Player ratings

Kamaldeen Ofori runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

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

4 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.

Squad

Cristian Toledo 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 Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Gladson Appiah 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.

Match

Liberty Professionals come up short against Heart of Lions

Heart of Lions left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Abraham Schlupp

“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.

Squad

Gladson Adjei damages knee ligaments — 26 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 26 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.

Match

New Edubiase United take the points off Liberty Professionals

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Cristian Toledo 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.

Loan watch

Kamaldeen Atiemo wants to come home

“I did not go to New Edubiase United to sit and watch. I want to come back to Liberty Professionals and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Market

David Afful puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Liberty Professionals, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Liberty Professionals say no — this time

The offer from Bechem United for Bernard Baba 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.

Market

Victoria United join the queue for Jonathan Boateng

Add another name to the list: Victoria United have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Jonathan Boateng. The answer from Liberty Professionals has not changed — yet.

Squad

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Abraham Schlupp 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.

Squad

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gladson Appiah 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.

Squad

Patrick Kyereh 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.

Liberty Professionals turn down Kano Pillars for Jonathan Boateng

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
