Bring it on boys! We are more than ready for you. We are going to stamp our authority on these students and send a clear message that we are the champions. At the end of the day, maximum points for the DTCs.

I like how well gro.unded Tuks is, these bo.ys did not just wake up and find themselves in the PSL. There is a lot of wor.k, tho.ught and mo.ney that was inve.sted in this UIniv.ersity of Pretoria team and their Hi.gh Perf.ormance Ce.ntre is doing wo.nders for the team.

Pirates wa.tch out, this is not your us.ual yo-yo team. They sca.re me more than most teams in the PSL, a lo.ss to Tuks is not only a poss.ibility but a proba.bility. Watch out for that b.oy ca.lled Mo.sadi.

You need to look at how compact they play, their formation and how they break with pace. Even with Niang striking alone those boys whip in pinpoint crosses to the box and Niang can take them equally competently where using his head and striking from distance. Crosses come from both the left and right flank so you can't close just one flank and the job is done.

Then there is the pace factor, ask Ajax how quickly these boys attack and it is one-touch football, four passes and it is a goal. Ask Matthew Booth about the battles he had not only against Niang but also the other youngsters who were running circles around him. Kade ahamba ngamadolo boss.

Pirates have Mahamotsa and Sangweni at the back, if I were Stevie Barker I would tell my boys to run rings around those slow coaches and make Sangweni to lose his cool. Pound for pound and considering form I would say Tuks have the upper hand going to this game, I just can't see Pirates neutralizing their strengths plus Pirates are shooting blanks. Who is going to win this game for Pirates I ask you?

Pirates must win this one, but is not going to be easy, that niang guy will cause a lot of problems aerialy, hope lucky will not play. sibisi,niang,ngoma combination is showing some good signs. but that does not mean that TUKS will beat pirates. pirates is a big team with a good record when it comes to this newly promoted teams unlike chiefs. chiefs is the one that struggle most with this new teams, but it seems as if is changing this time around as they manage to beat chippa. I am going for a win for pirates. sundowns as well will win, chiefs will win as well. this will be a gud weekend for both supporters of pirates,chiefs and sundowns.

Do you realise that in terms of training facilities, conditioning facilities, funding, medical and other supporting infrastructure Tuks is probably the best of all teams in the PSL. Yes it is a bold statement but if you understand that statement you will know it is true. Tuks may be new to the PSL but these boys are professionals, everything about Tuks is professional. Their coach is very experienced and has produced the best talent plying their trade in the PSL, players who have gone on to represent South Africa with distinction.

It would be a big mistake looking at Tuks and thinking they are a walk over because this is their first year in the PSL. This is a team that deserves all the respect Pirates can conjure up.

Come Sunday afternoon kukhona ozokhala.

Dzel,
i agree with what you are saying about TUKS, i can see that u watch soccer with the love of the game and you are stating facts here. the battle will be in the middle of the park where Pirates will be havhing more depth and TUKS tend to be too physcal when attacked with pace, of which i think it will be their downfall because they will be getting cards. pirates wings are very fast as well and this will cause TUKS to back track on most of the attacks. physically TUKS will be the best. what I am suspecting is that, TUKS will be dishing long aerial balls to the box for niang, and he will be shielding and holding balls for ngoma and sibisi who will be coming with speed. if TUKS try to play in the middle of the park, they will not survive pirates attacks.

Good luck for the against AmaTuks. They will fight with everything they have to win the game, I hope we will have our scoring boots on, on the day. Pirates cannot afford to make mistakes that make them lose games, we need the points.
