Coach CK Akonnor has been offered advice by 2010 World Cup star Prince Tagoe concerning the Black Stars\u2019 scoring woes.<\/p>\n
Former Ghana striker Prince Tagoe believes the Black Stars will need a tactical switch of formation to overcome their poor performances in front of goal in recent times.<\/p>\n
The four-time African champions have struggled to find the back of the net in their last few games, having scored just once in the last four.<\/p>\n
Although coach CK Akonnor has occasionally played with two strikers up top, the team has mainly used a system with a lone frontman, as was evident in their 1-0 away defeat to South Africa in the\u00a02022 World Cup qualifiers on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have our style of play that suits Ghanaians, and I think if they should take the 4-4-2, it will help us,\u201d former Hoffenheim striker Tagoe, who represented Ghana at the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations and 2010 World Cup tournaments, told\u00a0Luv FM.<\/p>\n
“We need two strikers that will help us to get goals because if you are playing only one top, it\u2019s difficult. That\u2019s the main problem I can see with the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to go back to our old 4-4-2 that we used to play, and that will be much better because if you put only Jordan [Ayew] at the top, he alone cannot score, so we need typical two strikers up front, and the other people can operate from the wings.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the absence of Crystal Palace man Jordan Ayew in Monday\u2019s encounter with South Africa, brother and team captain Andre\u00a0led the line in what was a disappointing day at the office at Johannesburg\u2019s FNB Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are some of the things we need to look at because if you put Dede [Andre] as a striker, he will find it difficult because Dede is not a striker,\u201d Tagoe added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Dede is playing behind the striker, it\u2019s perfect, but if you put him as a striker, you are killing the team because if he gets the chance, he will score, but he is not a striker to move into certain spaces as a striker will do to finish.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jordan has been Akonnor\u2019s preferred striker but on occasions when the coach opted for two men up front, the 28-year-old was mostly joined by brother Andre.<\/p>\n
