  1. its like these players are busy warming the benches whenever they are and these are the guys we are trusting as our national team .

  2. No doubt Mayuka is finished! He failed in England, failed in France and now he is warning the bench in an African league.

    • Absolutely correct, all our players are warming up benches and this Mayuka, is really finished. Failed in England, France and now Egypt. He must pack his bags and get back to Kabwe Warriors, maybe his carrier could be rejuvanated. Too much pounds in his pocket, so he does not bother any more.

  3. How was Kennedy Mweene in action from the bench? It was his club in action naimwe ba LT.

  4. LT shud b categorical ! how can someone b in action wen he is warming d bench & in some instances does not make up d coach’s choice fo dat particular match .
