Coach Kerr rests key players for Nkana friendly
Gor Mahia are set to play Zambian giants Nkana FC on Saturday . The match will kickoff at 8 am and will be played at Camp Toyoyo.
Coach Dylan Kerr has named a 14 player squad, resting most of the players who played against Leones Vegeterianos this past week.
Nkana finished third in the Zambian league in 2017, only three points behind the winners, Zesco United. They are preparing to play in the Conferederations cup. They also recently toured Zimbabwe where they drew 0-0 with Zim champions FC Platinum.
The last time Kogalo played a Zambian side was in 2015 when they lost 0-3 to Power Dynamos.
Gor Mahia vs Nkana Red Devil Zambia at Toyoyo (on Saturday) from 7.30am. Line-up. 1. Peter Odhiambo 2. Shabaan Odhoji 3. Innocent Wafula 4. Joachim Oluoch 5. Charles Momanyi 6. Cercidy Okeyo 7. Juma Lawrence 8. Bonface Omondi 9. Eliud Lukowam 10. Wesley Onguso 11. Steve Okiro 12. Raphael Asudi 13. Benard Ondiek 14. Jaqcue Tuyisenge.
Currently, Gor Mahia’s biggest footballing problems are suspect goal keepers and a very wasteful forward line. CAF speaking, I had hoped P.Odiambho would be a solution to the first problem so am glad to see him back on the team sheet after surprisingly sliding down from 1st choice to 3rd choice. As for scoring solution seems to be Gulkan. Anyway buck stops with Ker, does he have the quality to guide GMFC on the continental level. Words of wisdom from Sir.Bob Ogola are incisive and very good advice for the club’s management. Chance for passengers to prove themselves. All the best against K.Sharks.
Boni seems to have a weakness in dealing with shots from a distance and sadly during high profile matches. Azam free kick and Rooney’s shot come to mind.Bet you Esperance will try to exploit such weakness. GK Odhoji?? P.Odiambho impressed with some clean sheets at the end of last season so hopefully Ker will make the best decision but in my view we still need to rope in a top notch shot stopper in the next transfer period.
P. Odhiambo kept a clean sheet in the first half then Odhonji conceded in the second half….as usual. Do you know he has conceded in all games he has played this season?
@ musymo the goal Nkana scored you can’t blame Shaban.The goal we scored I believe was a soft penalty shouldn’t have been given,.Overall the team played a disjointed game.Kerr always complain abt the pitch, I was expecting a more purposeful play since we train at Toyoyo bt wapi hakuna tofauti na kucheza Thika,Afraha ama kericho.My point the coach should work on playing attractive football, this will automatically jaza stadium.
That abrupt longball otada Philosophy of Kerr might work for sometime but wont conquer Africa.He benches guikan then complains of many lost chances which should have been buried esp by Kagere.Come next game formation remains the same and the same story repeats,mara pitch mara ooh…I supported and still and always will support coach Kerr but modern football dictates we keep the ball more,build play from the back and score from clear created combination football
