South Africa isn’t ready for this one. SA’s top 2 clubs are about to give the nation a blockbuster. Football like you’ve never seen before. This one will set the tone for next season.

Dear @KaizerChiefs Here’s a solid striker and a goal poacher… This guy has been consistent for the last 3 seasons... Please don’t go outside the country looking for strikers who will panic in the middle of the season while there’s a League proven striker in our country!

I love me a good revival arch story. This one is one of them. Thabiso James Monyane! Ran the flank like his life depended on it. Had a hand in both goals and was the source of Pirates best chances. Pirates got the best of the same world!

I think it’s interesting how Pirates got game changing decisions go against them in successive matches. Soon as they get one questionable decision go their way, everyone from journalists to coaches want to jump in.

My biggest issue with Mbatha is that he caused an unnecessary scrutiny into his early career at Pirates. I’m not a fan of players who speak like they’ve arrived when they haven’t done anything. Keep your head low, put the work in and let the work call people lazy.

Micho and Rhulani had Pirates playing their best football in years, totally exciting stuff and very attacking. But nobody talks about those 2 seasons because they won nothing and couldn’t top Sundowns. That should tell you something…

This is why I suggested everyone logs off. Maela became a horrible player overnight. You need a long look into yourself if you think Maela’s a bad player. One of the best LBs in the country!

2 years and Jose has raked in R30 million. They need to back him up properly in the transfer window. The recruitment team needs to cross oceans if need be to find him what he needs. This thing of going to West Africa and coming back with an exotic name needs to end.

@ 19, Rele is already able to square his man up and apply pausa. Buying time on the ball so options can avail themselves. However he’s yet to learn how to beat his man using pausa. I trust Jose is already handling that. Generational!

Pirates cannot enter another season with a crippled build-up. The game is about flow and flow creates moments. This is how Spurs equalised last season, they kept getting transition after transition and eventually got the goal. Mosele needs to recover ASAP.

This is exciting. I don’t think the PSL has been this exciting in a really long time. We are witnessing the needle shift in real time. Performance analysts are gonna be the most sought after commodity in the SA landscape. It will no longer be exclusive to Dstv prem only.

La Pausa! You can’t have a Spaniard as a coach and not have a player mastering La Pausa in that team. This is the ability to slow down the game and draw out defenders to create. A player with a ‘La Pausa’ always has an extra second on the ball.

@am_buddahman There’s a reason why after a football match players shake hands. To leave everything that occurred during the match on the pitch. It’s called sportsmanship.
