The former Orlando Pirates captain also believes that with the support of youngsters like Relebohile Mofokeng and Mohau Nkota on the sides the club can be a menace upfront.
‘Tso’ believes this combination can even help Jose Riveiro’s charges reach the CAF Champions league final while also creating better chances for striker Evidence Makgopa.
“I love this boy and when I look at the black and white colours, I see him playing with Maswanganyi attacking just in front of the defensive midfielder,” Tso said on iDiski TV.
“I think the football that Pirates are playing they also need a player like him so that they can balance the sides.
“If you’ve got Tito on the middle-right, middle-left you get Maema, on the left-wing have Mofokeng and on the right-wing you get Nkota. If you have these guys, I’m telling you this team can go to the final of the Champions League because they will also be good for Evidence Makgopa who is scoring.
“By having these two behind him will also limit Makgopa from making runs outside the box. He will stay central because these two are good with the ball, they are good readers of the ball, and they can create chances for Makgopa.
“The plus with Maema is that he can also score.”
