I have always said that Power Dynamos have no coach and no serious executive, So far 4 losses.
The problem with the Nkana coach is, he doesn’t know how to read the game, can’t use his player effectively, I feel they have better players than that useless Shadreck Malambo he likes using, what a fluke of a coach.
ZEGA need to have Percy/Tricky wingers to compliment the maturity of Lazy and Were. for now I doubt if they they will win anything this year
WHY ALWAYS BLAME THE COACHES.dO YOU WANT THE COACH TO BE TELLING WHEN TO SHOOT ,PASS OR DEFEND.tHE SAME COACH WAS SHOWERED WITH PRAISES WHEN HE WON UNDER20 COSAFA,AFRICA CUP AND THEIR OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AT THE WORLD CUP.PLEASE GIVE COACHES A BREAK!! WHEN YOU FLUKE DON’T PROJECT YOUR FLUKENESS ON OTHERS WHO ARE NOT!MUTASHA KALIKWISAYA!!
