CLARITY The defensive clarity at Vipers last season was top…they operated with a rest defense in a clear way & consistently. It was more of [ 3+2 or 3+1 ] defensive set up whenever they entered the opponent’s final third The right back always moved up the pitch more

CRANES I have no problem with some players being summoned yet they won't play against Botswana coz the mission is building a team for AFCON 2027 come June/July ....this will help them get into the team's culture, teammates & coaches as well as the style of play

CRANES . My midfield question seems to be almost getting the answer . Buildups not yet fine . Right full/wing back is now fine . Progressions & Transitions need more clarity in roles & positioning ....more in-game analysis/solutions is needed too in both OOP & IP

UGANDA Vs BOTSWANA Let my analysis begin & given that we already qualified, all my focus is centred around how the Uganda cranes will play in June/July next year.

CRANES The international break is here, my attention now shifts to Uganda Cranes .....tactical side & squad additions [naturalized players] were brilliant in the September international break

KAWEMPE MUSLIM Congratulations Kawempe Muslim Ladies upon your qualification to the knock out stage First appearance in the CAF women's champions league but managed to secure 2 wins in the groups .....Agnes Nabukenya will always deliver that's why I have always analyzed her

KYADONDO UNITED WFC My consecutive win was destructed by heavy rains, referee had to temporarily suspend the game in the 69th min due to heavy rains We were already leading 2-0 but the opponent refused to return to finish the game Patiently awaiting for the boardroom decision

TARABINA I remember many Vipers SC fans disagreeing with me when I praised Tarabina after his UPL debut Someone even added that I have been paid to do PR for him ....its just getting started coz I see so many special attributes in him then the versatility

TARABINA Sometimes a team needs those players who read the game, get solutions & then communicate before the opponent utilizes your cracks Around the 8' mins, I saw Tarabina asking his teammates to move forward other than sitting behind...by the 5th, I had already realized this

CLARITY When I talk about clarity at Vipers, I mean; . Clarity in buildups . Clarity in Progressions . Clarity in positioning & roles . Clarity in creativity(more flexibility is needed too, at least Miya is more flexible) ...a rest defense is needed to stop transitions

KENYA PREMIER LEAGUE With my tight schedule this weekend, I will at least catch up Shabana match then Gor Mahia vs Nairobi United. ...am still closely following before I start making my analysis here

DETAILS Lugazi needs to get more detailed & intentional with their offensive profiles Covering well the most dangerous zones....yesterday against Vipers, zone 14 was too open, reluctant to 2nd balls then no full-time concentration, decisions & execution in their attacks

VIPERS The team has become so vulnerable to quick transitions yet most UPL teams thrive on that...this is worrying please Last season, coach Minnert's [3+2] "rest defense" plus compactness helped a lot .....against any team with good transitional forwards, Vipers will struggle

MIYA Farouk Miya somehow changed the game, he added some fluidity, I love his double passing...the angles of support, made Vipers have the ball more on the ground in the final third....him & Walusimbi play with top notch clarity His fitness remains the key issue

WALUSIMBI Indeed Abubakar Walusimbi hasn't disappointed me...too exceptional ...the general game plan is where am gonna camp tomorrow coz the team completely had no "clarity" despite parading a good squad A win is a win and it will help in building the moment needed at Vipers

VIPERS vs LUGAZI Half time Vipers is completely lacking clarity across all phases from buildups, progression, positioning....I wish Ayala gets more detailed I hope I see something different in the 2nd half

VIPERS vs LUGAZI Already inside St Mary's stadium Kitende for UPL night football ....abit excited to see Abubakar Walusimbi in the starting XI but let's wait for the general game plan from interim coach Ayala

MAROONS On top of that, Maroons fc has added "passiveness" to their game . Passiveness in their OOP . Limited communication . Huge spaces . Less anticipation . Watching their defensive blocks is completely irritating ....I hope video analysis helps Maroons FC
