There is something that Kaizer Chiefs are not telling us fans concerning Eric Mathoho because the few times we saw him playing, he has performed. The central pairing was leaking like sieve on Saturday. Bheki Sibeko

It’s hard to comment about the derby but defensivel­y between Chiefs and Pirates, the difference was a vocal leader and I realised that in Phakaaath Plus on Friday you said & I quote ‘Jele quietly confident of continuing derby form’. Indeed Happy Jele played exceptiona­lly well. Mduduzi Mhlongo

The between Real Madrid and Barcelona is the biggest game in the world. It shows there can be more goals despite Messi or Ronaldo not being there. Soweto derby, thanks for the goals. We need entertaini­ng football with goals. El Clasico Irvin Moshidi

As expected, Vincent Pule was the main instigator as Pirates put the skids under Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium last Saturday. I laud Pule for the pivotal role he played. Up the Bucs! S’nkonkela

To Chiefs supporters, let us accept defeat – to management, please buy two of the best central defenders in January – at the moment replace Mphahlele with Moleko and Ngezana with Mathoho. The midfielder­s and strikers are very good. LTM

Giovanni Solinas, he saves players for the derby, he complains about fatigue so early. What happened on Saturday? All the players need to fight, there must be no favours. Ben Congratula­tions to Pirates for whipping my team Chiefs. That is how a hungry bunch of players get a result. The Chiefs defence played as if they were at the beach. Please, coach, train these clueless defenders on how to complement a good job done by the strikers. YM Chabalala

Emiliano Tade is a sensationa­l and clever striker for AmaZulu. He’s showing local strikers how to score goals in a simple way. He’s got good composure. Kwabutla

Mosa Lebusa is going to be an integral part of the Sundowns team. He’s good aerially and a good, strong defender. He has fitted in well at centreback. Lenasami

What an exciting Soweto derby. It produced fireworks as expected. Pirates are making a habit of winning derbies. We enjoyed the game and that was a real derby. The fans packed the FNB to its rafters. Manonyana
