'Struggling against Orbit College proves why Orlando Pirates haven't won league for 13 years! Sipho Mbule is too slow but Thalente Mbatha is the system; how did Patrick Maswanganyi win PSL MOTM Award?' - Fans

The Sea Robbers collected maximum points against the newbies which is their second consecutive top-tier win in the ongoing campaign.

Orlando Pirates registered their sixth point in the Premier Soccer League this season with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Orbit College on Tuesday night at the Orlando Stadium. 

While coach Abdeslam Ouaddou will enjoy the victory, the display was far from convincing, maybe owing to the rotation made following last weekend's MTN8 triumph over Mamelodi Sundowns.

Some players look out of place, according to the supporters, while others have been lauded for their display.

Have a look at their arguments as sampled by GOAL.

    We need a striker, we can't rely on midfielders for goals

    Scrapy game, we can’t be dominated by such teams at home. Happy with the 3 points but we need a top striker if we want to challenge for the league. We can’t rely on midfielders for goals to win games - MpeshWP

    Struggling with Orbit and we want to win PSL?

    We are struggling against Orbit, but we want to win the league. Anyway, the second half squad did well - Mthimkhulu

    Our midfielders and wingers frustrate me, they don't know how to use our strikers

    Our midfielders and wingers frustrate me. They don't know how to use our strikers. Mabasa and Boitumelo Radiopane are not strikers who can run. You give them the ball on their feet and let them do the magic - Thabang

    I struggle to see the coach's game plan

    Gone are the days when small teams parked the bus against us. Maybe I’m hate-watching, but I struggle to see the coach's game plan/tactics, even a newly promoted team came in and matched us bar for bar - Last Numba

    Makgopa is better than Mabasa

    Good result, the coach tried to rotate the team; however, Mariko’s pace does not fit our style. Thalente Mbatha is the engine of the team. Lord Evidence Makgopa is way better than Tshegofatso Mabasa - Skippers Bucs

    Orbit College played against the referee but still dominated

    Orbit College played against the referee, supporters, grass, and weather conditions, but managed to dominate them the whole game. It’s unfortunate that they go home without a point - Aey Dear

    How did Tito win MOTM?

    No, how did Patrick Maswanganyi Tito win the Man of the Match Award? How? - Ghizo

    Mbatha, what a player, he's the system!

    Thalente Mbatha, what a player. He's the system. Nobody protects the ball and squeezes the pass in any given space like him. I don't remember seeing such a tall player who can run with a ball on his feet and doesn't get tripped easily like that - Lusanda

    It proves why Bucs haven't won PSL for 13 years

    Benefitting against a newly promoted team just proves why you haven't touched the league title in the last 13 years -  The Best In Africa

    Mbule, too slow?

    Sipho Mbule is very good, calm on the ball and all, but I feel he is a drop too slow for the Pirates type of play - Beekay
