With Orlando Pirates head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou under the microscope, club legend Edward Motale has spotted two key areas the team must fix before facing Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Sea Robbers fans hoped for a bright start with Ouaddou at the helm, but losses to Sekhukhune United and Marumo Gallants have raised doubts over whether the 46-year-old can turn things around.
In the build-up to this weekend’s epic MTN8 semifinal against Mamelodi Sundowns, Motale has offered a positive preview.

“There’s lot of positives, there’s a lot of good things, I mean you look at the stats, from the previous game they had 18 shots, it shows they are attacking, it’s just that they are not scoring,” Motale told KickOff.com.

“They just need to work on their scoring chances and the defence,” Motale added.
