A well-balanced performance, a lot of improvement with the passing. We were a lot more patient in possession. A few areas still need serious improvement, like the LB position. The auditions need to stop, Mako is there as much as he's been poor. Otherwise, bring Kabelo Nkgwesa to come close that gap. Cross or McCarthy at LB is the same risk we are taking with Miguel starting. A time ticking bomb. Overall, the defense recovered well. We managed to clean our own mess. We kept a cleansheet, yet we lost a lot of our duels OOP. I think Solomons was our best defender tonight, made a few mistakes with his passing, something that should be expected, but still showed up with good recoveries, good carries and good passes to advance play and create positive attacking situations. The substitutions were good and well-timed, except keeping Mmodi in the field while we had the Velebayi option to create some threat on the left. Vilakazi and Sirino added energy and line breaking passes in the final 3rd, add Monyane who looked a lot more composed than he's been in recent months. The team was revived, and we needed that, we saw some good combinations and better game management. Ndlovu improved the energy in midfield, though he still needs to learn the importance of urgency in the game. He over-carries and takes too long to think of what he needs to do with the ball. Kills good transitional moments we could punish opponents with. Maboe not at his best, but still very effective in controlling that midfield, keeping the ball well, and always looking for that forward pass. Positive energy from the players, we lost balls in critical areas, but they fought very hard to close gaps and keep danger out. Great mentality and a positive result for the team. I enjoyed the game❤️✌🏾
