THE LEOPARDS

It is said that in football, everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team. I bet this has been the experience of AFC Leopards since the beginning of Tusker Primier League season.

The Leopards have had the worst starts in the league. Sometime back, they dreamnt fire, winning all matches and dwarfing all teams that came their way. Last weekend's win against Ulinzi stars aside, things will never be the same again as their current form has made it hard to convince any fan that upcoming matches are going to be any better.

Coach Eymael is currently inducing a new kind of play at AFC Leopards. The antics involve quick passes and movement of the ball, quick reflections and decision making. Leopards, however, have one of the worst concentration records in the league. You look at how they fell to Gor the other day and wonder what really transpired. Having failed to utilise the numerous chances in the entire game, Leopards crumbled like the Berlin wall.

As I reflect over last week's 1-0 Leopard's win against Ulinzi stars, I would say that victory is portrayed in continuous performance, not a one-time show of prowess.
