Squad

A day Patrick Mohammed will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match

Liberty Professionals make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Liberty Professionals have 3 straight wins of it.

Market

Only the photograph left for Andrew Wakaso

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Andrew Wakaso will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Liberty Professionals the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Words exchanged at Liberty Professionals

Eric Oteng 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.

Squad

Real improvement from Yaw Partey at Liberty Professionals

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Yaw Partey is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Liberty Professionals get the job done against Heart of Lions

A 3‑2 win over Heart of Lions, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Patrick Mohammed was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.45. 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.

The dugout

Samuel Baba has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Samuel Baba on a 3‑2 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Squad

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals

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

Market

Thomas Appiah 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.

Market

Only the photograph left for Andrew Wakaso

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Andrew Wakaso will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Liberty Professionals the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at Liberty Professionals

Patrick Mohammed and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals

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

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Kwame Owusu

“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.

Looking ahead

Looking ahead: Inter Allies at home

A side in position 13 visits next. The result will not make anybody’s season and it could quietly break the shape of one, which is why the manager has been watching the video since Sunday.

Market

Yaw Partey asks to leave Liberty Professionals

“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.

Market

Liberty Professionals say no — this time

The offer from Inter Allies for Bernard Owusu 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.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Onochie Chukwu rejects the move

Liberty Professionals had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Bendel Insurance, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Patrick Mohammed stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Patrick Mohammed and Liberty Professionals agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A falling-out at Liberty Professionals

Patrick Mohammed and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Anthony Cletus

Liberty Professionals asked and Bendel Insurance said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Patrick Djiku 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

Mustafa Yahaya is a square peg at Liberty Professionals

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout

Patrick Mohammed knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Liberty Professionals, and both men came out saying it was fine.
