The terraces

Anger at Liberty Professionals spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Liberty Professionals

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Liberty Professionals is running low.

Squad

A move Emmanuel Kotei would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Emmanuel Kotei is living that version at Liberty Professionals, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

The step up is real for Kwame Waris

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Kwame Waris 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

Late improvement for Andrew Acquah

At 24 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

The dugout

No hiding place for Baba Sulemana

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

Market

A long bet from Liberty Professionals on Joseph Afful

He is 20, and nobody at Liberty Professionals signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Liberty Professionals

Position 16 and 16 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Squad

Abraham Adjei stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Market

Francis Djiku 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.

Match

The wait goes on for Liberty Professionals

7 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Andrew Acquah 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Liberty Professionals against Asante Kotoko

2‑3 to Asante Kotoko, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Squad

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abba Musa 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 dugout

Amos Afful faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Amos Afful after 2‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Match

10 matches without a win for Liberty Professionals

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around Liberty Professionals are no longer polite ones.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Liberty Professionals

1‑5 against Aduana Stars, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

Baba Sulemana keeps Liberty Professionals in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Andre Asamoah 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.

Match

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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Liberty Professionals

Andrew Acquah 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.

Match

6 goals as Liberty Professionals and Aduana Stars go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Liberty Professionals and Aduana Stars, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nzube Chukwurah 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 dugout

The manager makes an example of Abba Musa

“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

A fracture rules Abraham Essien out for 49 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.

Squad

Kwame Waris 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

Samuel Waris is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 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.

Transfer targets

No deal for Adams Sanut at that price

Liberty Professionals offered $68.0K; Bechem United said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Isaac Atiemo

Liberty Professionals asked and WAFA 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

Ernest Baba 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.
