Mbuyane is not a great striker

Thulasizwe Mbuyane scored 4 goals last season from 40 Games and I was told he is one of our best strikers last season with a strike rate of 0.1%. Which to me as a die-hard supporter of Orlando Pirates is way below the standard.

Benni McCarthy so far with less than 7 games exceeded Mbuyane’s overall season goals with 5 goals with a strike rate of more than 85%.

Mbuyane to me is a very excellent header of the ball hence 50% of his goals are headers, he is a hard worker in that and he is giving defenders a hard time by marking them (A striker marking defenders) lol, he is only having one style to challenge the defenders hence predictable and to me he is nothing like a good striker, I am not convinced in whatever.

His weapon is heading the ball in but I am afraid that’s just it and to those who say he is the best, please explain to me what I don’t see in his game, I’m not being too harsh on him but I’m afraid a fully confidante Bongani Ndulula is better than him. Mbuyane’s best scoring was against Mamelodi Sundowns, what’s special about him?
