11 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.
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.
Joseph Djiku 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.

6 goals in one match, Andrew Baba on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Liberty Professionals and Hasaacas.
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Andrew Baba. 4‑2 against Hasaacas, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Christian Schlupp 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.
“I watch every Liberty Professionals game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Hasaacas runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Andrew Baba was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.08. 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.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Liberty Professionals can pretend not to have heard.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Samuel Atiemo and Liberty Professionals agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Nana Partey has his answer from Liberty Professionals; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
