…as Gabeya is dropped
Malawi national football team mentor Ernest Mtawali has made three changes to the squad that lost to Tanzania in the 2018 FIFA World Cup preliminary first leg qualifier on Wednesday last week at Benjamin Mukapa National Stadium.
Malawi conceided two quick goals in the first half and if they are to sail through, they must score more than the said goals without conceding.
Upon arrival at Chileka International Airport on Thursday, the mentor admitted that his charges were below par in the first half but was quick to point out some positives in the second half in which several chances were created.
The former Flames midfielder deployed Miracle Gabeya in defense, with Chawanangwa Kaonga playing as the lone striker.
But according to our findings, Kaonga, Gabeya and Robin Ngalande have all been deployed to the bench, with John Lanjesi, Gabadinho Mhango and Chiukepo Msowoya all set to start for the wounded Flames. Micium Mhone and John Banda will operate from the wings, with Gerald Phiri Jnr and Chimango Kaira playing in the middle of the park.
Lanjesi will partner Limbikani Mzava with Stainley Sanudi and Yamikani Fodya playing as the left back and right back respectively.
Below is the full starting eleven:
Goalie:Simplex Nthala
Defenders: Stainley Sanudi -Limbikani Mzava -John Lanjesi -Yamikani Fodya
Midfielders: -Micium Mhone -Gerald Phiri Jnr -Chimango Kayira -John Banda
Forwards: -Chiukepo Msowoya -Gabadinho Mhango .
The match kicks off at 2:00 pm this afternoon.
Victory for either side will set up a clash against the Desert Foxes of Algeria in the second preliminary round next month.
Malawi24 will provide live text feeds and updates of the match.

Still not happy with simplex pliz next time humble yourself coach and recall chipuwa. Chipuwa is the goalie of the moment.
Galu amanyada pakwawo ndiye osadanda, tituluka titawina 1_0
Koma g.keeper salibwino. Bola Harawa.
Timayikondabe ngakhale amangotigaza.
The sqad looks ok on paper.
I have my own reservations with Gerald Phiri junior, bola Kaliati. Komanso Meciunyo bola asamamuthawe wa kuTP Mazembe uja otherwise apweteketsanso madefender lero.
That’s a good line up, but I still doubt about Chiukepo’s fitness. He is just coming from an injury. Anyway, the coach knows best.
Bola apapa line up ikupatsako chiembekezo!!!
Ndadziwa akuopa kuthamangitsidwa waiwelenga mochedwa ulendo ulipo basi
winayi akapitilize ntchito yake ku Bullets
Koma a galuwo atithandiza kapena tizingowa dandauladandaula?
Kod mwaikaposo nthara pa goro? ha ha ha ha!!
kusimidwa kwathu kumeneko nanga akaswili ampila tikatenga kuti?
4 players out of eleven mateam awo sakusewera and performance yomwe awatengera ku national team adasewerako kale .Simplex, Mhone , junior and Gaba chomwe adawatengera ku flames sindikuchidziwa off course ndi maplayer abwino koma ku maclub awo sakusewera. Mhone and junior akudikira work permit pomwe Gaba adali pa injury and Simplex ali pa suspension .And I don’t think we will win ndi selection iyi #Ng’oooooooooooo
kukhala mmalawi mkulimba mtima
gooooiialllllllll!!!!!! taifa stars 2:malawi 1….. agoall from .bwana samata……
Chilima amenye pa 9,mutharika pa goal
Zilibwino bola osafoka
malawi down by 1 _0
freedom of speech…whether u expect or by chance nor custigation….Flames will carry the day…no mistake for me in 1st eleven…1st half will manage to score ..2nd ndiye tiipheratu akazangolowa Chester. Big Up Live Wire!!
zili bwino tiwina lero
Ili bho
Gabadinho always fails Flames and Malawians. He is not a national team material.
Ili bwino mbuyomu timaluza achinawo ali mmomo.

Bt yamikan fodya akumachere kwa mfana wakuline ya taifa, bt team ili boh. Al de best
#fodya out
Thats ok because of Yakubu and Gaba, but where is Gabeya plz?
Bro Gabeya ikhayo usayankhure anthu akunyoza nazo
Mayaz bro! mwana uja amatha,kodi ndi player uti yemwe sanapalepo pa game? Amene sanalakwepo andi Gende
Would you PLEASE give me a vivid knowledge of the Line-up, Radio 2, Mij and Ufulu Fm respectively line-up is different with this I’m reading here! I heard Gabeya has maintained his position and front line Yes Chiukepo but excluding Gaba instead Shumaker Kuwali to start? Which is Which?????????
twinga
poor line up! mungotuluka coz mungotithera ndalama zathu.
Bettr, go mtawali go flames en consume the tanzanians
It is good,hope we wl upset th tables.
Ooooooh ngat d ndichikonzero canu conyoza anthu ngat Fiscer,lowesan Mutharika ndi Chilima basi
My worry is that Gaba is just recovering having been injured for so long. He has never played competitively.
Msowoya is also coming back from injury. He isn’t that fit. We have young strikers the innocent Bokosi and others. We could have tried these
Yes thy are gud bro,bt Bokosi and others are super league materials cant stand th hit ku flames.we wantd manase chiyesa did he perform ku Tz?
That was one off game. We need strikers that score goals and it is only Malawi that can ignore a top goal scorer in its league by not including him in the national team. We take a goal keeper who is suspended for a long period in his Mozambican league. Really? To me we just don’t have the mentality to win. Not at all
this is very impressive first eleven,,,but it will depend,if starting eleven ya the Taifars ngat ili weak,but i dont have hope that we can pull down the Tanzanians today,,,Malawi win today but the goals will be below 2,Flames keep on fire burning
The team is imcomplete without the Kamwendos, Ng’ambis etc
Just wishing dem de best though nothing will change am behind Taifa stars
Hahahahaha,,with nthala on goal i think my team tanzania will win by 3 goals to nothing,,,,,,kkkkkkkkkkk
Remove Sanudi for Zonda….but all the same its already too late mr coach…
Gaba or game samamenya paka athamangisalo aliku division bench,chiukepo sanachile koma mukumu user why malawi eish tapangani zithekezo basi
Thats a good squard more fire flames.
all the best ma flames, remember scoring three goals its a must.
0 all draw
Tikuwina lero
ahh this is a bad lineup how come playing the number 9’s at the same time argh Chiukrpo bench or Gaba bench We should’ve use Ngalande or Gerald as our number 10
nanga ng’ambi
Pagolopo kodi chipuwa alikuti? Nthala ndimbola mukubwerezaso yemweyo? Ntawali ngosava pagolopo musintheeeeeeee
Sindikuipatsa mpata lineup imeneyi.Enawa sakuyenela kuyamba
Where were the 2 strikers whn TZ beat us 2 nil?…am angry
Why Gaba?????
Malawian players amaganiza za mpira sukulu ikawakanika no wonder the national team suffers and yu blame the coach why not the players???
Earnest Mtawali must be making strong consultations about developing football in Malawi.
Ife ndikulimba mtima kwathuku tingoti all the best flames..nanga tingathawilekt tinabadwa a malawi..team ndiyathu iyi olo m’mangotikhumudwitsa
Go Tanzania go

Gaba & Chiukepo amannvvana bwino ndi FISHER.
Kuxogolo kuli manyaka zokhazokha bolako akanamutenga inno Bokosi

koma anakangotenga team ya bb chifukwa ndiyo team ya Malawi zinazi zimango tipweteketsa mtima
sha…bullets national team mmmmm yah mudziona….ali kuti ng’ambi, Kamwendo and kanyenda mmmmm kaya zanu izo.
Flames has more things to be mended and that can’t be changed an overnight. In this game we are going in with a two goals deficit,it will be very difficult for us to progress due to luck of technical expertise. We can concede an early goal due to the tactics we use. The Taifa stars knows it very good that we are looking for an early goal,they can haunt us through counterattacks. So tactically we are already poor,we just lose balls anyhow. I don’t see Malawi progressing to the next stage this afternoon.
Koma defence yikundikayikisa,bagio akundiwawa
Upipo ure coments rnot constractive. we r all Malawians, kodi mukufuna amenyese inu?
Sukunama aise, olo anyoze but we are still Malawians, after all some of the senior players are past their prime, tisakambepo za Essau or Kamwendo amenewa angotsala mayina and they are no longer national material m
This line up can’t win against these #TaifaStars
Koma pa golopo
Ma striker onsewo samatha kumaka.
Adakayamba wati memory?
Manase Chiyesa and Chiukepo #Ridwan
I don’t think that this is a vibrant squad that can give us a much awaited win, but let’s give them a benefit of doubt.
Wacheledwa coach wa frames ife a Taifa stars tingova kukoma
Dnt worry lero akuswani 1yokha basi. Ine nde singabese ndalama yanga zaziii zanuzi
Atumbukaso achulukamo mupaka 5
Atleast nw. O the best
gud bt goalkeep akukayikisa
I think its alright
Malawi 2-1 Tanzania
akutibuleninso 2 nil mpamene muziwire kt ndimanyaka a lineup
no goal keeper there
i have never been a football coach myself, but the names all sounds malawian.
all the best! may we score 3 goals to zero!
