'When Jose Riveiro wins he is called master tactician but a plumber & failure when he loses! All of a sudden we have a million coaches in Mzansi: Orlando Pirates lost, move on' - Fans

Some stakeholders have criticized the Spaniard after their elimination from the continental club competition.

Orlando Pirates fell in the semi-final of the Caf Champions League competition as Pyramids registered an aggregate 3-2 win.

The team had reached the last four without tasting defeat, until the Egyptian outfit managed to get the victory in Cairo after a goalless draw at the FNB Stadium.

In his recent interview, former Pirates winger Lebohang Mokoena felt coach Jose Riveiro failed to manage the game after making what he felt were costly substitutions.

However, the majority of the fans feel Mokoena is out of order.

Have a look at what they said as quoted by GOAL.

Get tall defenders to compete abroad
If Pirates are serious about competing for major silverware locally and continentally, then size and height of our defenders has to be looked at when discussing new signings - Mli Makalima

Not fair to blame coach, defenders did everything wrong
I don't think it's fair to blame the coach. The defenders did everything wrong on the day. Very stationary in their moves. No communication and timing of the ball. Pirates must accept that they were not the best team of the day - Thandikhaya Moni

Riveiro has build Bucs than any other coach
You win some and you lose some. It's freaking called life. Get over it. The coach has done more to build a team than any other coach - Colin le Roux

Will your critics change what happened?
Will your critics change what happened? Blaming the coach won't help anyone. All we need to do is focus on our next games and forget about the past - Phindile Swane Masina

Taking game to FNB Stadium was the first problem
The first problem was taking a home game to FNB Stadium. The second one is simple; all goals denied by VAR were diagonal balls. We had a problem before going to Cairo that was to be verified. Xoki did not look sharp enough to return to the starting 11, and I suspect that has destroyed him - Nabobonke Ngubane

Blame defense without Chaine?
We told them about this Tapelo Xoki, and our lucky wins through individual brilliance. Makhaula only knows how to mark and work hard. These past four games he's been losing balls cheaply, passing opponents and empty spaces always, it seems like nothing has been said to him. We blame the defence but we don't blame Chaine? - Ashley Mash

All of a sudden there are a million coaches in SA
All of a sudden there are a million coaches in Mzansi. There's a coaching vacancy beckoning soon at Pirates, just apply and come and win that 2nd Star if it is that simple. In soccer, there are 3 possible outcomes: win, draw, or lose. We got the last one, which nobody wants because it hurts - Stanley Masia

It is too late!
We're past that, we're eliminated, and we are moving forward. It's too late to say all of what could have happened - Ndoda Kenene

He wins he is master tactician & a plumber when he loses
That is the life of the coach; when he wins everybody praises him and call him master tactician, but when he loses the game he is called a plumber and failure - Rogers Djedje
