Augustine Arhinful, a former Ghana international, has urged Black Stars coach Otto Addo to make it a point in improving the team's performances in the first half during matches.
The Black Stars went through torrid times in the first half of their World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic.
Ghana fought from behind after going down at half-time in the two games but bounced back strongly after recess to secure back-to-back wins in those matches and boost their World Cup qualification chances.
"The two games that we played (vs Mali and vs CAR), we had two different halves. If I say two different halves, it means that in the first half, our performance is different compared to what we do in the second half," Arhinful told Joy Sports.
"In the future, I hope that we can begin with the second-half performance that we have observed in the last two games. Some of the countries, when we go behind it might be difficult for us to come back.
"Like the coach said, we should blame him for the performance of the first half; not that he made any mistake but he probably overthought what he wanted to do. So his approach in the first half has always been different compared to what we have in the second - in Mali, it happened and in Kumasi, it happened."
