"The young man, Radiopane, needs to learn a bit from Makgopa, he’s starting to assist too much instead of focusing on scoring," Mere said on the TimesLIVE Video YouTube channel.
"In the quarter-finals, he set up Appollis, and now he’s dropping too deep. He’s the one passing to players like Appollis, so who’s going to finish the chances? Leave that to the midfielders. Stay in the box where you belong."

Mere also outlined what he notice Radiopane loves to do all the time which leaves him frustrated when he's not doing it.
"He likes to be on the ball a lot and gets frustrated when he doesn’t have it, so he starts chasing the ball," Mere added.
"But once a striker does that, it makes my job as a defender easier. I’ll let you receive the ball deep, it’s fine, because eventually, you’ll have to come into my zone."

"It is laughable to see ppl hurting on the young man who had a long lay off due to injuries but they are content with the older ones who got chance after chance and did nothing i don't understand the logic 😔😭"
HumbleBarcaneer reacted:
"Putting a player into a big game in the 88th minute and expecting him to score is just peak plumbing."

Mokete_Motaung responded:
"At some point Boitumelo Radiopane must repay the faith shown by coaches to him bcz we are getting tired."
@ntshizadiesel shared:
"Nearly" isn't good enough, now that's exactly what I hate with this new guy, he can't even see that boy isn't a killer upfront, Mabasa on that Rele pass could have murdered it🤞🏼👀"
