Squad9 Aug 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bernard Djiku

34 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Liberty Professionals lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Real improvement from a squad player at Liberty Professionals

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. a squad player is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at Liberty Professionals

a squad player 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.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Daniel Afful 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.

Market9 Aug 2027

Inter Allies are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Liberty Professionals will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Transfer targets9 Aug 2027

Liberty Professionals try to borrow Mohammed Annan

BA All Stars have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Bernard Djiku damages knee ligaments — 88 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 88 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

Felix Asante: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Liberty Professionals have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

a squad player 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.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

Liberty Professionals rebuffed over Emmanuel Kyereh

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. WAFA have kept their man, and Liberty Professionals go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad21 Jun 2027

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals

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

Squad21 Jun 2027

a squad player stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” a squad player and Liberty Professionals agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Patrick Appiah breaks a bone — 49 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 49 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

Patrick Appiah says Liberty Professionals went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match27 Feb 2027

Liberty Professionals are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 7 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Words exchanged at Liberty Professionals

a squad player 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.

Match27 Feb 2027

Wa All Stars take the points off Liberty Professionals

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Edmund Paintsil is carrying Liberty Professionals

10 goals and a season average of 7.22. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

The dugout1 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 0‑2 Bernard Asamoah left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Baba Kudus 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.

The dugout1 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Baba Kudus

“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.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A fracture rules Patrick Appiah out for 87 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Liberty Professionals will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match23 Jan 2027

4 matches without a win for Liberty Professionals

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

Squad25 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

a squad player 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.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Mohammed Boateng out for 25 days

The medical room confirms 25 days on the sidelines for Mohammed Boateng, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match23 Jan 2027

Hearts of Oak take the points off Liberty Professionals

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

Squad25 Jan 2027

Daniel Afful 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.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Bernard Asamoah faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Bernard Asamoah after 1‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Gladson Sulemana

“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 ratings25 Jan 2027

Nobody could get near Edmund Paintsil

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
