Williamson praises players

Gor Mahia coach Bobby Williamson has lauded his players despite their 2-3 loss to Esperance of Tunisia.

“My boys played extremely well against a very experienced side. It was not easy at all but we were caught napping in the last quarter of the game and failed to cover well. However I feel it will be inappropriate to blame any players as they gave their best despite the underlying circumstances. Playing away in Tunis will be a tough encounter and it will be extremely difficult to beat them in their own turf as we need to score two goals and not concede.” said Williamson to supersport.com

Williamson will be busy this week trying to come up with a game plan to achieve the impossible against a vastly experienced side with .

“We played against a side that has been consistent in the Champions League but all in all we have to go back to the drawing board to plan for the away game which will be a daunting task considering our opponents scored vital goals,” Williamson told supersport.com.

Esperance is indeed a vastly experienced side. Not only have they been a perrenial fixture in the Africa champions league, but in 2011 , they played in the FIFA club world cup.

But another key factor in favour of Esperance is the precision with which they make their passes, their coordination and the precision of scoring.
