Benni and Bester combination
upfront can bear so many goals.

I
propose Mhlongo should be in second half in place of any underperforming
defensive midfielder. Packing the midfield limits the attack. It makes you stay
at the back more. I've noticed that our central defenders are careless
sometimes and attack a lot like the r/l backs leaving Manyisa and Jali to clear
up the mess since Cloete is involved in the attack but we can't risk having a
park-a-bus. Let’s sometimes change Jali and Manyisa. Also Mayanga is not
guaranteed to play a full game, he must get there slowly and settle coz if we
hurry him, it'll be just like another Lucas Thwala issue

– Jali – Manyisa – Klate – Chansa – Benni... Nami I agree with Sibabalo packing
the centre will limit our options... The Brazilian system is winger-less, but
at Pirates wingers are our best option... for Mhlongo to play either Jali or
Manyisa must sit out as I don’t see all three playing at the same time... I
think Chansa, Mayambela and Talatou will fight for the last spot... so much
depth we have.

@
Educated in your system we will have: Josephs – Jele – Cloete – Sangweni – Legwathi
– Mayanga – Jali – Manyisa – Bester -Chansa
- Benni... Using wingbacks Jele and Cloete to exploit the wings in the same way
that Cafu and Roberto Carlos use to do for the Brazilians in the olden days... Mhlongo
will do what a Dunga or Gilberto used to do... its an interesting system but I
guess it lacks fluidity especially in counter-attacks... in the modern game I
think it should at times take a few seconds to turn defence to attack... none
of the guys are speedy enough... good point though!

There's
no suitable formation than the Xmas tree formation 4 -3-2-1, especially if you
want to attack through the middle!

I disagree with you Juju;
let Mayanga gain his fitness coming from the bench. We are very strong on both
wings, so please Juju, don't temper with our wing play asseblief.
