Ex-Black Stars Captain Joe Addo has lashed out at the technical team of the Ghana National team  for failing to work on the team's defensive  lapses which have been recurrent lately.

The Black Stars  failed to defend a set piece in a win against Togo on wednesday. The team again failed to marshall their defence in a corner against Uganda  in the penultimate 2015 Afcon qualifier in Kampala which resulted in the loss. Ugandan center back Savio Kabugo got his first goal in a competitive international after he headed past Razak Braimah in Ghana's goal.

The Black Stars have been guilty of  similar shambolic defensive displays in  recent games  against  USA at the World Cup , friendlies  against  Montenegro and Japan  and even in  2105 AFCON qualifiers against Guinea and Togo. Joe Addo who was a stalwart center -back during his days as a Ghana international told JOY Sports in an exclusive chat the technical team is culpable for defensive howlers.

"I feel sad  hearing that we have all these people working around the team. We have a technical team, video analyst, this and that. How come we are not able to remedy our mistakes? How come we are  not able to find the faults and fix them? these set pieces which are happening in goals ,happened soo many times at the World cup, you would have thought that we would have learnt from it by now but it happened again," the ex captain hinted.

The Black Stars have had a multiplicity of defensive partnerships since the long term  injury  suffered by Isaac Vorsah and the Unavailability of Ex Captain  John Mensah .Maritzburg United's  Awal Mohammed, Kayseri Erciyesspor's   John Boye and Evian TG's  Jonathan Mensah have had a look in lately but  it's the defensive  partnership of John Boye and Jonathan Mensah that has come under massive scrutiny for conceding  widely from set pieces. Joe Addo who scored two goals in 44 appearance for the Black Stars  however thinks their  highlighted flaws is  a reflection of technical team's  under performance.

"I don't  want to blame individual players ,it is a collective effort. It's from the technical body to playing body .When you repeat a mistake over and over  again its doesn't  tell me you are learning anything, I ask myself what are the Video analysts and technical doing to remedy it? "Addo said .
