Fans speak out

By Paul Onyango

Jamaa, as much as we are winning games, I think we are still strides of the mark. Tuanze na Goalkeepers: Arnold, the undisputed Kenya one is so far blazing hot. The question is do we have enough capability in replacing him? Noah Ayuko is a veteran between the bars and would bet my cash on him. Jacktone is an energetic volatile keeper who I would not bet on. I think he needs a little more time before he can be trusted with the jersey one.
Our fullbacks leaves a lot to be desired! Their inability to assist in attacks and when we are in possession is just frustrating to watch. John Njoroge is excellent at the left back and needs to be allowed to move forward oftenly. Kimani in the right fullback in my view is horrible. His defending is very poor and his attacking instincts are nowhere to be seen. I think the likes of Mulinge Munandi, Ibrahim Shikanda and Edwin Mkenya should be reconsidered. Why Shikanda was dropped, while he is one of the best fullbacks we have on the land leaves a lot to be desired for the coaching staff.
The central defence of Edgar Ochieng' and George Owino is so far so good. They need more games together to cement their coordination and standing positions and movements.
The midfield, manze!! Ok, MacDonald "Mr. Parma" Mariga is wonderful. Thats the much I can say of the midfield. Titus Mulama and Robert Mambo (Vice captain and Captain Respectively) are just not even showed us why they play in the pros. They should not be even in the camp, in my view. Where are the likes of Jamal "Malo" Muhamed, Ali Breik, Emmanuel Ake and Patrick Osiako?? Oyombe was an excellent inclusion in my view. My problem is where and how they will play!
Our attacking flanks are awful. Where is our width when we are going forward? Why force Mariga, Mulama and Mambo on the flanks while we have a natural Kevin "Kegan" Ochieng' on the bench? I think Kevin ought to play more frequently in the starting line up. Oboya is doing a wonderful job at the left wing when defending and assisting the attack but who is his replacement at the left attacking?
The attacking is Oliech, who so far is showing us why he is playing at Auxere. The boy is excellent hence "Obama, Odinga, Oliech" stadium hit song. The question is who will assist him? Who is his substitute? Allan Wanga should be incorporated in the line up to pair Oliech. I beleive their blistering pace will startle any defence in the world. I think the towering Ulinzi goal keeper turned striker Ochieng' should be incorporated in the squad. His size and agility will come very handy for the long aerial balls.
The most positive thing is that our substitutes bench, for once is working and our team is scoring and winning at home.
Kimanzi, Lets organize our team for the betterment of the nation and not only focus on Mathare United, now and previous players. We have good players kwa hizo team zingine pia.
All in all, tuko pamoja na support yetu uko nayo but tumakinike technical bench.
Lets go Harambee, Lets Go.....
