2. We are not moving without the ball.
3. We are not playing triangular passing, positioning.
4. Our wingers are not using the flanks, crossing the ball into the 18

I don't worry much about our attack and midfield because I know AA was doing a trial and error. but the defense hmm .. though that is not our starting defense, should we get injuries at the back which has already began, we will be in a huge mess. I think Jeff should be dropped and should it come to us needing another full back due to injuries, we can let Kwadwo Asamoah play that position as he has done so in the past at club level.

I will first of all have to say that contrary to what most Ghanaians in this forum think, I watched the friendly three time today and I have to say that we did quite well. We were not brilliant but not many teams play brilliantly against the Dutch. They were the runners up in the last world cup, they are a top, top side and the BS stood up to them really well except our defense that stood off Robin, Blind and V. Persie. Boye's absence was sorely missed as he organizes the back four much better. The defense needs to be switched on all the time. We also gave away the ball cheaply which will be costly against the likes of Germany and Portugal. Holland however did not find it easy against us at all. They had their best 11 out there and we did not. Boye, Asamoah Djan, Jonathan Mensah, Wakaso coming in will make the team much stronger. If KA addresses these little deficiencies, the BS will be a match for any team in Brazil. Oh and KA did the utmost right thing by playing Krarassey in goal. He is our undisputed no 1 at the minute, he proved it again yesterday. So, like I said earlier, it is far from doom and gloom as some are portraying, we have a strong cohesive and highly talented team. You guys will be jumping out of your seats when we tear the USA, Portugal and Germany apart. Mark my words..

After watching this game, I feel Jordan was impertinent and really played nothing in this game. In addition, I really did not see the performance of Adomah. If we can get someone to take over the left back should he experience an injury, I would say Jeff be dropped. He really lacks confidence and pace. Aside these guys, Rabiu was questionable, Essien seemed a bit rusty and could not take charge of the midfield, I hope Akaminko is not seriously injured, Sumaila was making rushed tackles, we did not get to see Accam nor Wakaso. in cnclusion i feel with the start of the first team and letting players retain their comfortable positions we will do great at this world cup. I.E Kwadwo Asamoah is obviously not comfortable at the wings.

AA, didn't u see the dutch coach taking notes as the game was going on. Writing and re writing his mistakes as the game was going on? Roco, u need to watch teams like brasil, Barcelona and spain play. 2,3 touches max for each player. When youndo this, u don't give ur opponents the chance to regroup, position themselves physically and mentally to receive the ball. U need to see where ur player is. Make sure they are open to receive a pass before u pass the ball. So 1touch passing won't be a good idea.

We cannot be playing Zone in or around the 18. To offset the play of our opponent we have to play zone mostly when we are in possession of the ball. As soon as we lose the ball we have to play man on man. It will easily confuse our opponents who are used to playing with space to pass the balls. Our Midfielders have to play together making good use of space and support from one another. Their passes to the forwards should not be obviously predictable. One touch passes become more effective. If the play-maker of our opponents is the most trouble maker keep a mid fielder on him constantly.It will mess up their game. Lastly reckless tackling will not go unpunished. Don't leave the opponents too much space or else, we will be chasing after the ball and man throughout the games; tighter marking is key in and around the 18 avoid causing penalties by hard , foolish tackles.

I do not have the statistics, but what I know is that any time Essien captains a team, Black stars, Chelsea or whatever, the team loses, or draws when really lucky.
Essien has never captained any team to a win.
But I thought he played well in today's game. I would have kept him for the second half.
He still has an urging knack for attacking distribution.
I would definitely take him to Brazil to give us a jump in the first game.
For your question, don't count on Ghanaian or any other African officials to have those very important, telling, compelling statistics.
Ask the English.
They will give you a perfectly correct answer regarding Essien when he was at Chelsea, or the French when he was at Lyon.
Africans are too busy looking to fill their fat stomachs to have time for such data.
If anybody has the numbers for Nobody is Nobody, he or she should prove me wrong.

I was also surprised at how far Essien's game has fallen. The problem is not his pace or his forward distribution. His ability to read and intercept attacking midfielders looked very bad today. Afriyie definitely justified his selection and probably won himself a starting spot in the number 6 position.
The competition for his back is actually between Essien and Rabiu but I would give a slight edge to Essien. Unless AA plans to take three players for that role to Brazil or play with three defensive midfielders like he did today, Rabiu is in trouble. Sule and K. Asamoah are already holding down the left side defensive midfield roles.

The Netherlands have already chosen their 23 before this friendly and they played their first 11. AA has not selected his 23 yet, and he did not play his first 11. In fact AA is up to something, and I hope it works for him. Ghana made several changes, and improved as more senior players were added such as KPG, Dede and Jonathan. I am eager to see how AA's first 11 would fare against South Korean should he decide to unleash it in the next friendly. Against the Dutch the players were fighting for inclusion and lost a collective effort. Against S. Korea, it will be about conditioning and tactics.

I agree. No injuries in this match. The coach should be able to decide the players to be dropped. It's good most of the reliable players are on the bench. If the game is balanced, he should leave them on the bench to the end.

This game means a lot to the players and BS, since the 23-man squad will be selected partially based on players performance in this game.
I am happy, Essien will be the captain.
This means that he's got to play much more minutes that he's played for his clubs during the season.
We will keep close eyes on his performance.
If he sucks, and the naysayers are vindicated, it will be STUPID and sheer foolhardiness to pick him for the WC squad
His performance in this game will be crucial as a lot of ghanaians believe he's a spent horse and should not go to the WC.
All eyes will be on Essien today, believe it or not.
If he's still good, he goes to Brazil if not, he should be dropped.
The selection should be void of favoritism and without fear or favor.

The only positive thing was that we pressed high up and denied the Dutch breathing space. Apart from that, the sickness were still them. We started at a slow tempo in the first 20 minutes and from there we have to play catch-up in terms of sharpness, then someone goes and mess up the offside trap because he's not thinking slow, not thinking about the shape of the defence and we concede, it was the same thing we did against Montenegro which resulted in the penalty we gave away.
Higher up on pitch, we lacked a genius or brilliant direct-minded offensive midfielder to open up their defence with pace and passes. In the striking department, there were vast spaces behind the dutch defence which was unexploited. This is something Akwasi Appiah has to work on. Pacier wingers or a clever stronger striker could have easily exploit those spaces with his movements.

The two players have shown beyond doubt that their individual tactics and awareness are far below what is expected at the high level. On to the rest of the black stars, please balloon the ball to the opposite goalkeeper anytime you start the game to signal your intent. Don't pass it around the back especially in that sluggish manner. It is novices who do that.

Van Persie's goal was due to LACK OF COMPOSURE by the defenders after they realized that Robben has started one of his moves in a freely dangerous space they handed to him. Tell the defenders to be composed at all the times and not panic so that they don't lose their sense of positioning and fight because you have a chance to recover from your mistake so long us you have a man behind the ball who is still fighting

Does AA know what he's doing? I thought we were rubbish today. Our 1st shot on target came after 90mins, that has to be a joke.
Why is there no discipline or organisation in our midfield and especially our back 4. With a holding players, 1 sits and the other plays but why were both Essien & Rabiu attacking at the same time and leaving us exposed? Rabiu should have sat back & let Essien go forward since he's better on the ball. Can't AA see this? Every since he was appointed, I noticed that it can take only 1 pass and our whole midfield is out the game.
Our back 4 are terrible. They can't move as a unit or read the game properly, instead of tracking their individual runners, all they done was keep their eyes on the ball meaning 2 of them usually go for the same ball which then creates space & allows the Dutch players to expose us.
This is what happens when you don't have an experienced leader in defence. I really think we're going to miss Mensah or Vorsah in the WC
AA sort it out asap otherwise we'll be on the plane back home early with England! I can't have both my countries exiting at the group stages.

Coach AA please send SOS message to bring Vorsah because he has now recovered fully. Or John Mensah half fit will be better than Sumaila who always bring negative [penalty or probably red card] Since the Egypt match penalty always there is something negative from this guy. What does it tell you who knows it is going to reflect like that?Drop Sumaila, Jordan and Adomah. or probably move Essien to defense. Anyway good test match to shape up but there is more room for improvement.

Aaaaaa! Wat a disgrace to Ghana team, sports TV analysis in one of the station here is analyzing Ghana vs Holland, and total condemned our entire team players n technical bench, according to them, few did well. Inkoom, Schlupp, Adomah, below world standard. And they rate our attacks and defense below average. We have plenty of works to do before world cup according to them. They tackle Appiah of his luck of game plan n can't change tactics n so much to say. So I believed Appiah can still call players outside to replace some. The likes of Inkoom, Schlupp, Adomah, should be dropped completely to make up 23 man. And find a replacements of this this players in the squad, Accam for Mahatma, Affriye for Vorsah, since we have too much of that positions, and Jordan should go to wings Essien on right back whiles K Asamoar or Wakaso should be convert to left back bcoz they all tested that positions before. Sumaila is good but he need psychologist to cancelled him him before the tournament other then that we will be awarding our opponents penalties every match. We have shooters like Muntari, Prince and Wakaso but I don't see why Appiah bench all of them, even if u r testing ur team u have to fear embarrassing

hoping u snatch the cup home. You win the GOLD in Brazil all the best coach Appiah may the almighty Jehovah leads and fight excellent fight for Ghana. Remember being honest PAY
This is very experimental
Our focus should be first, to win and to see who and who can play in which positions. Well, we trust AA but it shouldn't be a loss otherwise we would be losing points and our fifa rank will go down.
This is only a friendly, and I do not think the focus should be about winning. For me I think it should be about fine tuning our tactical plans for the real challenge in Brazil. I do not want any player to get injured over tr ...

I agree. No injuries in this match. The coach should be able to decide the players to be dropped. It's good most of the reliable players are on the bench. If the game is balanced, he should leave them on the bench to the end.
Who really cares about FIFA rankings. I'll take the cup anytime versus being at the top of the bizzare FIFA ranking system.
This game means a lot to the players and BS, since the 23-man squad will be selected partially based on players performance in this game.
I am happy, Essien will be the captain.
This means that he's got to play much more mi ...

Well done and well said.Only the best is good for Africa.God bless our men to come out with a big victory.Amen.
I hope not, but if Ghana, as confident as we are about our chances at the WC, should suffer a heavy loss, I can see a 'wave of pandemonium' spiraling in our camps and households.
I can see the criticisms,warning,ridiculous p ...

oh ho Ghana
From bench warmer to Ghana captaincy, what a joke? Oh Ghana!!!!
Drop Nkoom immediately
we pray that our captian will be able to hold on our opponents n control the team till the end
if you do not do well you are cut...and Appiah does not want to go down 0-3 at half time...It is serious selection...
Superb Ghana 4-1 Netherland. The squard is ok
The squard is very superb. Ghana 4-1 Netherland
...cane? This old chap is past his former glory and offers the current BS no value.
Akwasi Appiah thinks this is a game for Pensioners. Essien better carry along his walking stick for balancing himself so that he can shoot straight !
Ghana 4 Netherland nsoso nothing
hi there,could anyone help out with a free site for this match.... from north america? thanx
Check ESPN3 at 2.25 pm (Online), ESPN Deportes at 7:00 pm(replay). I believe ESPN is doing a live telecast on most of the international friendlies and Netherlands vs. Ghana should be one of them.
It will be Ghana 1, Holland 4. Holland will score two goals in the first half. Ghana will score one at the beginning of the second hald, then Holland will proceed to score two more goals making it 4:1 in favor of Holland.
eiiii, so you remember the dream you had today after eating too much and went to bed? lol
uno if u eat a lot this is how u will be thinking
Koffi Koffi we agree to ur predictions, whatever u call it but i pray.it should be the opposite in favour of our men. They can do it.
It is a doom for Black Star. You don't allow juju man like JJ Rawlings to come near Black Star, let alone allowing him to hold their jersey for publicity show. i have said it. It is doom.
FOOLISH MAN CALLING YOURSELF BIG MAN. NO WONDER YOU ARE HUSTLING AND DOING SHIT WORK IN ABROAD AND COMFORTING YOURSELF WITH THE NAME BIG MAN. WHILE AM HERE WRITING MY RESEARCH PAPER YOU ARE HERE TALKING SHIT.
All the best Ghana
According to the whiteman[dutch]the game will commence at 19:50 but the blackman[ghana]says it will start at 18:30 GMT [16:30pm local time].
Sayooooo, let's wait and see who is respecter of time and who will carry the day!
It's the same thing. The 18:30 GMT is when the players will be on the field. Whether it will start at 18:30 or 19:50 is another matter.
WE ARE GOING FOR BIG NAMES OR SERIOUSE WORLD CUP,
COACH SHOULD STOP TAKEN WORLD CUP AS A JOKE,ITS VERY SERIOUSE,BENCH SITER IS OUR CAPTAIN
stephen essein has prove it to me that he is still the master he was . a very fine midfield player
Goodluck 2 them with Ghana 2 Holland o
It is good Kwasi blend the team young and senior players.
GOD IS NOT IN THIS.
PREPARE AND WORK HARD.
Hes tired. Please let him go!
Ghana 2 -Holland 1
under 5min
ghana cannot qualify from the group stages at the world cup. germany n portugal will humiliate us n we cannot beat usa.
What a nation
we have a very good goalkeeper i mean kwarasey....it should have being 3 -0 by now.....our defenders are weak...Oh God...im watching the game
I agree that the defence is leaking too bad. But Ghana is playing well, bearing in mind that a win is not all what we are looking for.
The #3, Leicester City defender, should be retained. But I think Adomah should be dropped ...

I think Coach Appiah will be doing Ghana a favour by dropping Jordan and Essien. Afiyie Acquah played a whole lot more better in Essien's role.
He still defends like he is playing in a 70s World Cup.
GHANA HAS SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH OUR TECHNICAL BENCH. GHANA LACKED ANY QUALITY TO EVEN BE IN A WORLD CUP. IT WAS EMBARRASSING TO WATCH. AND WHY IS JORDAN AYEW STILL IN THE SQUAD/ why why why why why why? Appiah why?
lazy guys. always standing and watcthing the ball. lack of clever run in and pass throughs. lack of quality shots. defence is a mess. Simple man to man marking and these defenders fail. look at the dutch technical bench. with ...

The problem is that the players don't preempt their tackles. They rush on the Dutch long after the pass. Also the Ghanaians want to play "k3kye" to impress thereby holding onto the ball unnecessarily. Dr Appiah has also exper ...

what is the line up for Ghana?
not quality...now we have 2 to take out
After 46mins of play, only one shot at goal from GH...nuff said!!!
Oh God help us this fight is not our fight
ghana wins the world cup
Schlupp go slip, Sumaila looks like he will cause too many bad fouls and Accam his time will come not now
one half and ghana has not even had one shot at goal. Not even a corner.Shows the difference in skill and talent level. Hahaha and we thinking about winning the cup? Only by a miracle
When we win it, atta, don't say it's a miracle.
I've seen this kind of poor stuff before, but come the tournament, Black Stars soar, so don't give up yet.
These are those who must go. We have a clueless coach!
Kwasi Appiah has a lot of work on his hand. Our game is not fluid. It's just stagnant. The only thing that can help right now is if we are lucky to get some set pieces and utilize them
The midfield should supply balls to the ...

Please watch the game well, essien is the only play maker in there as now.
Akwesi Appiah has never won a game against European opposition
Its a trial match Our key players have been divided into two and blended with the new ones
When the D day comes you will see the full strength of the Black Stars
Just wait and see
KPB, Muntari, Gyan, warris
I still have confidence in the BS. The ''Big Men''are watching the game and taking every note.Waiting for their''show'' in Blasil. Go Ghana Go.

This match has exposed Essien as not match-fit. Including him in the final 23 will be a mistake.
On the whole, the Stars lacked the sense of urgency through the match.
stop disturbing Essien and us did very well meanwhile defence was problem and Essien was not defending
The fact that defense was not a problem in the second half shows that Essien and Rabiu playing in the defensive midfield role were part of the problem. I think Essien and Jordan should be dropped.
Get rid of Adomah and make jordan a right winger.invite Anooson to replace injured akamiko, sumaila should be replaced by John Mensah/ Isaac vorsah. Inkoom is too hopeless.send him home
RIGHT MOVE TO THAT ISAAC VORSAH REPLACED A AKAMIKO

Too many long balls into the box. World cup defenders are all tall and we can't compete in height. One shot on target is very poor. Stop the long balls and work with space.

AA and his technical team are fishes out of water. They have no game plan. They are a joke.

I said the same thing and ppl said I have Blackman inferiority complex...AA qualified based on ability of players not on team play. When we midfield could not link with forwards he did not have any ideas to fix that
Does AA know what he's doing? I thought we were rubbish today. Our 1st shot on target came after 90mins, that has to be a joke.

This was just a friendly match, and we lost 1-4 to the Netherlands 4 years ago and still made it to the quarter finals. You're probably not even a Ghanaian. We will get out of that group and put all you haters to shame.
