How do go into a match with no creative midfielders? Do you know that you deserve a dirty slap? I am not a coach but I will not have started kwasi zibo and Thomas in my team

This coach is clueless and stupid. How do you expect a team to play a high intensity game when you went into the game with defensive mindset? Where is this coach from? Your midfield was as cold as ice water, and you misplaced your attacking options so how would you require a high intensity game from the team?

send my advise to the coach and staff:

In order for the Ghana Blackstars to return to their back-in-the-days performance where they were tough to beat. for the team to be a team to represent ghana at international stage....

YOU MUST BUILD THE TEAM WITH 80% LOCAL PLAYER from with Ghana premier league and 20% international players

the Defense, and attacking midfield should 70% reserved for the local players, then forward / sricker position made up of 30% international players

Also, stick to the same starting 11 wherever you go. not necessary to maintain the same substitutes. Let the same players player every game so they can correct themselves together each time. they reform and reaffirm.

why do you always start your games with 70%-90% new players. different goalkeeper, different defense, different striker??? your selection is already confused and so will your formation.

if you are not interested in using the local players, then use the same international players...call them same players for each game, be it a friendly or world cup level. they will understand themselves more better. they will know each others' ability, agility, and weakness. they will know when, where, how and why.

You go hunting with a complete different set of dogs or different combination of dogs, or different breeds and so your damn results will always be like this Austria 5:1 Ghana.

or having 20 different teachers to teach the same course and the same class...you will get a poor results in the end

maybe, go back and study the lines up of black stars from the 90s. watch the past games and learn when the same players were used. familiar faces among the team plays a key role.

Also, maintain the national, original jersey colour like many countries do. Tell me if i am wrong...ever since you changed the jersey from yellow to rando colours, the team has slowly gone down the drain. the spirit of the team died. go back and observe when the jersey was yellow. from the U17 to senior team, all main jerseys were yellow, Tony yeboah and Abedi's time....

if you love the team for the country, follow my teachings....

Otto Addo, you are right BUT YOU HAVE MAKE THEM THINK THEY HAVE TO PLAY WITH PURPOSE or ELSE! you need to be different to these players and let it reflect in your first 11 team. YOu as a coach HAVE to build TRUST and Commitment with some core players. Blackstars historically perform better under foreign coaches because foreign coaches approach the job with intensity, build a solid first 11 with shared understanding of commitment and do not CONDONE player over familiarisation as with their Ghanaian coaches. Learn from the African coaches of Senegal and Ivory Coast, they pick on every single error from the players or laxation with respect but not joke or ignoring! These players will not play with intensity for you by themselves.

So EVERY SINGLE CORNER KICK AND SET PIECE IS TAKEN BY JORDAN AYEW???? Even Semenyo, who is a star player for Manchester City, is not good enough to warrant ONE set piece????

Whoever needed to make "Money" for any work regarding this match has made it but GHANAIAN are always in "anguish" when it comes to this Black Stars team why?
They've SOLD all the positions of the team to their "CRONIES" see the BLACK STARS that we have now?

You always have something to say after every game which never reflects in the subsequent one. The fact is you are not good for the job. Even your choice of players depict it all. How can you make selection without central creative midfielders? The likes of Augustine Boakye, Majeed Ashimeru, Prosper Ahiabu and Frank Adjei Jnr are typical examples

Otto is just part of the problem.

There needs to be an investigation on how and why Otto was hired as our coach, when indeed he did not meet the criteria set up by the GFA for hiring a substantive coach. For a temporary/interim/fill-in coach, probably buy for a long term coach, NO WAY.

AMY SERIOUS COUNTRY WOULD INVESTIGATE.
