Kotoko head coach David Duncan was surprisingly calm after his side’s 3-1 defeat at the hands of Liberty Professionals.

The former Hearts boss was at his sarcastic best last Wednesday when he provided monosyllabic answers to journalists after his Kotoko beat Olympics.

But on Sunday, he was open to questions following Liberty's dominating display. He passed the blame on to his players.

"We could have won the game if we were a little bit more disciplined and kept to the some of the basic principles of the game," he told Joy Sports.

"I can’t elaborate on that but if you can afford to give away a goal like that after taking the lead against a side that has made this place a fortress, definitely they will bounce back in confidence.

"And anything at all can happen there after and that’s exactly what happened."

The defeat has seen Kotoko slip to 10th after claiming just three of a possible 12 points in the second round of the First Capital Plus Premier League.
