Fatau Dauda wants to remain Black Stars number one
By Patrick Akoto
Ghana goalkeeper Fatau Dauda says he’s determined to establish himself as the most dependable goalkeeper for the national team.
The Ashantigold shot-stopper marked his full competitive debut for the Ghanaians as they drew 2-2 with the Democratic Republic of Congo in their opening group B game in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in Port Elizabeth.
Despite failing to keep a clean sheet at the Nelson Mandela Bay, the 27-year-old was satisfied with his performance and says he focused on holding on onto the position.
“I am very happy with my performance. I don’t think I did badly but obviously disappointed we couldn’t win,” Dauda said
“I want to keep working hard to ensure I remain in post.
“All the goalkeepers in the team are special but at the end of the day, only one person will get the chance to man the post.
“I will just keep working hard to ensure I get the chance to be in post all the time.
It appears the former Okwahu United goalie has taken over from Adam Kwarasey and also the safest pair of hands between the sticks.

FATAU PLAYED WELL. HOWEVER, I WAS SURPRISED HE COULDT READ THE BODY LANGUAGE OF THE DR CONGO PENALTY KICK TAKER. Mbonkan LOOKED OVER TO HIS LEFT 3 TIMES BEFORE HE TOOK THE PENALTY. SO U HAVE TO KNOW THAT HE WILL SHOOT RIGHT, AND HE DID. FATAU MUST LOOK FOR SUCH BODY LANGUAGE SIGNS AND HE MUST KEEP HIS EYE ON THE BALL. IF U CAN SEE THE BALL, U CANT GRAB IT.
master keep quite if u think u re doing well u re not there yet kwara is far better than u nd stupid appiah just want to market u……..nonse…..u shd ve done better…with de through ball.
YURI, U ARE A FOOL. DID U WATCH AFCON 2012. DID U WATCH ADAM DURING THE FREINDLY AGAINST TUNISIA? FATAU PLAYED WELL AGAINST DR CONGO. ADAM WOULD HAVE ALLOWED SOME GOALS THAT FATAU CLEARLY SAVED, TRUST ME. THE GH DEFENCE WAS BULLSHIT. THE FIRST GOAL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH FATAU, BUT THE DEFENCE FROM DEREK BOATENG TO BOYE…USELESS MARKING
ALL I WANT TO TELL FATAU IS THIS.
1. BE AWARE OF THE BODY LANGUAGE OF YOUR OPPONENTS AND REACT OPPOSITE
2. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL. IF U CANT SEE THE BALL. U CANT SAVE IT.
Fatau is a gr8 gollie. No crosses beat him…and u know clearly that Kwarasay cant deal with aerial balls.
There’s work to be done, but Datau appears a better gollie than Kwara
Look this short man.I mean do you think you are good? Shege you couldn’t even use your leg to drive Tresor Mputu’s first goal to corner,you better shut b4 people will sart suspecting you.
d@ is true nd he blowing is own tranpet…..his gud as for gh fuo u re big fool 2012 goal d@ kwara concided re purly mistke from his defenders…..nd u want to compare so call dauda to kwara…..u better shut up.
Some of you just watch football like you arye watching a play station game.AFCON 2012,Ghana vrs Guinea,cast your mind back to that shambolic performance of Kwarasey when he allowed that long cross from the right to beat him.just look at how he allowed those cheap goals against Tunisia.Apart from the friendly against Brazil,Adam hasn‘t been impressive.His timings are sometimes bad.Those who are blaming Fatau should go and watch the goals again you will realise he couldnt have saved that Mputu flick about 8 yds from the goal line.The defenders are to be blamed from allowing those one two passes of the Condolese before the goal was scored.
