ball possesion dr congo 99 zambia 1

Zambia is lucky to be leading here. Zambia midfield is toothless ana is exposing the deffence.

We are playing like crap, no good passes and losing the ball easily, we won’t survive this game if we continue to play mediocre style like this.

We r giving congo too much room in the mid,they ll score if nothing is done

Congo is dominating in the mid and harassing us in up front. We are not doing too much with our strikers either therefore allowing a lot of DRC build ups. I would be surprised if we win this game. I hope I am wrong.

Ghanaians feeling jelous.

I see dr congo coming back to the game unless zambian start playing too….YES playing… This is pretty poor from them DRC will keep on knocking, zambia better change there approach bcos I remember what this DrC did to ivory.. coast during qualifier

WE need to fight for the ball and try to keep possession. We are allowing the congolese to play and they have completely taken over the midfield. We are defending too much. We need to fight for the ball and compete and not be cowed. Mayuka also should do more. He should not play with the ref. and wait for the referee to blow and give him advantage. Lets see what we happens in the second half.

If Congo had a deadly striker like Gyan the scoreline at half time could have been 4-1 to Congo.

SATE SATE SHOULD COME OUT FOR LUBAMBE OR MUKUKA MULENGA TO IMPROVE THE MIDDLE OF THE PACK

Mweene – has made some crucial saves to keep Zambia in the game but had one silly mistake in the 3rd minute which almost cost Zambia the goal.
Nkausu – Average shift. His end of the pitch has let in more dangerous crosses as he is struggling to keep the DRC attackers at bay.
Mbola – He has tried to cover his space well but at times not showing the aggrssion expected of a defender
Sunzu / Mtonga – Having to put in a lot of effort but have so far stood their ground. Good height helping Zambia win the aerial balls
Sinkala – Has worked hard in the midfield to break down play but not finding the long range pass to release Mayuka
Kalaba – Very good game by the captain. Putting in a good shift to help in defence and has looked brilliant when he has run at his marker. He caused a break down in a dangerous position which almost led to a DRC goal
Singuluma – Not influencing the game enough from the midfield but his 2nd minute effort was brilliant.
Sate Sate / Mayuka – Sate playing deep behind Mayuka. Sate seems lost, Mayuka not holding the ball enough to allow the team to join him up.

Good team performance in keeping the Congolese at bay. Zambia is pressing hard in midfield when they lose the ball but will need to play more as DRC is being allowed a lot of time on the ball.

Though we got that goal our midfield was dead, thus giving drc confidence to attack us at will. Perhaps we will see a deffernt second half. So far we have done well not to let them equalize. We need our style of play back, go zambia go.

Zambia 1 – 0 DRC
DRC get us underway

Our problem is da midfield we need 2 defensive midfielders otherwize wit 1 we shall struggle hence crack. This is when we miss a player of chansa’s caliber.

47′ Zambia 1 – 0 DRC
DRC pick up from were they ended as Mbokane gets ahead of Nkusu but his effort is not on target

Don’t worry. The 2nd half will be for Zambia.

No Jacob Mulenga or Chris Katongo to put pressure upfront!Sate, Mayuka play in a pocket, Janza and Kalu are clueless!

Get Mbokani, Bolasi tired, mke thm work!

Mayuka was miles onside but the biased lineman flagged him offside.

Our midfield is porous!

We cnt contend for 50-50 balls, Jacob and Collins wud at least be able hold the ball down in Congolese territory!

Janza just watchin!

Who can Janza bring on? Bruce Musakanya? What a joke!

This is the time Chris Katongo normally takes ova games!

Zambia needs another goal!

finally 1-1……

CONCO -1 THE CHIPOSN -1

DRC equalize; Zambia too passive.

Janza

1-1 Bolasie makes it 1 all. Evans Kangwa comes in.

Janza! Good coaches dnt react, they think ahead, quite clearly it was only a matter of time!

Getting scary now.

At this rate look at a 3-1 to Congo!

Useless defense.

Poor squad selection, poor tactic by Kalu and Janza coming to haunt us! Fwayo Tembo and Kabaso Chongo wud have definately added value! We need quick inter play in Congolese half not timid powerless shots from afar! Kalu and Janza have no plan!

This Zambia team looks disjointed; no midfield play whatsoever.

Substitution: Evans Kangwa [IN], Emmanuel Mayuka [Out]

So who is Janza going to bring on? Bruce Musakanya?

What does Mukuka Mulenga offer in terms of defense? Absolutely nothing with little to offer upfront!

hehehehehe what a useless zambia team

Another Substitution:
Sate Sate [OUT], Mukuka Mulenga [IN]

And he’s crying for a contract.

Kalu cant accept that he himself isnt coaching material. Coaching by proxy doesnt is just as bad as you being on the touchline! The lineup against Brazil was far more effective!

Dont blame Janza, blame Kalu for hand picking Patrice and Janza, so called coaches thta are, lets face it, unemployable outside Zambia, even Patrice admitted the time hasnt come for him to coach a national team but Kalu forced the issue for reasons only known to kalu!

we are pathetic team, embarrassing to watch.

This team is just there to donate points.

I really miss Katongo and chansa! Sate Sate has been exposed as a pure midget!

Janza and Kalu! So what are Mukuka Mulenga’s contributions so far! Zambia are wasting time in desperation for a draw! Thats what you get with Kalu!

Why always blaming!!! Check how many players on the congolese team play in big leagues and compare with Zambia. Were you expecting Zambia to win AFCON? Janza is learning to know his players. Give him time. He is Zambian and deserve support. You have given foreigners time and a chance. Do the same. It is ok to make critics, but be fair.

Am not even looking forward to the next game.

The Congoleses quite obviously targeted Sinkala.

Janza janza useful idiot

Are these Zambian players tired or just useless? I’ve never seen a Zambian team so dispirited, disorganized and clueless.

Time wasting from useless Zambian players.

How do u even give a contract to a useless coach sure??? Kalu is just promoting failure….

Sorry Sinkala has to make way due to injury but the whole team has been disappointing.

This is what i was telling you people. I can see people are crying. These small boys are not going anywhere. Tunisia will give the small boys a serious hiding! They are going to spank them!

END OF PROCEEDINGS —ZAMBIA 1 CONGO -1

Lubambo musonda should have been in tje team he is a direct player kangwea very good play

There is no reason to take time off from work to watch this pathetic team. Chris Katongo would have provided the spark this team pathetic needs.

WELL WELL WELL, TOMORROW THE GHANA BLACK STARS WILL LOCK HORNS WITH SENEGAL..I BELIEVE GHANA IS GOING TO GO THRUU..

This bunch of small boys is the weakest that we have ever assembled in 50 years! PATHETIC!

Missing Chris Katongo

Kalusha has to go! It’s not Janza it’s Kalu the problem!

1-1 is fair reuslt going by the drc were playing.

“Coach” Patrice and “Coach” Janza are only employable in Zambia, I wonder why thi$ i$ so, maybe kalu know$!

So, a lot of armchair critics were calling for Renard’s head? After this performance, someone needs to call him to come back.

Renard’s team would not play like $shit as this team is playing. Mbola is useless too.

We didnt play in this game, we didnt just compete. I am not sure if our players are just tired, weak or have no desire to go forward in this tournament.

Now you know why Renard favored big bodies and used smaller bodies like Felix Katongo as impact players! Felix’s game is more defined than Mukukas.

Kwame its so unfortunate that Gyan and Boye will not play Tomorrow due to illness. But i know the young boys will not disappoint us

No hard feelings, Kwame, your useless DARKEST STARS will be deamed off by senegal believe me.
I have to admit that we were playing a good side and mid fielders went to sleep, even your black stars would have drawn with drc.

the coach is the most useless for ZAMBIA, THE MID WAS POROUS BUT OPT TO REMOVE A STRIKER FOR A STRIKER. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE SUCKER PUNCH WE COULD HAVE LOST THE GAME.

Why waste tax payers money! let these directionless midgets come home to save us from worse embarrassment. Next game let Kangwa start. I must make mention that the whole team look demotivated!

kalu must not come back to zambia, i will personally kill him.u cnt blame janza on this one not even prayers but kalu.

Hopefully our players ‘ll grow in confidence for the next game and improve their performance .

what a poor performance. Point wasnt deserved at all. No tactic, no leader, no plan. Zambia was on another level with Renard on the bench.

Kalusha Bwalya and JANZA’s worshipers and bootlikers have gone into hiding!LOL

I did not watch the game, but from the comments – AWE SURE!!!

I blame the coach. Why didn’t he bring in Lubambo for the useless Chisamba who could lose balls aimlessly. Most players didn’t come to the party. We are in trouble. Coach useless.

And what are some of these pipo who claim to be Ghanaians doing on our site? If I am not mistaken some even monitor Nkhana games. Now what type of Ghanaians are these? They are just pissing some of us in this time of ‘mourning”. Stick your vima noses to your “Black Stars”. Please! I for one will not bother what Ghana is doing unless it is playing Zambia. Stop getting on our nerves.

I am called names and insulted for saying the truth. I call a spade a spade and not a big spoon!

This is the most disjointed Zambian side I have seen in years,hope Janza has learnt a thing or two going to the nxt match against Tunisia.
Kangwa is a better option to partner Mayuka upfront than Kampamba .

I think we Zambians, we are too talkative for nothing.we were crying for fresh blood and for a local coach.But here we are sate sate looked intimated, the local coach cant even read the game.
He knew that the midfield was porous instead of bring in Chris Muthali in diffence and move Mtonga in the mid before Sinkala got injured but he brings in Striker.Useless coach.

Don’t worry we can make it; i think de next game de guys will put more effort de gud part is dat we did nt lose other wise we did nt play our game may be our coach does nt want de job.

Unfortunately the inevitable has happened. We are very lucky to get a point from this match because in all truthfulness DRC outplayed us left, right and centre.
We obviously lacked spark, pace and creativity. Some of us who were calling for the likes of Chris K and Jacob M foresaw the fact that our current crop of players lack height and physicality needed at this level. DRC won all the ariel tussles and easily bullied our players especially in the midfield where we lacked experienced heads.
Mweene was a frustrated figure throughout the match because his defense was jittery and unassured most of the time. This was cause because the defense itself was exposed due to a very weak midfield.
Simply put, apart from Mweene, not one Zambian player looked national team material. We played at a snail’s pace even when in possession of the ball. Our lack of quality on the pitch was as clear as our lack of a game plan.

Nazo u are very right

I am watching katongo ck on supersport 4 I think he is the only thing missing in the team.coming to the game hold yo guns dont forget the drc beat ivory coast we where nt playing swaziland we made a mistake by defending to deep after they score we wanted to play iam zambia all the way I want the kay hammers when making to the nxt round to come here with the usual spede a spede story

Don’t worry tomorrow I will be blowing my vuvuzela for the Terenga lions.How I wish Ba was playing.

Easy guys, 1-1 is nt a bad result. The tournament is stil on. To my ghainain friends don’t taik too much, ghana can’t win afcon

Guys!!! there was nothing wrong the team, looking at the players, they were just tired, that’s what happened when we played cape verde, Ghana etc. We will beat Tunisia come what may!!!!!

We r only missing isaac chansa and nyambe mulenga.

Zambians you talk too much, this was Chipolopolo first game and DRC where too strong, Janza will come up with another game plan

Janza te coach.He is a waste of time.zambian football will only improve when kalu is out

The truth is that players that we have have what it takes to challenge any team in Africa. The only problem is the coach, as much as Renald was not a good coach, we could see a beautiful game coming from chipolopolo. the only problem with our team is lack of a coach who can impart tactics to these players. We have talent but football is a game of creativity and not power or size of the players. We could lose under Renald but the playing was beautiful. JOse mourinho won the champions league with inter not because he had best players but because of tactics,diego simeon won la liga with Athletico not because he has the best players but because of tactics. Our team at the moment is as good as not having the coach. There is no difference between the players who won the AFCON in 2012 and players in this team. With the same strikers we have now, under a good coach they can be very dangerous. The only solution is to get a good coach. From 2004,we have never had a fully qualified coach,they all begin their careers on Zambia.BOnetti was not a very good coach too but he used the wingers to get goals and he was good at that. Renald had a fast and creative system which was solid in the midfield and made it very difficult for other teams to dominate the midfield like what we are seeing under Janza. Let us get a coach with good experience and not coaches who have never coached a national team before. Is Zambia that low such that we can only get coaches without experience ? Only a good coach can build a team and not coaches like Janza even if you give them 5 years.

Even fans can read the game but the coach can not.it is very shameful. Coaching bench is full of useless people and I wonder wether it is worth it to have kalu as faz president.Zambia let us wake up and chase this idiot.

On the look of thingz we r nt goin anywhere coz we’ve been sayin tht 4-2-3-1 is the way 2 go we need 2 defence minded midfielders to cover our defence coz games r won in the midfield. Unfortunately we don’t hv quality players. Plan B wil b munthali nd Sunzu(central defence), malama nd kondwani (holdin mids), kalaba-lubambo-singuluma(attackin mids) mayuka or kangwa (finisher). Maybe we might salvage sumtin othrwize we r BELOW AVERAGE

Twasebana pafula uyu kalusha wa chabe chabe fye.

Zambians you talk too much, this was Chipolopolo first game and DRC where too strong, Janza will come up with another game plan.

Janza with a plan? Kwi?very useless coach

some people still think Janza can do the job.I thought we do not have players but I was wrong. We do not have a coach

who is a good coach from the list below ?
1, Kalusha Bwalya
2, Patrick Phiri
3, Dario Bonnet
4, Herve Renald
5, Patrice Bummel
6, Honour Janza
