  What are you talking about? Where are your wingers. Where are your 8,9 and 10 players? NO defence is unbreakable. You need to apply the right strategies and employ players. You need to teach these wingers how to be effective at getting the ball down thebwings and into the 18. You need to teach the 8 and 10 to.rotate around the #9 and work for him and also dribble into the 18 and shoot on target. You need to teach the 9about positioning in and around the 18 box at all times. How did kotoko end up with these players if they are lukewarm or not up to par? Teach these players to play 2/3 touches and be a big brother to these players. Get them to watch teams in brasil and see how energetic and hardworking, simplified their approach is to winning games. Make lemonade with lemons and do the best you can with what you got and stop giving excuses. Werent you the same person who said kotoko had the best players in ghana? Now, listen to you

  Duncan started his coaching work at Kotoko as if he possessed some magic wand. Kotoko management also bought the idea. As fate would have it, Kotoko got good results in the initial matches under Duncan: 2 wins and a promising draw in a CAF champions' league away match in Algeria. The propaganda went high and the fill-the-stadium-for-Duncan campaign was on. Suddenly, the faith of Kotoko supporters got revived and the stadium was filled to the brim against the Algeria team. That was when Kotoko was taught reality check - they were beaten and eliminated in front of their highly expectant teeming fans. After shouting to the skies that the best players in Ghana are all in Kotoko, now he is admitting the inadequacy of his players. He must have learned his lesson to become such humble.The lesson is that: it is possible to use propaganda and euphoria to get good results in a shortwhile but not over a period of a whole season.

  Duncan praises Toure
  Kotoko coach David Duncan has praised striker Ahmed Toure's instincts since he took charge.
  The Ivorian got three points for the Kumasi side through "a striker’s goal" in their First Capital Plus Premier League game against Liberty Professionals on Sunday.
  Ahmed Toure was on target for the fifth time this season.
  "The goal he scored was an opportunistic one because that is what strikers are meant to do or expected to do," Duncan reflects.
  Kotoko managed to hold on to their goal advantage throughout the game as Liberty fought hard to at least earn a point from the game.
  Duncan's impact drew a big crowd to the Baba Yara Stadium as he recorded his first home win and continued his unbeaten run since taking over the team last month.
  “You might see it as a goal that was taken easily but many strikers will squander opportunities like that so credit to his predatory instinct.
  “I must say it was a great game and my players did so well to hold onto the goal.”
  Kotoko have now moved to fifth with 19 points on the league standings.
