I’m happy that the smiling assassin is back but pakuzowanza Scottland FC players muTeam yenyika, Michael Nees haana kupihwa chekuseri here apo.-Moyo @hillarygwan

I remember Knowledge Musona’s last games for the Warriors. He looked slow and lethargic. It’s a pity we haven’t replaced him but I don’t he still offers much.-Onson@OnsonMash
**
We know we say some players are more important but is it necessary to bring players back from retirement?
Given our position and chances to qualify for the world cup, why can’t we give these young players to be part of the squad and play in preparation of afcon?-Zero @Pinxo20001006
**
Wouldn’t care much that Scotland is dominating the numbers since they recruited from the other clubs, why do we have to bring back Knowledge when he was ✅. Can’t we just move forward and look to the future, it’s not like this team wins afcon, let’s set up to develop players now.-Mr Damba UX/UI Frere@mrdamba26334793
**
Why are they a lot of Scotland FC players?
Does this mean they are overall better than other players from other clubs?
If not, is there a selection bias from the coaching stuff?
The Zim PSL started just a week ago, how sharp and well trained are these players to handle a level?.-Zero@Pinxo20001006

Knowledge should be benched.
Shouldn’t be there in the first place.
Are we building a strong team for the upcoming years or we just playing a game at a time with no clear vision?.-Kenanzi DeE🖤@KensoH27

My 🐐 is back and I’m happy.. Thank you to whoever spoke to the Smilling Assassin kuti adzoke..Chirewa Musona Billiat panochohwa munhu.-Gushungo @Washington26026
