Orlando Pirates striker Evidence Makgopa faced a backlash from fans after another poor performance for the Buccaneers.
The striker fired blanks during Pirates’ 6-0 win over Crystal Lakes on Saturday afternoon at the Mbombela Stadium.
Makgopa had a few chances to score but failed to find the target.

He was eventually subbed off in the second half after Pirates coach Jose Riveiro had seen enough of the striker.
His replacement Tshegofatso Mabasa scored the sixth and final goal for Pirates.

“Makgopa needs to be on the bench going forward,” @m_khize said on X.
In reply to former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Stanton Fredericks, @ChirwahM wrote, “Your analysis of the way Makgopa played was so spot on. I had to search for your account.
“Playing well and sticking to basics is a habit and you always have to be top of your game. He was sad to watch, wrong mentality.”
Pirates next face Polokwane City next Saturday in the DStv Premiership.
