Sticking with Pirates, coach Jose Riveiro has a selection headache on his hands as a host of injured players have returned from injury.
The squad has been boosted by the return of Olisa Ndah and Thembinkosi Lorch, who didn't make the matchday squad for the defeat against Sundowns.
Although Riveiro is happy to have the quality in his team, he stated that it is difficult to deal with on the "Riveiro reveals selection headache" story.
Here's how the readers responded:
"I real don't know what Ndumiso Mabena and Kermit Erasmus are doing at Orlando Pirates. The club should have kept Lepasa," says Slimtony7.
"Coach why don't you play Makgopa as a traditional number 9 and Erasmus as a second striker with wingers and 1 holding midfielder and a playmaker, to see Pirates play more crosses than penetrating with combination play? Maybe that might work but maybe not in all the matches as teams are not the same," says itumelengzukani.
"But sometimes I think the coach makes his work difficult buy fielding one striker each half of the match. The technical team should assist him in finding the formula to field two strikers and a playmaker, thus scoring goals will increase therefore being able to rotate all players as the team is not under pressure and winning," says svincent089.
