Express 0-2 Police
Kefa Kisala’s appalling football at Wankulukuku ought to be checked.
Kisala came up against Police FC and did not provide the answers to the visitor’s tactical approach.
Abadallah Mubiru proved too good for Kisala who afforded no shot on goal in the first half of the game.
it was a painful display to watch for the fans who poured in their numbers after the chairman Kiryowa Kiwanuka also known as KK splashed the money on some big names.
KK and his team were able to lure Brian Umony, Frank Zaga Tumwesigye, Goffin Geoffrey, Ssekyembe Sadiq and Ivan Ocholit to Wankulukuku.
The arrival of this force bar how they would fit in, was to show the club’s efforts to see things change both on the playing field and out of it.
Nile Special, Equity Bank and Betway have already committed to the team’s cause.
You would think the coach would consider the efforts and then pull his socks up to ensure the efforts are marched with the performances on the pitch.
Which isn’t the case. The team’s display was worrying. The tactical assemblage did not give room for the better. It absolutely tells you he has no idea about his starting 11.
There is clearly a problem with the deployment of the playing staff. John Revita is a defensive midfield player and would offer more if played right.
His sweeping long passes forward would benefit the attacking force.
Michael Birungi played at the right back position most of the times. Yet with an attacking system, he should be above the half line to push for crosses for the forwards.
Ibrahim Kayiwa, the attacking creative spark of the team was isolated most of the time. Kayiwa had to drop back to beef up the defensive midfield department.
Tony Odur who appeared to have started well, has stagnated. He just wasn’t himself when brought in the second half.
You do not see coordinated effort from the back to the midfield and to the third half of the pitch. Against Toro, it was the same story written with hundreds of fans traveling to cheer the team.
Express FC management is waiting for the club to drop into the relegation zone to begin to act. But nobody wants to be involved in the last minute heart-aching scramble for survival.
