“Yes we have a goal scoring problem”, he said. He also said that prior to the tournament, their main two striker suffered knocks that ruled them out of the tournament. “Jane and captain Elizabeth Addo were the only two strikers left. Jane is the only potent striker among the two but she has not got power. But that is not her fault. We all know she had a problem earlier on after being hospitalized. We initially ruled her out and now she up and we have to encourage her.”

“Elizabeth Addo is also not a potent striker and she likes to strike behind the striker. Yes we have a problem with scoring. We create so many chances but fail to score and that is not the problem of the coach. We are however working on them” he added

The Black Queens play Cameroon on Friday and will have to beat them and hope Algeria draw or beat Mali to ensure their qualification to the next round.
