Gor Mahia started off their campaign in Champions League on a positive note with a well earned 1-0 win over Gabonese side US Bitam at Nyayo Stadium
Gor Mahia tactician Bobby Williamson remains hopeful that the team will play attacking football in Gabon when they face US Bitam in the return leg of Caf Champions League on Saturday.
Gor Mahia started off their campaign in the lucrative competition on a positive note with a well earned 1-0 win over their Gabonese opponents at Nyayo Stadium on Saturday.
“We should have scored more goals because that was our target. To be sincere, 1-0 is very tight but the most important thing is that we never conceded a goal. It was our strategy from onset to ensure we do not concede a goal and we did exactly that,” Williamson told Goal.
The Scottish however, insists K’Ogalo will not be going to Gabon to defend the slim advantage but will try and score at least a goal to boost their chances.
“Of course they will open up the game knowing they must score. It will be a blessing for us because we are also going there to score. Hopefully we can keep the clean sheet as well and if we score first then pressure will be on them.”
This year, the return legs of Caf competitions will not be played after a fortnight as has been the norm owing to the World Cup and Gor Mahia have less than three days to sharpen up before they travel to Gabon.
Praise
Asked about new signing Haron Shakava, Bobby said “He is displaying a pleasing performance on the pitch,. -He has the composure when having the ball. Despite his age he did his best in the game which is good for him and for the club.” said Bobby to futaa.com
We will only survive if we lock the game.
The best way to defend is to attack from the word go. Once they think of scoring an early goal then definitely they will be vulnerable if we use the most speedy wingers and lethal suppliers like innocent Mutiso and shaman Kenga in counter-attacking.
Bobby must tweak the team and listen to what fans are saying as regards the likes of BB, Rama and Kizito who are good but not up to the task. Try the obwoges ,ERICO,ONYANGO and even kopany who can offend and defend with equal strength. What will win the match is nothing other than the right strategy. The boys should be prepared for an explosive 90 plus 15 added minutes . BITAM is very much bearable in defending but will open in attack.
I recomend Obwoge and Kopany for the striking force please please, give them a trial.
OKOTH jabilo, kindly y cant yu give kogalo bilo bro? so even f we go in gabone 2takuwa ok,nwei najua calaber atafunga crozz itatoka kwa kevo,kaa atacheza,waah, lakini 2tascore 2, “‘we luor buda,hawa wanalipwa ..hau sio ?
Please Bobby don’t be intimidated by big names.It’s high time Obwoge or Kopany start upfront with Sserenkuma. Please consider Eric Ochieng/Dan Onyango in place of Kizito.Anyway thats just my opinion.
BW Is one man ever satisfied even with a 3-1 loss. This man is so blunt and inept, tactless and dull…Bure kabisa! You cannot compare th e present GM and even Ingwe, leave alone the last season squad. At the end, April is near and BW should start packing if he doesnt improve
Sir Bobby ‘ u r the coach & u know who is best at what position @ what match. Do not let anyone intimidate u. U r a professional coach & u dont field players bcos they r your friends but bcos they respond to what u train them to do. your work is to train & we as fans we can only comment but decision is yours.Field whomever u think can give u results but not who we as fans want. K’ogalo 4rever.
Hi Bobby Williamson, we need goals..!!
Since US Bitam parked the bus when they came to Kenya, it will be intriguing to see what they can do when they open up their game. I think GM will score more goals in Libreville.
@6 aka paparazzi what is ur suggestion should we give u GOR to coach since it sounds like u r a good coach look at u bure kabisa kama ginene
Paparazzi you have gone too far, I can’t believe that you are a GOR MAHIA fan. That is the best way you can use your brain. You can’t be a coach and you will never be.Anyway I don’t blame you, EVERY MARKET HAS A MAD MAN
MICHAEL ODHIAMBO, WHILE WE AGREE THAT BOBBY IS THE COACH, WE ARE ALSO ALL SEEING THAT KIZITO IS NOT DELIVERING.WE ARE NOT INTIMIDATING BW BUT OFFERING WHAT WE THINK ARE USEFUL SUGGESTIONS
Why should people hide their identity as paparazzi or bloggers? Who are you gentlemen? Are you hooligans? Are you bhangi smokers? Are you hyenas in sheep skin? Who are you?
My names are Paul Mwakio Mwishigaddi.
Its amazing that some GM fans would rather go watch Arsenal instead of watching GM play in a continental match.
Whereas Arsenal is guaranteed to be on TV every week, you never know the next time you might have a chance to watch GM in continental football. It is not guaranteed. This is not the 1980s.
paparazzi! u seem 2 b anoise maker wen u woz in primary sch. inono kabisa.,mkia ya mbuzi wewe!, ama unajaribu kukuwasho unaweza coach? mmh,y cant u reason positively,l dentfy u with aclass one is now dffct. style up
Chris otenga pachi no nyalo konyo…wapatie daniel onyango,kariuki chance pia wacheze donge? kukaa kwa bench nayo?
Eeeeeh! Gentlemen cease fire please! We are all fans and supporters of GM so, let’s halt calling each other names please and learn to accept each other. BW is a professional coach let’s give him the chance and see what he can do. What we write here might hurt someone’s feeling but won’t alter the mind of the coach remember he said he doesn’t read news papers i doubt it if he even read these comments. Waduaro kwe kende!!
