  IF U WANT TO WIN TROPHIES. U MUST ANNIHILATE UR OPPONENTS IN 90MINUTES. NOT 120MINUTES OR PENALTIES. IF U WANT TO WIN THE BELT. U KNOCK OUT UR OPPONENTS, U DONT FIGHT THEM TO WIN ON POINTS...Asked if winning would be the main ...

  IF U WANT TO WIN TROPHIES. U MUST ANNIHILATE UR OPPONENTS IN 90MINUTES. NOT 120MINUTES OR PENALTIES. IF U WANT TO WIN THE BELT. U KNOCK OUT UR OPPONENTS, U DONT FIGHT THEM TO WIN ON POINTS...Asked if winning would be the main target, Grant said: “Of course. We know that it is a lot of team’s ambition to win, but we did so well in the last African Cup, we deserved the cup, we were better in the final, we didn’t take it because of penalties.”

  The Black Stars have qualified with a game to go at home against Rwanda. Grant should be adventurous and try to fix some the lingering problems of the team. I will rest Afful, Wakaso, Acquah and Jordan and play Amartey, Duncan, Partey and Assifua. And the game plan should be beating Rwanda convincingly, meaning by creativity and scoreline. He should shake up the team to communicate to the players that WC standard is the bar and that he expects more from them.

  You talk too much, Charlie. Don't think you know better than the coach. Only fools and those who know little about football will think the coach is not good. Shame on you.

  No need for the insults. What he said makes absolute sense. Creating competition makes players get better, and play better.

  I don't have to tell people about my football credentials to comment on the performance of a coach. The facts are all there on the pitch for everybody to see. Some of us have a low standard so they don't care about what they see and not worried about what they get for their money. I care about getting value for my money. Grant is paid a lot but he does very little. He takes us for suckers you know. A really high profile coach like him should do better. What sense does it make to sign a world class coach for mush more money and get the same performance from him. I'm not saying Grant is a bad coach. I'm saying he's shortchanging Ghanaians. Pay attention Joe. Watch your mouth too.

  Nyantakyi cant win afcon trophy: For Ghana to win Afcon, Grant must select players who have won Trophies either with club or country. The squad needs to be made up players with a mentality of winning trophies. Otherwise, forget it. We will come back home empty dumpty.... GRANT MUST CALL PLAYERS TO THE SQUAD WHO HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WINNING TROPHIES. WE NEED TROPHY MENTALITIES IN ORDER TO WIN MORE TROPHIES. IF U CALL PLAYERS WHO HAVENT HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WINNING ANY TROPHIES. U WILL ONLY BE MAKING YOUR GOAL MORE DIFFICULT N ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCOMPLISH. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. This monkey has been to 5 afcons and hasn’t found a way to win. Even minnows like Zambia have won the trophy. Wat a damn shame!

  U can't just set a target and hope u can win. That's the mentality of this football administration and that's why we keep losing alm the time. Preparation is tge key. Stop inviting mediocre players and work hard
