where is evans Kangwa why don’t you call him the player is very active always having game time at arsenal tula please tell us the truth about this player?
Evans is not good.
Shonga is not good.
Cletus they say he is good, but Obby Chirwa is better.
Lubambo is way better.
Kansanshi Dynamos have a very good goalkeeper.
This platform is for giving players a chance!
How the mighty have fallen. Bennin & whatelse? ??? This is the calibre of opponents that the chipolopolo can attract.
Your Chigangi has spoiled the beauty of the Zambian game: lowest number of scores, zero flair, etc
