if only he can avoid making silly mistakes. By far he is among the best goal keepers in Africa.
the guy needs to improve .no more mistakes we need to win this time
he has more than two goals for freestate stars.correct me if am wrong, but i think for 2011 alone he had 3 goals.
i hear he is making big money in SA good for him
He talks alot confusing defenders at the back,in the process end up confusing himself. He should cool down and concetrate.
he is the best gooooooooooooooooo Mweene
27? not 14 years lol…
He has bad judgement with crosses though
He performed well. The most disappointing player was Chansa.
This guy is a quality player. In my opinion, he needs to be considered to captain the team.
HE IS STUPID. BECAUSE OF FEW AWARDS HE HAS RECEIVED THINKS HE CAN LEAVE THE GOAL POST AND BEGIN TO TACKLE WITH PLAYER. HE NEARLY MESSED UP! HE NEEDS TO SHAKE OFF HIS PRIDE OR HE WILL LEAD THE COPPER BULLETS NO WHERE GOOD BUT TO SHAME.
Let him make his own judgements. at times a keeper has to leave his Line.
We are behind you guyz
very sound keeper and looks like a good person to be around his the captain of freestate stars now thou he does makes silly mistakes like Etos goal in the Last afcon that went thru his legs …..his like Pepe rhena brilliant at some times but silly at others
How did you know his age?
Even his accent has started sounding South African.
Wishing him all the best. he should have a number of good defenders infront of him otherwise mistakes can occur at any given time :
)
We just do not have a choice. Last afcon he pushed Jeremy’s cross into the goal. Cameroun ended up beating us when were leading. When we were playing SA he went far off the line and a simple ship embarrassed us. One game at this tournament he handled the ball out side his area. Earnjed us a free kick and himself a yellow card. He is an overconfident tonga. I wish we had a choice.
No.17 @kci
Why do you have to go tribal every time? We cant just be Zambians for a moment?Â
He should handle all media questions for the team. This guy would even play in england and speak eloquently.
No. 17 kci, grow up! So what if tonga? The guy is just good
Kennedy iz a very resolute goal-keeper, who can give authority to the team if he were to become captain.
I think he talked too much to defenders and drained a lot of energy thus we allowed unnecessary goal. In another breath as a goalkeeper he is in a position to see how the ball is moving to advise defenders. It is not easy in such competitions. Renard went mad too at one point throwing down the water bottle. I thought he might be ejected from the ground. Good work Chipolopolo. I love you!!!
I think all those condemning Mweene do not just appreciate. He played extremely well especially in the second half when Senegal became dangerous. There is nothing wrong with him shouting if he sees that the defenders are not doing their work it is part of team work. Viva chipolopolo
the africa cup is the best tornament so far, am sure most brain washed zambians who watch the english premier league religiously ve seen the fine talent thats on the african continent unlike the EPL full of fluffers, medioca players with below average skills. Kennedy mweene is fit for superior leagua like serial A OR LALI LIGA. The british media is day in day out over hipping about epl fitakataka
The guy is beta than the man u goal keeper.
