‘These boys can do it’ – Mould asserted

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.

He believes the current youngsters are good to be maintained for the national team.

Below is his comment:

“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.

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 ;

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.

He comes with experience but he is not a goal poacher and that’s the problem – we believe that’s his Key P performance I indicators.

Otto Addo, his coaches and  technical team know better after this match

It was a good selection , good Organisation, very compact, and the strategy worked.

Nigeria is also a well coached team. They have bigger boys than we do and their defence is well organized

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.

My only observation is we play too central – we don’t use the flanks as much – more of our play origination should be from the flanks.

I would like to see the two wingers teaming off more with Kudus.

Maybe that’s where Muntari can come in if Kudus has a bad day or gets tired.

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.

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.

Abuja will be another game with a different strategy, I am sure. But this team is not a 6-0 team.

It’s a compact team that will rely on team work to achieve the results.

What I don’t know is their character –  I don’t know how good they are if they get unsettled by a goal agains them – Nigeria, the same!!

Let’s leave the Coach and the boys to it.

They want this win more than any of us I am sure – going to the WC comes once in a life time – maybe 2x.

So let’s sit back and enjoy the BS that we have Ent seen play sooo good since about 2014.
