“What are you going to do if Thapelo and Anele are out injured?” asked Mosimane after the goalless draw with Pirates this week. “From the training programme we have had over the last three to four weeks‚ we have been preparing Lebo to play right-back. It’s not like we thought about it on Tuesday — we have been preparing him because he has the speed and the energy and he can defend and head the ball very well.
“We can take a point, and experience will help us going forward. When we played against Chiefs last year I said that the point I got there would come in handy at a certain time.
