Today national coach Shakes Mashaba announced his WC qualifier sqaud and as usual a lot left for question
Goalkeepers: Jackson Mabokgwane, Itumeleng Khune, Brighton Mhlongo
Defenders: Ramahlwe Mphahlele, Rivaldo Coetzee, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Abbubakar Mobara, Diamond Thopola, Tebogo Langerman, Eric Mathoho, Thabo Matlaba
Midfielders: Dean Furman, May Mahlangu, Thulani Serero, Oupa Manyisa, Ayanda Patosi, Keagan Dolly, Aubrey Modiba, Mpho Makola, Hlompho Kekana
Strikers: Eleazar Rodgers, Thamsanqa Gabuza, Thobani Mncwango, Sibusiso Vilakazi, Tokelo Rantie
What team does Rantie play for, how many minutes has he played, he only made his debut on Sunday for Genclerbirligi he was introduced in the 79th minute with Genclerbirligi and they were leading, but Konyaspor managed to snatch an equaliser in the 80th minute. A minute of Bad Luck..
May Mahlangu, The 27-year-old had been clubless for many several months since leaving Sint-Truidense in July, and after turning down moves to both Dynamo Dresden and Randers. Mahlangu is yet to feature for Dinamo.
Still gets called up..
Jackson Mabokgwane, probably third choice at Orlando Pirates but yet gets the call up ?
Do we still want to be patience with Shakes, the man who said that he uses a criteria of performance and not history for selection. What good have the players I've mentioned above done thus far.
It's not like we don't we don't have quality.
Xola Mlambo, despite spending just six months at Chippa, the 25-year-old proved himself enough to get a coach like Gavin Hunt wanting him in his WIts squad. To some extent I believe he is a better player than Mahlangu despite both players playing in different parts of the world. Even Thamsanqa Sangweni is far better in my opinion
Another prospect to look at is Nathan Pulse who is top South African goalscorer in the league yet he and second placed Rhulani Manzini are overlooked for Gabuza who has featured mostly in the second half for Pirates but yet Shakes said he uses a criteria of performance.
Darren Keet who is now a part of the students has kept three clean sheets in his last three matches better than first choice keeper Itumeleng Khune... now how has that justified coach Shakes Mashaba's criteria?
