Former Ghana international Arhinful perturbed about Black Stars' scoring form

Published on: 17 June 2021

Former Ghana international Augustine Arhinful is concerned about the Black Stars' scoring form in their recent international friendlies.

The Stars failed to score in their two friendlies against Morocco and Ivory Coast, losing 1-0 and drawing goalless respectively.

This has raised lots of questions about the quality of the striking department as the team's leading striker Jordan Ayew scored only one goal in the 2020/21 season for Crystal Palace.

"It is a source of worry if we are not scoring goals. If you have to win a game then it means you must be scoring. Is it really an issue of striking? Don’t you think it's probably because of the strategy or format we are planning?" Arhinful quizzed.

“How is our striker supposed to score if he doesn’t get the support? We are not creating enough, maybe because of the format we are planning? We need to look at those things. Are we lacking strikers or a complete team play that will result in bringing in the goals?

“We are not creating the chances in the game for the strikers to score. We need to find the best position for some of these players to play a system that will enable us to score. Everybody must be allowed to play and we have to be concerned about how the team is playing on the field as well."
