Mohamed Bangura alias Poborsky has critised the positioning of certain players in the Leone Stars team against Niger last weekend in Niamey in a 2012 African Cup of Nations group G qualifying match.
The Swedish-based striker who accounted for Leone Stars’ only goal in the match said some of the players were used out of position and that was one of the reasons why they lost 3-1.
“I'm disappointed that we lost and one of the reasons for the defeat was because some players were used out of position," said Bangura, adding that "It was also the main reason why I didn't score more goals. The supply root was cut off."
But Bangura who was in tears after the match refused to name the players who he believes were used out of postions.
He was however happy for scoring his first goal in his international career in his fourth appearance for Leone Stars.
