Match17 Apr 2027

Liberty Professionals end the wait against Asante Kotoko

It had gone 7 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Squad19 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Liberty Professionals

David Inusah and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match17 Apr 2027

a squad player the difference as Liberty Professionals beat Asante Kotoko

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: a squad player. 1‑0 against Asante Kotoko, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings19 Apr 2027

David Inusah was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.04. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad19 Apr 2027

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mohammed Wakaso was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Andre Gyan kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

Afriyie Asante is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout19 Apr 2027

The form table has caught Roger Akato

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Squad19 Apr 2027

Bookings catch up with Gladson Baba

One yellow too many, and a match watched from the stand. The most avoidable absence in football, and Liberty Professionals will feel it on Saturday.

Loan watch22 Mar 2027

20 goals on loan for Harrison Kudus

26 appearances at Hearts of Oak and the goals keep coming. Liberty Professionals are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Match20 Mar 2027

No end in sight to Liberty Professionals's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Liberty Professionals has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Felix Mensah is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match20 Mar 2027

Gladson Baba among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Gladson Baba on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Liberty Professionals and Wa All Stars.

Match20 Mar 2027

Liberty Professionals come up short against Wa All Stars

Wa All Stars left with the points after a 2‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Gladson Baba in the eights

A performance of 8.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Words exchanged at Liberty Professionals

Mohammed Wakaso and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

Kelvin Dosseh gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Too much change too quickly at Liberty Professionals

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

David Inusah 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.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Gladson Baba signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gladson Baba commits to Liberty Professionals for another 3 years.

Match6 Mar 2027

A bad afternoon for Liberty Professionals against BA All Stars

0‑1 to BA All Stars, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad8 Mar 2027

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Harrison Appiah was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Liberty Professionals count the cost of losing Joseph Mensah

22 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout8 Mar 2027

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Andre Gyan left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout8 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Gladson Acquah

“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 ratings8 Mar 2027

David Inusah beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 12. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Looking ahead8 Mar 2027

A reunion for Desmond Obeng

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Aduana Stars in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Osman Kyereh is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Liberty Professionals

Mohammed Wakaso and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad5 Oct 2026

David Inusah 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.

Match3 Oct 2026

Liberty Professionals find a way past Heart of Lions

Heart of Lions made Liberty Professionals work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

One of those days for Gladson Baba

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.08, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Eugene Amankwah

“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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Thomas Gyan signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Thomas Gyan and Liberty Professionals agree another 1 years.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Andre Gyan, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nothing got past David Inusah

15 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

In brief
