While Orlando Pirates are a laughing stock on social media following their loss at the hands of Chippa United on Sunday afternoon, the fans are praising Thembinkosi Lorch.
It is clear that Lorch remains a darling with the Buccaneers’ faithful and they have accepted the 1-0 loss inflicted by their former winger Daine Klate.
Klate is now in charge of the Chilli Boys and led his side to a DStv Premiership win at Orlando Stadium as his counterpart, Jose Riveiro was left to lament their defeat.
Checking out social media trends, the famous number three, Lorch, is one of the topics but for all the right reasons as the football family is praising his skills and quality.
Some tweeps are arguing that the likes of Deon Hotto and Bienvenu Eva Nga wasted a number of chances from moves initiated by the Bafana Bafana international.
“Well I’m sad with the result but very proud of our performance, I think we did everything in order to win, we generated the chances, kept the counter-attacks under control,” Riveiro said on SuperSport TV.
“One set-piece, in the end, punished the guys, punished us, it’s a game that we’ve seen many times in the football history, one team dominating, creating chances, not scoring. The other one has one chance, a set-piece in this case, and gets the advantage and three points.
“Just improve the finishing, maybe we need to grow a bit more confidence in the last minutes that’s the key. We can face the game creating clear chances and when we do that we’re always going to be close to winning.”
Sira commented:
“You can’t hate Lorch and support Orlando Pirates manene.”
Anga Junior joined the conversation and said:
“Lorch ke Star a baller but he is surrounded by cows especially Hotto & Peprah what a waste #OnceAlways.”
Donald said:
“It’s not too late to give him the armband he is just Mr. Pirates, and rest Hotto please.”
Sir Tshemedi said:
“Pule and Lorch, If they both stay fit then Pirates has a bigger chance of lifting something this year.”
Up next, the Soweto giants will hope to return to winning ways when they face Royal AM at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban on Tuesday night.
