'Lorch is still the best player in the country' - Mokwena defends Orlando Pirates attacker's dip in form

The 26-year-old has struggled to replicate his form from last season this term but his coach believes he's still head and shoulders above the rest

Orlando Pirates coach Rhulani Mokwena has played down Thembinkosi Lorch's dip in form this season, saying he remains the best player in the country.

Lorch is yet to find the net or register an assist for the Buccaneers in any of the nine league games he has played this season.

Mokwena feels the attacker has just been put under unnecessary pressure because of social media and what he reads in the media about his struggles.
