Marked for Kwame Kyereh

Uneasy
Match14 Nov 2026
10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Market16 Nov 2026
Kwame Kyereh hands in a written request
“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.
Squad16 Nov 2026
Afriyie Partey 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.

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kwame Kyereh 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 ratings16 Nov 2026
Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Match14 Nov 2026
It needed Christian Acquah to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Wa All Stars, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Successful dribbles: 51. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match7 Nov 2026
Two or more conceded in each of the last 6 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

A muscle injury sidelines Lucas Batatinha for 14 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Liberty Professionals will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Lucas Batatinha 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.

Kwame Kyereh 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.

1‑7 to WAFA, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

The boos come down from three sides
“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 7 of the 28 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.
Match17 Oct 2026
6 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.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Carlinhos 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.
Match17 Oct 2026
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Liberty Professionals and WAFA, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Beaten 7 times, with 1 saves for company. Goalkeepers carry these scorelines on their record whoever actually caused them, which is the quiet injustice of the job.

Emmanuel Asamoah is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 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.

Hasaacas left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Liberty Professionals, another week without a signature from Harrison Ofori.

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

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.

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Carlinhos. 1‑0 against New Edubiase United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Carlinhos stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.44 on the card, and the Liberty Professionals support went home talking about one name.

A 0‑3 beating by Inter Allies was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

The offer from Asante Kotoko for Harrison Ofori was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ernest Appiah has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

The bid was some way short and Liberty Professionals did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

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

The name of Abdul Atiemo has come up in conversations Liberty Professionals were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
