Lepasa and Saleng must play

Monnapule Saleng is my Cristiano Ronaldo, I wish to see you on the bench on Saturday, then in the second half you finish them off as we’re preparing you for the Nedbank final –  Lindelani Gumede

Please let Tshegofatso Mabasa start. Evidence Makgopa is afraid of scoring, he would rather assist than score –  Mamaka Vus 

Please, coach, Zakhele Lepasa and Monnapule Saleng must play on Saturday, we need them, plus they are both deadly on count attacks! I guess we will not see them! but I wish they were available –  Katlego Stormy Chokoe 

Against all odds. Fine or no fine, suspension or no suspension, we are not shaken. We are more than ready. We remain strong no matter what –  Aziangwisi Given

Orlando Pirates are no longer dangerous when they attack without Saleng, please select him – Lily Saz 

Pirates shouldn’t concede but Pyramids are a real test

Once, PSG – Pirates Saint Gauteng, of South Africa reaches the finals in any competition, it is done, we are champions – Peterson

Research done, all left is to apply the tactics coach Jose Riveiro stored for the players on how to win it, let’s win Buccaneers – Eric Mathekgane 

Let’s start Mabasa on Saturday, please. I’m not fighting, but striker without a shot on goal? No Evidence is good, but if we are playing with him, that means we’re playing without a striker – Asanda Siya Mthembu 

Let’s not concede; Pyramid would be our first real test besides Al Ahly, which didn’t have much to lose – George Ndlovu 

No holiday for the boys, we need that  second star, if we can score four goals in this 1st leg without any response from Pyramids, we’re surely in the finals – Vusi Nhlangothi
