Match

4 matches without a win for Kariobangi Sharks

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Kariobangi Sharks are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Joseph Mwangi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kariobangi Sharks this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Bandari take the points off Kariobangi Sharks

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Keegan Ndemi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Patillah Omoto

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Kariobangi Sharks training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Michael Wanjala is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Ally Salum Omar at 20 — 7.81

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ally Salum Omar did not need any: 7.81, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Tempers go at Kariobangi Sharks

Joseph Mwangi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Patillah Omoto runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

A long bet from Kariobangi Sharks on Izzadin Juma

He is 19, and nobody at Kariobangi Sharks signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

5 new faces, and Kariobangi Sharks are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Match

Ally Salum Omar rescues a point for Kariobangi Sharks

It needed Ally Salum Omar to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Posta Rangers, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market

No place for Timothy Imala in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Timothy Imala has his answer from Kariobangi Sharks; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Squad

No hiding place for Timothy Imala

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Timothy Imala, and the manager let it.

Squad

Michael Wanjala falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
