  1. How we are not 5-0 down at 24 minutes only God knows otherwise the players are as clueless as their manager.

    1. Our midfield is poor ;
    2. Our attackers lack aggressiveness;
    3. The defenders have false confidence & lack the wisdom to learn & read the game…

    BUT FOR PATRIOTISM, THIS IS PAINFUL TO WATCH.
    We are losing possession & giving the ball away like its part of the game plan.

    Our midfield is slow mwe bantu eh!

  2. This coach should be fired immediately when this team of below average players he picked returns. This team can’t take us anywhere.

    • Imagine such mediocrity. Anplayer losses a ball in front of his coach and is casually jogging back while the opposition set them selves up for a counter attack & his teammates panic to mop up his error.

      The coach stands there & admires how his players are suffering….

  3. Our boys have been useless to be honest. They are as good as their statue like coach.

    Motionless & no ambition to compete. We are as good as OUT. So far we are better off coming back home.

    Hope 2nd half will be better. We have lost the midfield & our attackers are basically passengers.

  4. At first I thought it’s the team which is useless but after substitutions were made then I realized the coach is one of the most useless we have on the Zambian soccer team, because the more substitutions he made the more useless the team became! Zambian soccer has no future if those are are future players for the national team! What is the problem kanshi? Under same leadership of Kamanga, the women’s football team qualified to the world cup finals for the first time in Zambia’s football history, while the men fail even to qualify for local continental show piece! Reseachers should do their work!
    Ka doctorate kamoneka ka!
