Mr Alex Mould, a football enthusiast has given his verdict of the Black Star team that played Nigeria in the World Cup qualifiers game last Friday which ended in all zeros draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He believes the current youngsters are good to be maintained for the national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below is his comment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Old hands are overated. They will come and bring in Senior v Junior unless they will accept to be on the bench till 70th minute etc as they can not play 90 minutes up and down defending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muntari can not play instead of Kudus ; I guess maybe as a sub to Kudus if he has a bad game or injured or tired ;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jordan actually did well bar his disappointing corners and free kicks which need improvement; but he is the designated free kick and corner taker; I am sure we have a better alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He comes with experience but he is not a goal poacher and that\u2019s the problem – we believe that\u2019s his Key P performance I indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otto Addo, his coaches and technical team know better after this match<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a good selection , good Organisation, very compact, and the strategy worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nigeria is also a well coached team. They have bigger boys than we do and their defence is well organized<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our defence was excellent with Djiku and Amartey (whobis in his best form) andvtge full backs doing their part. We need to identify their weak spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My only observation is we play too central – we don\u2019t use the flanks as much – more of our play origination should be from the flanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would like to see the two wingers teaming off more with Kudus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe that\u2019s where Muntari can come in if Kudus has a bad day or gets tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kyere is an excellent planter and I think he wil start as he gives us more defence, which will be needed in Abuja, and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ensure fair based on expectations we came out better than the Nigerians who I am sure thought they could win – and the almost did bar for Wllicotts antics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abuja will be another game with a different strategy, I am sure. But this team is not a 6-0 team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a compact team that will rely on team work to achieve the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I don\u2019t know is their character – I don\u2019t know how good they are if they get unsettled by a goal agains them – Nigeria, the same!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s leave the Coach and the boys to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They want this win more than any of us I am sure – going to the WC comes once in a life time – maybe 2x.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So let\u2019s sit back and enjoy the BS that we have Ent seen play sooo good since about 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
