The head coach of the national team has called on Liberians to exercise patience as he builds the national team.

Coach Frank Jericho Nagbe said the current Lone Star team has an effective strike force but
also has some defensive problems.

Coach Nagbe described the performance against Rwanda as excellent and said the team could achieve more once it holds together.

He also expressed frustration over the level of goalkeeping.

Coach Nagbe admitted that his defensive strategy broke down in the last fifteen minutes of the game.

He graded the strikers 100 percent but gave a lower mark to the defense.

The Lone Star said he plans to bring in quality defenders for the Cameroon game next March.


There were calls for the inclusion of George Gebro, Fallah Johnson, Chris Gbandi and Varmah Kpoto before the game on Sunday.

But Coach said he would begin to consider the options of the top class defenders.
