Damba highlights Ghana's goalkeeping problems

Ex-Ghana international goalkeeper Abukari Damba says the team’s current three gloves men do not fit the bill.

The 1992 Olympian backs his argument with the fact that three different goalkeepers have been used in last five of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Fatau Dauda began the series before dislodged by Aduana Stars goalkeeper Stephen Adams who was between the sticks for the matches against Togo and back-to-back games against Guinea.

Spain-based Razak Braimah was selected for last Saturday’s match against Uganda and was blamed for the goal conceded in the 1-0 reverse in Kampala.

“We have had challenges with this particular department for a period of time, it is very true that if anyone of the three goalkeepers had impressed they would have permanently stayed in post for the Black Stars,” Damba said.

“This tells you that satisfactorily they are not performing to the expectation of the technical team and as such have no choice than to keep rotating them.

“I don’t think this is good for us, the three keepers are on the same level but are not competitive enough.”
