'Boring Orlando Pirates looked like a Gavin Hunt team, but please never start Patrick Maswanganyi again; Siwelele were robbed and Relebohile Mofokeng is overrated' - Fans react to Soweto giants' narrow win in PSL

Although it is considered a scrappy win, the Sea Robbers and their fans will care less so long as they collect maximum points. After recording the fourth consecutive win, the performance of some players has been scrutinised, with some fans calling for them to be axed.

Orlando Pirates managed another win in the Premier Soccer League after beating Siwelele FC 1-0 on Tuesday at Toyota Stadium.

The win takes them to the fourth position, while it condemned the struggling Siwelele to yet another loss, compounding their woes in the top flight. 

A change late in the second half paid off for Pirates as Evidence Makgopa came on and brought a new attacking threat that finally brought about the goal scored by Oswin Appollis.

After the 1-0 win for the Soweto giants, GOAL takes a look at how the fans reacted.

    Horrible game

    Horrible, horrible football… All this long diagonal play renders our creative players in the middle useless! #Tito #Mofokeng #Mbatha #Mabelebele will never play, and this means #Mabasa will be useless without supply - Chepu, not Tshepo

    Haunted grounds for Bucs?

    Bloem and Cape Town will forever haunt us, Shem. For years now, we hardly get joy when we play in these cities - Lungisile Fikizolo (Southy)

    League-winning pedigree

    Last season, that's either a draw or a defeat. Once again, siyabonga, management. We now have the edge to get results no matter the game. That's league-winning pedigree, even though we looked like a Gavin Hunt team today - Extra_M

    Scrappy win. Please never start a game with Tito in the first eleven unless we are playing Maluti College - 939

    Ugly win, but we take the points

    Bring back Mbule

    Wanting to play with wingbacks is not going to work for us. Also, bring Mbule back into the middle; either Nduli or Mbatha sits out. If we play WBs, we don't play a 10 - tha Plug

    Performance problem

    We don't have a player problem but a performance problem. We’re still lacking consistency. In one game, we play great football. The next, we completely drop the ball - MaKunene

    Boring team in SA?

    We played Kak; we are slowly becoming the most boring team in SA. When all this experiment ends, please get us a coach who will win us the league - Kindness

    Mofokeng is overrated

    We still going to beat many teams with Appollis, not that overrated Mofokeng - SLACEHOODPHARMACIST
