Goalkeepers Trainer, Joseph Carr has dived to the defence of his charges, Isaac Amoako, who has come under supporters’ and media attack after conceding what has been described by some fans as an unfortunate goal in Wednesday’s week 20, Glo Premier League match against New Edubease United at Bekwai.

 

Kotoko took the lead in the 25th minute through Alex Asamoah but Ibrahim Moro equalized five minutes later, with a splendid long shot which many expected the Kotoko goaltender to save, given the long distance from which the shot was fired.

 

Most of the supporters were angry at the goalkeeper’s performance. Isaac Amoako himself looked disappointed after the goal.

 

In a post match interview, Joseph Carr admitted that his lad could have done better in the situation. He was however quick to add that there was no need lambasting the goalie especially when he has been spoken to.

 

Joe Carr added that Amoako’s ‘no show’ in Sudan during Ghana’s participation in the CHAN tournament has affected him.

 

“You know that he was out of camp for sometime because of the CHAN tournament. Even there, he was not active. We have been working seriously on him since he came. We believe things will be fine soon. We know him, we know he is good. So people should not worry,” said Joseph Carr who disclosed that Burkinabe goalie, Soulama Abdoulaye cannot feature for the club until his work permit, which is currently being renewed has been granted.
