  You would have thought Haiti was playing against Germany in the second half. That is how bad we played against Uganda. I said to myself that: (1) Uganda was extremely good, or (2) our players were playing nonchalantly, or (3) our coach simply lost the plot. Unless we improve in a very significant manner, the road to the cup final is very bleak.

  Congrats for the 3 points. But you need to work on the shooting, finishing and crossing. . I think you should also consider deploying new persons at the wing backs especially on the right. May Mother Luck continue ...

  Congrats for the 3 points. But you need to work on the shooting, finishing and crossing. . I think you should also consider deploying new persons at the wing backs especially on the right. May Mother Luck continue to smile on you and the lads.

  Yes I agree on the wing back comment. Harrison Afful made a silly mistake due to his momentary lack of concentration and it nearly resulted in goal to Uganda. Such a mistake against our next opponents could be fatal

  Analysis: unintelligent players (gh vs. Uganda )
  Nyantakyi should tell us why he has refused to secure insurance for playefs of national teams. Always using unforseen player injuries to collect heavy bonuses. Research shows that heavy bonuses does not influence performance.
  1. Grant is not a good coach. His starting lineups, choice of subs are weak and he is incapable of dispensing corrective advice to the players off the bench.
  2. Braimah sucks! Everytime the ball goes at him I'm finnin to get a heart attack. Look, right after rahman got subbed and Uganda got a fastbreak on the left. Braimah was completely beaten. The Uganda player didn't shoot accurately on net. If he had he would have scored. He missed by inches. Braimah has no guts like olele 1 on 1. Braimah has weak reflexes and his anticipation is very weak. Opposing teams must shoot at him constantly if they want to score. Braimah can't even hit the ball past centerline Ebei!
  3. Franchise acheampong is not a defender. He should be told to play ZONE if he comes on for baba. Frank is attack minded and we saw how he continually left the left back area open time after time..a better, more technical team will punish ghana
  4. Why use an experienced attack minded player like partey as 6? Partey confidence and soccer IQ is very high. He can score and deliver intelligent passes to gyan, dede and atsu to score. So why play him all the way back there, grant Ebei! Play partey as 8 and let wakaso sub him after 65/70min. We need more scoring threats.
  5. Did anyone realise that our midfield was widely open? Badu and acquah must play the 6 always. They have energy and can operate in the pocket. Why can't grant see this? Oh jesus christ of mogadishu..
  6. Atsu was the beat from the start. He did everything well except: nigga,.U must shoot the ball into the lower or upper corners of the post, not str8 at the goalie. No goalie is scared of ur diminutive figure or shots so be intelligent and beat them with your technique. Love the ball over them, shoot the ball on the ground but into the lower and upper corners instead. Grant and all these useless bstar coaches were sitting there watching atsu make such mistakes over and over Ebei gyimifuo
  7.wakasso is not a starter. He didn't have 1 shot on goal. Drop him to the bench and let him sub partey. He will learn if he is punished. Too much potential to be a passenger for 90min. Jordan can't shoot, lacks confidence and his mentality for this tournament is weak. How can u play like this? Like a girl. Jordan gets the ball on the flanks and instead of cutting in and making a 45degree pass for wakasu8 or gyan to shoot from up top the 6yard box or 18. This stupid boy jordan will dump the ball 90degree angle straight infront of the opposing goalie. Ebei jordan! Jordan! Are u a fool? Jesus fuckin christian of mogadishu this boy jordan and braimah I swear are not ghanaians bcos their. Stupidly IQ is too great. How can a gh be this stupid? Drop jordan and replace Jim with assifuah or tetteh. We don't hve time to babysit if u don't produce right away. Others must get the chance. Sit jordan down now let him watch his mistakes. He should be ashamed of himself. Consistently making mistakes over and over? Why, do u hate ghanaians or wat?
  8.so if gyan gets injured or forced into an injury by our opponents. How will we score or threaten opponents 18 6yd area? If I'm an opponent, that's exactly wat I will do. Ghana is like a deflated balloon without gyan. Had gyan not had the presence of mind to force himself on the ugsndan defender to win a foul in the box. We would have ended the game with a draw! Not good. Grant must diversify his attacking options like a smart stock investor. Don't put all ur hopes and dreams in gyan alone.
  9. The team must be taught to play 2 or 3 touches, triangle and build upon these as the enter the 18 and 6 yard box from the wings or thru the middle. Break, control and pass and keep it simple. U grant should have selected intelligent players like ati zigi, kpb, nii Adjei, nkum, Nana poku, blessing, john antwi, Adomah, Dwamena, nuru Sulley, sumaila and your job would have been easier. Now, look at this substandard play from these riff raff players. Mali and egypt are waiting like kakai....muahahahahaaaaaaa
  10. John boye wqs rusty but played decent. Against Mali and egypt he will be exposed

  Finishing intelligence in the issue. Atsu was splendid. Good, but he always shot into the waiting hands of the Ugandan Goalkeeper. At times he was expected to trick the Goalkeeper a little so that there would be enough space to either pass or get the keeper on the wrong side. Jordan always waited to receive the ball before thinking of what to do, while Dede always knew what to do before the ball reached him.

  Why is Grant fielding Jordan Ayew who plays selfish games and cannot score?
