\nA perfect case of a team of individual players in disarray, the visitors lacked mental sharpness and instead booted the ball around and kept the round object where they needed not to, culminating into the goal conceded.
\nThe players in yesterday\u2019s mediocre display are all starters at their respective clubs abroad and this should spare the coach of sticks from those in the habit of fingering him for blames.
\nLike all tacticians, the onus of erecting a solid team is the gaffer\u2019s but the zeal to penetrate the adversary and scoring is solely the players\u2019.
\nThe Scorpions cut desolate over pampered figures who truly never wanted to be there. From simple touches to initiation of attacks, it all was in shambles.
\nSome seriousness only showed in them when Morocco-based Muhammed Badamosi got thrown in the mix in the final minutes as Gambia later equalised.
\nFormer Real de Banjul attacker Badamosi would prove a thorn in the throat of opposition defences each time he comes on provoking the question why he gets overlooked.
\nHe was the most impressive from the unprepossessing recital along with the workaholic Assan Ceesay from a blizzard of players with zero determination.
\nGambian players have long decried lack of support from home fans, who, by all accounts, have increasingly grown disenchanted and have right to.
\nThe truth though is no one adores being associated with frequent defeats, in Gambia\u2019s scenario a habitual wanton.
\nGambian players need to give themselves a long hard look especially now they have just the Afcon to fight for, which by recent indications, look in danger too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
