    Good Mbokazi-Sibisi decision

    It was a good tactical decision but was going to backfire had he lost the game. Like Mbatha, rented fans were going to mount pressure on him. Ouaddou is a good tactician, he is gradually increasing the depth of the team. He will soon bring Buthelezi into the fore. He wants urgency and purpose. He plays a high-intensity and pressing game. Slow and lazy players don't fit into his system - Solly Mashai

    Ouaddou the tactical genius

    A coach displaying his skill...we are going places with this coach guys,let's just honour Dr Khoza for all this! Whoever recommended this coach to him is a true genius! - Paul Hlaba
    What I like about coach Abdeslam is that he knows how to read the game. His timing is always perfect. He's a tactical genius. Secondly. He doesn't care about fans' opinion. He plays whoever he believes in, focus on those who can deliver better results - Simphiwe Kunene

    Ouaddou: Get a point from Downs and hit the rest

    This one is clever mathematically....get one point from Sundowns and hit the rest... unlike our previous coaches, they would rather win Sundowns and Chiefs and lose the rest - Vellie Ft Ndlovu
