Joseph Riveiro has hinted on how he goes about deciding on the system for Orlando Pirates as the likes of Patrick Maswanganyi and Thembinkosi Lorch have been improving in the team's resurgence.
Lorch produced yet another Man of the Match performance last night against Sekhukhune United as the Buccaneers finally bagged their first three points in five matches in their stuttering league campaign.

The three points from the 1-0 victory has moved Bucs to ninth on the standings going into Saturday's eagerly-awaited Soweto derby.
Riveiro has opened up on the team's system and combinations between the likes of Patrick Maswanganyi and Lorch as the club will be aiming for more goals going forward after some disappointing results in recent weeks.
"Patrick, he played today as a seven, as a right winger but usually, our right winger is playing inside. Usually, we play with three number 10s. Our system is a bit abstract, let's say. Tito (Maswanganyi) usually plays in those small pockets in the half spaces and actually one of the corrections at half time was to find him higher on the field because of the way that Sekhukhune was pressing today with the left winger. We had opportunities in that space and sometimes he was too close to (Nkosinathi) Sibisi and in the same line with Thabiso (Monyane)," said Riveiro, speaking to journalists.

"But the moment we switched positions with Lorch and Lorch was starting to collect more balls in that space and they created very clear chances between him and Thabiso and there was the one-two that Thabiso finished with a shot if I'm not mistaken. Lorch was running in a one on one with the goalkeeper, so we cleared the spaces to occupy there but I don't think that Patrick today was … especially when we played with Monyane on the right the lateral corridor was for him and only for him," the coach said.
