You need him not us
I love what I saw especially first half we cooking 🎉
Watching this game for the second time. I would love to see more of Mashiloane and that guy wearing jersey 49 can't see his name but he is a good player also. For me personally it's Kwayiba over tito if we play a midfield of Ndluli + Mbule. Haven't seen much from the rest who played 2nd half, Selepe eish I still have to see more of him really
Thankyou. Most of us watched it here due to the "technical" issues with the BWFC stream.
Where is olisa Nda
Yooooo sorry majita
But we can't always play the ball backwards..everytime..l mean we weren't take a chance.. challenge the keeper 😕😕
Khona abathole u 4-0 ngabe iqiniso guys?
After rewatching the game, I noticed that when we have possession, players need to show for the ball and offer forward passing options. A lot of our midfielders are too disconnected from the passing sequences involving Mbule and Tito during the build-up and attacking phases, when attackers move defenders lose their guard. This season we want any to score, so we rotate!
The back / safe passing is on auto pilot ngenkani, It is possible to receive the ball and switch your stance to be more advantageous, refer to PSGs 4th goal against RM in the CWC, they use this technic twice and it leads to a goal from a bad stance and it puts off the defenders, kubo!
I'm very impressed in terms of perfomance despite the lack of execution but I'm very happy what I'm seeing here, bathi, "Isazodlala iTV". 😊 🔥🔥🔥
Thaiks for giving us game 🙏
🫡
Up bucs🎉❤
Set piece
NUMBER 4 AND 2 ?
Good luck in the future. You played in a good spirit and didn't injure any of the Bolton players.
Sihle Nduli🔥🤌🏾🕺🏾
lo Coach lo 💔
Imagine being a new Pirates player playing in Spain for the first time it's not an easy task. Let's give them time to bed in without any pressure buccaneers ❤
For first game of the pre season that's impressive. The aim is to prepare and integrate all the new players.
We'll see improvements with the coming games
Pirates can compete at the club world cup
I think it a good thing we lost because when we lose the coach can see who is fit rather than winning all preseason games and lose when we come back to sa
Appolis is not happy😂
Ai a NOOooooo !!i fire him before the season plz jose riviero's legacy gone way too soon 😢 this is not the orlando pirates we wanted NO! 3rd division club??ai khona then we wanna beat sundowns for the league while they playing 4-3 with one of the best clubs in the world MR KHOZA PLZZ FIND A COACH IN SPAIN AGAIN PLZZ YOOHHH😮AI SUKA
We are winning all the remaining ones trust me
😂😂😂😂😂whipppppi 2
Sipho Mbule 🔥
A true orlando pirates fan can actually vouch and say we ready despite the criticism …
They are playing coach instructions.
Our Radiopane is a good player but not ready for our senior team
It will take the coach time I suggest he doesn't change anything
Why upload sundowns part?
Uhm satisfied with our style of play
Thanks for showing the match, up the Wanderers!
This was a preseason match where results don't define your destiny next season it's only experiment and check weaknesses and strengths of the individual players
They laughed at us😂😂😂 comedy show is continuing 🥴
It's a preseason game , we still cooking I'm 100% behind the boys. Atleast now coach knows our weakness since we concead on set pieces. We need to catch them on the counter ,when playing against low block we gave them to much time to become compact
Most of the new signings are not hungry,I know this is just a friendly but they don't have hunger in themselves
We needed Rulani not this guy Abdeslam
This is Khozas fault… the old geezer has lost it
He should've just signed Rhulani
they were busy laughing Chiefs instead of preparing for this game🤣🤣🤣
Everything was just kak.
Our players can't trap the ball
Mighty days of Pirates are history.
There's only one giant in SA now.
