cocky overreacting gh football fans 12 years ago

it's hard to comment on the game since I did not watched the game. however, gyan should take a note on how to kick a penalty. I like gyan though.

Our guys are not bad. They should keep the spirit high and the cup will find its way to Ghana. It was a nice game to me.

GHANA VS CONGO DR
SOMETIMES, I DONT KNOW WAT AA IS THINKING
PLAY THE 5 3 2 FORMATION. PLAY BREAK N PASS BALL. 2/3 TOUCHES ONLY FOR EVERY PLAYER...AT ALL TIMES
IN THE FIRST HALF, U COULD VISIBLY SEE THAT GYAN NEEDS HELP. HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO DO GIVE N GO!
STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a tournament.
THE MIDFIELD IS NON EXISTENT, AND DEREK IS NOT DISCIPLINED. DEREK DOSENT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. HE IS USELESS!
THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEREK ARE VERY SIMPLE...
A. BREAK/STOP ATTACKING ADVANCES OF OPPONENTS INTO THE GH HALF
B. RELEASE THE BALL TO THE WINGERS OR THE $TRIKERS AND REST. I REPEAT, NO BACK PASSES!
THIS ISNT WAT DEREK WAS DOING. HE WAS CAUGHT TRYING TO BE A STAR ON THE FIELD. HE RARELY TRIES TO STOP OPPONENTS ATTACKS INTO THE GH HALF.
ON THE OCASSION THAT HE DOES, DEREK IS SEEN HOLDING UNTO THE BALL LIKE HE THINKS HE IS MARADONNA OR MESSI. IDIOT, JUST WIN THE BALL AND PASS IT
I TOLD U TO LEAVE DEREK ALONE. NOW U SEE?

I DONT SEE ANY URGENCY, AND SERIOUNESS WITH THE TEAM, YET
THEY R NOT URGENT IN FORCING THE ISSUE. THE BEST PLAYERS THUS FAR HAS BEEN BADU, WAKASSO, AKAMINKO(EXCEPT FOR THE SHIRT PULLING), FATAU
ASAMOAH IS LEAKING THE LEFT BACK AT TIMES. OUR 4 N 5 PLAYERS NEED TO BE AWAKE AT ALL TIMES IN THE 18YARD BOX WHEN THE OPPONRNTS ARE ATTACKING
AA IS NOW PAYING THE PRICE FOR NOT CALLING NATURAL LEFT BACKS LIKE DAVID ADDY AND NANA ASARE
WHY DONT U USE KISSI BOATENG, HUH? U KNOW KISSI BOATENG IS NOT UP TO STANDARD SO WHY DID U EVEN CALL HIM FOR THIS TOURNAMNT?
THE TEAM IS NOT DISCIPLINED. LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF CARDS GH RECEIVED?
HW3, AFFUL CANT PLAY THE 3. THE CONGO DR PLAYERS ARE RUNNING PAST HIM LIKE WATER.
START AFFUL ON THE 2 AND SIT DOWN PAINSTIL TILL THE LATTER STAGES OF THE SECOND HALD. PAINSTIL DID A GOOD JOB AT HOLDING THE RIGHT BACK SPOT.
AA BETTER PUT WAKASSO N KISSI BOATENG AT THE LEFT BACK. MOVE KASA TO ATTACKIN MIDFIELDER.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY BOYE WAS ALLOWED TO START. AA, SHOULD USE AKAMINKO AND AWAL AS STARTERS INSTEAD
THIS IS A WOEFUL PERFORMANCE. IM DISAPPOINTED. WE CANT GO ANYWHERE IS OUR DEFENCE MAKES CARELESS MISTAKES LIKE THIS..TWEAAAA!
STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a tournament.
PLAY THE 5 3 2 FORMATION. PLAY BREAK N PASS BALL. 2/3 TOUCHES ONLY...AT ALL TIMES
GYAN IS A FOOLISH STRIKER. HE HAS NO KILLER INSTINCT INFRONT OF THE NET. ANY STRIKER WHO CANT SMELL BLOOD INFRONT
OF THE NET IS USELESS, IMPOTENT STRIKER!
WHY ARE THE NAMES ON THESE FOOLISH TYE N DYE PUMA JERSEYS IN SMALL CAPS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY? GFA, DID PUMA GIVE US A DISCOUNT TO HVE
OUR NAMES IN SMALL LETTERS OR NOT? ATROCIOUS JERSEYS FROM PUMA. AFCON HAS TURNED INTO A PUMA FASHION SHOWCASE....FOOLISH GFA!
NYANTAKYI NEEDS BINOCULARS NOT GLASSES, BCOS HE STILL CANT SEE SHIT!

SOMETIMES, I DONT KNOW WAT AA IS THINKING
PLAY THE 5 3 2 FORMATION. PLAY BREAK N PASS BALL. 2/3 TOUCHES ONLY FOR EVERY PLAYER...AT ALL TIMES
IN THE FIRST HALF, U COULD VISIBLY SEE THAT GYAN NEEDS HELP. HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO DO GIVE N GO!
STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a tournament.
DO AWAY WITH TIRI MU D3 OR COMPLACENCY, PLS.....AA, IF U WILL LISTEN TO ME. YOUR LIFE WILL BE BETTER

HE WAS MY MAN OF THE MATCH. AA, DONT PLAY HIM AS A DEFENSIVE 3. HE PROVIDED AN ASSIST AND A GOAL. HIM AND FATAU WERE OUR BEST PLAYERS TODAY.

The first goal, Kwarasey could have pushed the ball away towards his left, even if it will mean another Congolese will score.

MOHAMMED N STALLION U HAVE NO MEMORY. HOW CAN KWARASAY SAVE SUCH A GOAL. HAVE U FORGOTTEN THE USELESS GOALS HE ALLOWED IN IN AFCON 2012 AND EVEN IN THE FRIENDLY AGAINST TUNISIA?

THE 1ST GOAL WAS A COMBINATION OF INEFFECTIVE MARKING FROM DEREK BOATENG AND JOHN BOYE. INSTEAD OF GOING FOR THE BALL, DEREK WENT FOR THE MAN AND FAILED. INSTEAD OF NOT GOVING UP ON THE PLAY, HE LAZILY TURNED AROUND AND RAISED HIS RIGHT ARM CALLING FOR OFFSIDE! ABOA....
BOYE WAS ALSO CAUGHT OFFGUARD BY THE CRISP DR CONGO PASSING AD DEREK'S INEFFECTIVE MARKING. THE DR CONGO TOOK THE BALL AND PLAYED 1 TOUCH. NO DIFFERENT THAT WAT ZAMBIA DID TO GH AT AFCON 2012 AND IN THE WCUP QUALIFIER IN ZAMBIA. FATAU IS A GOOD GOALIE. HE BAILED GH OUT FROM MANY POSSIBLE GOALS.....MOHAMMED N STALLION U ARE BOTH NOT INTELLIGENT.

K. Asamoah is great when he is not under pressure to be the main man. He enjoys the left back role because he does not have high expectations put on him so he plays more relaxed.

Thats is what happen when you pick players like Gyan he is useless, i mean how you going to pick somebody who play in high school league over someone playing in mls.

Gyan may score in the next game. But we seriously need a striker to partner Gyan upfront.
We are going to win our next two games, so what's the farting about?

We will come out of the dressing room on Thursday like bulldozers, trample on Mali, scatter Niger apart, and top the group. How about that?

In fact, we need strikers; seriously. This is not a temporal thing! We need strikers urgently. How can midfielders be scoring our goals? What of if we meet teams like Ivory Coast where the midfielders have work to do, who scores?

The Stallion tell Slimzay that I am here and I am not going anywhere the fact that I was not commenting did not mean that I have cut and run. I still have confidence in Akwesi Appiah we got our chance and failed to use them. Gyan needs to step up on his game. Akwesi Appiah should done better with his sub I personal would have replaced Derek Boateng with Annan and replaced Gyan with Afful when the score line was 2:1. I am a man of faith I still believe we would Mail and Niger. There is nothing we can do about the strikers for now "As you know, ah, you go to war with the army you have---not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.---You can have all the" this is the statement from my friend Mr. Rumsfeld.

In Africa Football it's all about dancing , so long as they get their dance on the pitch it's mission accomplished. Their whole vision is to score a goal and dance even if the goal is countless publicity is the main show not winning trophies. The coach is doing his best ,but he cannot change the mindset of those football dancers , Until the embarrassing dancing stops Ghana is going nowhere.

Ticket were said all sold out but empty stadium, could you imagine that? our first defeat was liar second deafeat was too much talk talk and the third was slow action. They need to watch the action they prevailed and learn thier mistakes. To be sincere, the Congoleies had a good game better than us.

The fact that Kwarasey tunisia lead us with 2 goals in our friendly match doesn't mean he should be bench. how can u compare him with Fatau Dauda. com'on

I hope Dauda sits out the next match. The experiment should be over now. On another note I hope we have a more stable team and not rotate players in and out of the team like we are currently doing.

In AFCON 2010 our defense was solid, with an average striking force. Now we are scoring goals, why can't we apply the defensive mechanism that worked previously in addition to the current striking force. It looks like now anyone could score if given the chance, but they must double back to defend. It is easier said than done, but if you rehearse it at practice, of course it would stick.

GHANA DOES NOT HAVE A QUALITY COACH. THIS AA GUY CANNOT EVEN COACH A LOCAL CLUB IN GHANA TO WIN A LEAGUE. THE BLACK STARS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO AN ORDINARY NATIONAL TEAM. THE TEAM ONLY EXIST BY GHANAIANS BIG MOUTH. THERE IS TRIBAL GRADUAL DESTRUCTION OF THE TEAM. THERE ARE MOHAMMED ADU AND DAVID ADDY AND YET K. ASAMOAH HAS TO PLAY LEFT BACK. JONATHAN MENSAH IS BETTER THAN AKAMINKO AND LEE ADDY LEFT OUT.

What disturbs me most are the results rather than the details. If you and I were at the BS camp we would know the details of what is going on and which players are fit and the politics of selection etc. I think the problem with the BS is BIGGER than just favoritism. Compared to AFCON 2012 the selection has improved. We should not forget that AFCON 2012 had injured players like Gyan etc invited. The BIGGER problem has to do with COMPETENCE. AA is competing against coaches who are tactically much more skillful, yet are not the best in their own countries. If Leroy was that good he would be coaching a major European team. Same with Renard (whom I respect) for Zambia. Also remember that AFCON 2008 Leroy was our coach but we did not win even on home soil. So our problem is very..very big because if we have such talented players (home and abroad) and yet we cannot beat African teams when it matters most then we will suffer to beat European teams. So far AA is doing okay, but not outstanding until he wins a trophy. The reason why most Ghanaians are not happy is that Ghana had momentum coming into the DR Congo match, and they proved it with 2 goals up......to lose those 2 goals and allow Congo to equalize showed sever weakness in our defense and mentality. Now the players have to fight harder to beat Mali and Niger....it reminds me of the saying a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush. I am still optimistic!!!

OPTIMISM DOES NOT WIN GAMES BUT COMPETENT, WHICH MR. AA LACKS, DOES. HE WAS APPOINTED NOT BECAUSE OF QUALITY BUT TO SAVE MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF QUALITY. A LOCAL COACH BETTER THAN AA IS SELLA TETTEH BUT REMEMBER TRIBAL CAME FIRST. THIS IS THE POLITICS OF GHANA AND THEY ARE NOT ASHAME OF FAILURE BECAUSE THEY FEEL UNTOUCHABLE. THE FIRST COMMENT FROM HIM WAS TO BLAME THE PLAYERS WHEN REALISTICALLY HE HAD NO TACTICAL IDEAS AGAINST A DETERMINED CONGO TEAM.

Kwesi appiah grow some balls and show your leadership when is needed most. Like today's match any intelligent coach would have substituted asamoah gyan after the first half. Making gyan the captain is not the solution to team unity, gyan himself is the problem to team unity. Just look he never openly and whole heartedly celebrated the goals scored by his fellow team mates

I watched the match A-Z. I think we lost 3 point due to tactical play.1. Kwadjo Asamoah is most potent is an attacking midfielder. The fact that he plays left back for Juve does not mean Akwasi appaih should play him same in BS when we dont have enough guys to do the work upfront.HE should revise his notes and play the player upfront. U could also see this during the game that because of his usual surge upfront there was lots of pressure on central back Akaminko.
2. Asamoah gyanns uproach to the game was very lackadaisical. He showed no quality or whatsoever .I believe during the warmup with egypt he only scored a goal because he copied how boakye yiadom placed his first goal.Not very orignial is it. Its hard to believe why jordan ayew was left out of this squad. He is at least ten times better comparing their recent forms.
3. Midfield was terrible. Derick Boateng was shaky ,tired and running every where. Annan was even a wort excuse. Agyman Badu , i belive stood his ground. but these guys must have worked demselves out almost pushing forward tooo much . That brings to light who and where were the attacking midfielder. Atsu was poor, and overshadowed , Adomah in my opinion made very good contribution to the game. Mubarak wakaso was overshadowed but was good at the set pieces. but in the game i hardly saw him .

Conclusion. Appiah should shake up the midfield . Atsu and wakaso should should compete from same position. K. Asamoah should be given the attcking midfield role just behind the striker.
A left full back should a natural defender. And Asamoah gyan should be dropped and replaced by iadom who is much genuine and original than gyan. -Adomah should also be given the attacking midfield on the right and i think these players will b hell for any team. Here is the personal list i have made.

--------------------------
1.Fatau Dauda
2.Paintsil
3. Afful
4. Akaminko
5. Boye
6.Dereck boateng
7. Adomah
8. Agyeman badu
9. Boakye Yiadom
10. kwadjo asamoah.
11. Atsu /Wakaso
