wish yall the best, mbesuma should come in as a super sub,

may our God grant renard the wisdom to pick the cream out of the available talent. May the best thump togo. Amen

I’m feeling good about this game. The squad looks good and will have ample time to train together before the big match. Can’t wait to follow the live updates on this site.

GO ZAMBIA !!!!!!

Lets kick the Togolese!

Mbesuma should start

who is reporting the truth about issac chansa,this site says his reported for camp,lusaka times says his team wont release him coz he has a thigh injury…….so somebody explain to me wuz poppin with guttuso.

the post also report that Isaac has not been released

I agree with the two guys just above me. LT reported that Chansa has not been released by his club. Zamfoot please confirm. Zambia will carry the day. My prediction 3-0. Although I would have loved to see Sinkala in this game.

Renard you have almost all the best players the country has and enough time to do us justice on 10th September. With every ones eyes on the ball, victory is definately certain.

Go Zambia! Go…….!

Renard’s lineup, someone sneaked into his diary and this is what he saw

Line up 1

——————–Mweene——————–

Davies—–Nchintu——Tana———-Musonda

Kalaba————Isaac—————-Felix

—————Christopher——————–

——–Jacob———-Mbesuma——–

Line up 2

——————–mweene—————-

Clive——–HH———–Tana——–Musonda

Jacob——–Kalaba——–Isaac———Felix

——–Mayuka————Christopher

Personaly I thnk Mbesuma should not hav been included,the chap doesnt even play @ Sundowns!Why pick him & leave out Sinkala who is active @ his club.There’s also Boyd Mwila who shld be given a chance 2 prove himself,the boy is scoring goals! Abash Mbesuma

looks beefy, good luck to Togo looks like they are in for hellfire barring poor team selection by Renard. HE should choose a team to work around their strongman and create the chances we need to take this game.

2-1 is my scoreline

GO GO Chipolopolo!

mbesuma should be be on bench, let the young man Kola start upfront with chris and jacob on the flanks in our 4-3-3 formation.

………………………mweene…………………………

clive………..chintu………..billy…………….musonda

………kalaba………chansa………Felix……

……chris………………………….mulenga/mayuka

………………………kola……………………………….

Tana is unfit and will only harm us against the likes of adebayor who is at the top of his game. thats a fact we saw it against swaziland and they scored us tho ref judged offside for the goal

lets be practical and face facts, Tana is not the experience we want.
Released from Sudan and benched even by our very own Nchanga Rangers!

Looks like no Gatusso for this game, why didn’t they listen and call Sinkala!! guess Noah will make it into the first 11 and in his natural midfield row. Its funny how in Zed soccer we always seem to have a big number of attacking midfileders but always very limited defensive midfilders. Mbesuma shud play about 15/20 minutes of the second half not a full 90 minutes. lets be part of the recovery programme to bring him back to match fittness. Mayuka and Jacob can swap around and Chris should siit just behind the two strickers.
Ba zambia iye!!!!!!! Ba Zambia chipolopolo!!!!!!!!

I also saw the report in the Post & on LT about Chansa but the Times of Zamb & Daily -mail both have reported that he arrived last evening with Mbesuma.The even interviewed him.
Though he says he has been carrying a thigh injury.That’s why we wanted A.Sinkala in the team cos if Isaac’s injury persists we might have problems with our midfield.This game is a final apart from Qualification
/3points there is a lot at stake .The team is playing for our Late President LPM & other pioneers of the Zambian game the Late Wilfred Wonani & the late Hubert Chime May their souls Rest in Peace.We can’t afford more tears come 16:00Hrs 10th Sept.

Nikolai why are you saying abash Mbesuma let the coach look at the player & access his fitness cos the football brain never dies.He may not have played for a long time but don’t be fooled the man is still deadly.The are football politics at his present club which have kept Mbesuma from the team,i am sure you won’t understand. By the way Nikolai Mbesuma is Zambian.

Jayda i feel Kola is still raw you saw for yourself when we played Swaziland & COSAFA.Yes he has scored during the last games but those were friendly games with amateur teams.When the “real sfuff” comes he seems to freeze.Otherwise he is a good player for the future.Personally if i was to choose between starting Kola or Mayuka i would go for Mayuka to satrt and Kola comes in as a sub.For this game no experiments please.

veep;
l feel the line up should be like this.

——————–mweene—————-

Nkausu——–Chintu ———–HH——–Musonda

Jacob——–Kalaba——–Isaac———Felix

——–Chamanga————Christopher

Noah should come in for either Jacob or Isaac in the second half ;Mbesuma , Kola or Mayuka in for Chamanga.

Sibs bro. forgive Nikolai. He doesnt know Mbesuma well.

Mbesuma is our golden boy so whatever he may have experienced is in the past we should support him and allow him to come on as a sub for the last 10 minutes.

Sibs, Kola is a wonderboy, yes there is no denying he was more than wasteful against the Swazis’ but he is the best goal getter we have at the moment.

He is yet to break his duck for the chipolopolo boys in the qualifiers but if anyone can score goals for Zed it is him.

i would go for Kola over Mayuka becoz i think Mayuka is less of a team player and without good supply is at best just an average player.

This is the only country that has sold her rights to watch even their own National Team,i hope we will not end up selling our own birth rights like Jacob in the bible.All the same good luck to the Team.

Abash Nikolai! as a matter of fact there are better brands of beer than nikolai. listern Nikolai u dont know mbesuma,wait en see mbesuma become our savior on sept 10.By the way how is monze NIKOLAI?

Ba zambia iye!!!!!!! Ba Zambia chipolopolo!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, I know wat am talking about. I have followed Mbesuma’s career from his Roan Utd days 2 CS Maritimo. I just feel this is NOT the game we should use 2 help him get his goal poacher instincts back! PLEASE lets not play NAMES. Viva Chipolopolo!!!

YES AMOS, IT AMUZES ME (RIGHTS TO WATCH OUR NATIONAL TEAM AT HOME THROUGH OUR BROADCASTING STATION) M/CHOICE WILL USE ZNBC EQUIPMENTS AND WE CAN NOT WATCH IT LIVE ON OUR SOIL

AM FLABBERGASTED

I think mbesuma should be in the starting lineup.The likes of kola mayuka should come latter on.

Nikolai thanks for your reply i appreciate your earlier contribution.Its good to know your have nothing personal with Collins.Yes lets not play names. Lets wait for the Coach’s final team he is the one with the players.I am sure he will access each player.

Jayda i noticed during the last game in COSAFA that Renard played Kola on the Right wing.Maybe he thought that the boy was not ticking as a Central Striker. Jayda are you a Zanaco supporter?.For me a striker has to score no matter the opposition not just weak opposition. Don’t get me wrong i am no saying one has to score in every game cos that’s not possible.But their some Strikers even when the haven’t scored the still create problems for the opposition defence and the able to hold the ball for other other supporting Strikers/Striker.
Any way lets agree to disagree we all see/analyze the game differently.
Cheers Guys.

Wait for Sept 10 and watch how Ntofo Ntofo will turn our mourning into a party. He is here to perform and that HE SHALL DO on that day.

Too bad we have to wait and only watch the recorded game. Games like this were supposed to be live on ZNBC. What’s with these guys kanshi? Club games efilyako not international games.

Go Zambia GOOOAAAAAAL!!!!

As deadly as Mbesuma is we simply canot shy away from the fact the guy is not match fit. He has not had game time for way too long for us to just take a gamble and throw him in a game of such magnitude. people we have to win this game, I think some people dont realise what not qualifying means, it means 2 years of no international football. If togo wins they are auutomatically through regardless of the swazi result,and with 4 points and only one goal to show for it there is a large likelihood we wont be one of the second best. A win in this game is a must, a definite, we really cant throw in a player with no game time. I say let the other boys play and Mbesuma will be a super sub regardless of the way things are in the last 15 minutes. He is good but lets be realistic, he has had no game 4 way 2 long.

NiKolai please we are not talking about Monze swallos here but the team for the whole nation. Sibs can`t believe you also addicted to this Nikolai.

Mbesuma is just one of the many strikers in the team you should not be just saying no to Mbesuma provide us with an ALTANATIVE other than the strikers who in your opinion is more derserving of a place in our National Team than Mbesuma.

Gntlemen MBESUMA HAS RECOVERED ,let the coach decide who to play on wednesday.He is a proven scorer at the highest level of international soccer and that is enough reason to give him a chance just like the other strikers have their own reasons to be considered.Why show so much dislike for your own zambian player who has saved this nation and made you smile before?What is the difference between him and Felix katongo’s situation?Lets encourage them!

Vincent Numbwa i still stand by what i said earlier & what i have been saying in the past that No one in Zed at the moment can match Mbesuma in terms of finishing,positional sense,shooting you name it the boy is a natural.Even at 80% he far much better than a lot of the strikers we have in the team.
Lets just wait & see what the coach comes up with but with out a doubt i know Collins will play on Wednesday & i know he won’t disappoint.

Zamfoot thanks for the Tip that Billy is still with the team.A lot of us wondered what had happened i think the Faz Media guy is messing up a lot in terms of Information .He was quoted in the papers saying Isaac might not come last time he gave wrong times for a Cosafa Match.

Sibs, i love Red Arrows and would have had Simon Lupiya in the squad if it were up to me but lets face facts.

in Swaziland Kola was more potent than Mayuka and he has the sense of position to be were the ball will land which is more than i can say for the others.

Mayuka like Jacob are better off on the flanks and yes Mbesuma is the best striker we’ve had since the the hey days of Kilambe and Milanzi.

If chansa is injured as they say, we might have to bring in a Holding midfielder from the back and only Tana can fill this role as there is no room for the elderly at the back.

I kind of like the way White playsd football and it was a shame to see him dropped

Jayda so you like Red Arrows. On Tana playing as a Holding midfielder i don’t know if he can last cos that position requires a player to run for the entire 90 minutes.One needs to track opposing Strikers & Midfielders as Mabbwana says well as support the midfield when we attack.

I agree with u SIBS ,Mbesuma even at his worse fitness levels would still be a better altenative than some of the young strikers that we have.Out of all the games that have been played the young boys still have not convinced at the highest level.Every one is putting too much pressure on the young boys.Mbesums will not disapoint!

Am also in support of the fans who are in support of the idea for mbesuma to start.The guy is fat for sure but his ability to score is very sharp.Remember how much we have suffered with our frontline evr since the guy was dropped.He doesn’t miss out anyhow like ceartain chaps.Let him play so that he can retain the lost glory.And for Tana,the guy deserves a place aswell.He knows how to hundle strikers without making silly mistakes.Moreover he is experienced with leadership skills.Am confident with the team will carry the day
