Gor Mahia resume GoTV shield campaign
The Kenya premier league will take a break this weekend as teams resume the 2016 GoTV shield which has now reached the round of 32. Gor Mahia have an easy outing against national second tier side, Nairobi Stima. The match will be played Saturday at Nyayo stadium. For coach Ze Maria, its a chance to try out Crispin Odula who though he has not been playing has been training with the team. Its also a chance to work out the kinks in the Kagere-Tuyisenge combination.
Gor Mahia opened their 2016 campagn with a 3-0 win over Mombasa Mahakama with goals from Abouba Sibomana and Jacob Keli (2).
Last year Gor Mahia reached the semi-finals by beating Langata Gremio (3-0), Ushuru (3-2), Palos (4-2), Administration Police 3-1, before losing to Nakumatt on penalties. Fatigue was a significant factor in the Nakumatt match.
The winner of the 2016 GoTV shield will pocket Ksh 1 million and earn the right to represent Kenya in the 2017 CAF Confederations cup.
Gor Mahia have won the domestic cup 10 times with the most recent being in 2012. That is more than any other team.
Hopeful we will lift this elusive GorTv cup this year. All the best team Ko’galo.
I concur with you that this is a chance to give Odula a run out. He gets the competitive match fitness and we get to sample what he is made of…As for last year’s loss to Nakumatt it was fatigue and something else I still dont know. Let’s gun for the treble and strike fear in the hearts of the others…..@jathur gi ji, refreshing to see you back… Welcome back jatugo. Gor ni kama nyang’ omaki hapana buodha!!!
Hakuna mambo ya fatigue but twas the start of “Operation toa FN”
Okay. Hao Narbi sitima lasma kutambua sirkal. Mi nafurahi kama Jathurji narudi. Mi naandika usiku alaf sijui inapotea kwa hewa ama nini. Of cos sitima wataona sisi.
@okewkanango, ngato nono na andikanga tu usiku? Mor ok mi ngato….Tibim nyaka nam ataro!!!
kanyo kanyo Coch musyom. tat wen ngato nono iana relak.Of cos luking gor news. Kuomi.Kama vile saa natembeya, Tibim.
My Good Friend, hope you only write at night nothing extra like running!
Tibim. Kuomi jadhot. Gor nyale.
Mulee Ghost advises that Tuyisenge and Kagere should not start at the same time, that one preferably Kagere should be introduced later. He says they are playing the same position while one should be content to create more for the other but still score. That is how Olunga and Kagere worked last season I think. This is something Tosh, jabatiso and others have been saying for quite some time.#HeadlessChicken#. Jo Bloggers’ Branch you guys know opira. I have beaten my hands down for you!!!
# Musymo, this was very evident from the very first game when Tuyisenge played with Kagere, this partnership can’t work especially now when Gor mahia is under pressure, I hope know that Ghost Mulee has backed my recommendation, this guy Ze Maria will see some sense, Till then Tuyisenge and Kagere will continue bumping their heads on each other like you saw in the City stars game with Tuyisenge constantly wishing Kagere left the ball for him and vise versa, in the end running round like headless chickens, Because Ze Maria is not listening to me, back to my slumber as I wait to be woken up when Jausenge scores.
kwisha sikia ati wuod Maria tafanya sikuod rotason siku ya jumapil…..hehehe. Awuoro kilamtu amta ni star player Gor. Opira ogore agora. Tamu sana tena saidi, kendo mana ahinya
I beg to disagree with the opinion that jack & meddie are not compatible. The problem is not with the 2,bt our mldfielders who have failed to time their runnings & feed them with thru balls.the much talked abt near collision was a cross & any Gud striker should attack a cross its jst unfortunate they both did & it happens.the claim that they are running around like headless chicken is wrong,if they are is bcoz nobody is bringing balls to them so they have to Luke for it.I think the solution is to play kahata jst behind the two & two defensive midfielders. Kahata should not be made to go deep in our half to get balls.I wuld like to appeal to our midfielders to watch akumu & a Guy called chali when zesco is playing,their positioning,they rarely loose shape in that midfield & caught out of position.I have watched kogalo train several tyms ,(this my opinion),I think the last 40-30 min could be more productive to the players they 11 against 11 instead of 17 or 18 against 17/18 where everybody is playing including the docs in a half field.by playing 11 vs 11 he can work out on different formations that our opponents could employ &how to counter them.once again its my opinion
