After their defeat to Brazilians, Pirates are currently fifth on Dstv Premiership standings and Sebola is not happy at all.

“I’m not happy, they were still big-headed about the MTN8 cup,” Sebola told KickOff.com.
“Even though we know that we are just from the festive season. Maybe they didn’t have enough time to train together. You could see even Sundowns players were rusty, same as Pirates players, they were rusty.
“Fortunately Sundowns had that goal then they capitalised on that, and then they started defending.
“Let’s give them another chance, a week or two and see what’s going to happen. It affected both teams actually [the Christmas break]. Sundowns they were not that free-flowing like we are used to seeing them play.
“Even Pirates were trying but unfortunately they were not creating enough chances.” he added.
