Marked for Brian Mulee

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Ernest Mohammed 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

Emmanuel Otieno 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 The request is on a desk at Nairobi United, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Brian Omondi keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Nairobi United may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Only the photograph left for Bernard Jairo

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Bernard Jairo will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Nairobi United the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match

A bad afternoon for Nairobi United against Muranga Seal

1‑2 to Muranga Seal, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Yusuf Mainge 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 Nairobi United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Nairobi United hit back inside 3 minutes

Muranga Seal held the lead for 3 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Nairobi United answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

Squad

Nairobi United count the cost of losing Brian Mulee

15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Victor Chemelil to a room that had heard them before.

In brief

Squad

The knee: Gad Mathews out for 34 days

34 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Nairobi United lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

Nairobi United end the wait against KCB

It had gone 10 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Market

Bernard Jairo has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Tempers go at Nairobi United

Prince Buregeya 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

Nairobi United find a way past KCB

KCB made Nairobi United work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Brian Mulee out for 43 days

The medical room confirms 43 days on the sidelines for Brian Mulee, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Mustafa Kizza

7.71, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Nairobi United had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad

Words at Nairobi United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yusuf Mainge 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

Victor Chemelil: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.
