Vilakazi Laments Arrows' 'Terrible' First Half Against Bucs

Vilakazi Laments Arrows' 'Terrible' First Half Against Bucs

Golden Arrows co-coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi says they could have avoided the two goals Orlando Pirates scored if their structure was strong enough.

Arrows' three-game unbeaten run came to an end after Monnapule Kenneth Saleng's first-half brace secured maximum points for the Buccaneers.

Vilakazi lamented the side's start to the game and feels there needs to be an improvement in the attack.

"I think we had a very terrible first half I must say, allowing Pirates to score the two goals, I foresee them that today they were not one of the best team in terms of the Pirates that we know," Vilakazi told SuperSport after the game.

"But because they have experienced players and were clinical in front of goals, we could have avoided those two goals, had our structure been strong enough.

"But it's water under the bridge now but we had a better second half. We tried to say let's have two number tens and try to go to them but we're still missing that link between midfielders and strikers.

"I think we still need to have attention in terms of our attack, the strikers, whoever is playing as a striker, I think the link between him and midfielders was a little bit less today.

"But I think we'll work on it going forward, a better second-half in terms of playing and stuff like that but it's not about playing, it's all about scoring goals, we were playing at home, we should have avoided losing the three points.

"But better luck next time for our team, I will encourage the boys, we still need to have the head up and make sure that we win our next game when we face Royal AM."
