Player ratings

Nobody could get near Emmanuel Annan

Successful dribbles: 39. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Daniel Partey has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around WAFA they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Yaw Mensah 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 terraces

WAFA supporters have found a favourite in Abdul Adjei

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Abdul Adjei has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

Harrison Ayew 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 WAFA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Kwadwo Asante

“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.

In brief

  • Match Point won or two lost for WAFA?
  • Squad When it matters, Amos Kyereh plays
  • Market The window shut and Kwadwo Asante is still in the building
  • Boardroom The WAFA board put their names to it

Nobody could get near Emmanuel Annan

Successful dribbles: 42. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Chastening afternoon for WAFA

A 1‑4 beating by Wa All Stars was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Thomas Gyan at 19 — 7.88

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Thomas Gyan did not need any: 7.88, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Abeiku Essien 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 WAFA can pretend not to have heard.

Boardroom

Inquest at WAFA

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Market

The Daniel Partey conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Hasaacas will make the call about Daniel Partey this week. WAFA have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

In brief

Squad

Jeffrey Waris breaks a bone — 90 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Abeiku Sulemana runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Real improvement from Amos Kyereh at WAFA

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

Squad

Tempers go at WAFA

Abdul Adjei 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 WAFA training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yaw Mensah 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.

Match

WAFA see off BA All Stars

Three points for WAFA, 2‑0 the final word against BA All Stars in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Emmanuel Annan in the eights

A performance of 8.30 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market

The Baba Inusah question follows WAFA around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Baba Inusah’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Player ratings

Off the bench and decisive: Christian Ofori

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. WAFA were going nowhere until he came on.
