DONT BLAME AVRAM GRANT, HE IS A GOOD COACH. BLAME THE SPOT-LIGHT LOVING PLAYERS. THEY SAY COME AND PLAY BALL, THEY COME WITH EAR-RINGS, JERRY CURLS, SHOWING THEIR WHITE PANTS AND THEIR SHORTS ON THEIR BUTTOCKS, ALL KINDS OF INDISCIPLINE. THEY DONT DARE DO ANY OF THAT NONSENSE IN THEIR TEAMS IN EUROPE. ASAMOAH GYAN WITH NUMBER 3 IN HIS HEAD, LEAVING HIS SHORTS UNTIED SHOWING HIS BUTTOCKS, WHAT KIND OF CAPTAIN IS THAT???? CHRISTIAN ATSU BEHAVING LIKE HE IS A WHITE BOY?? JORDAN AYEW WITH HIS OTTO PFISTER BEHAVIOUR. WATCH THE FRENCH BOYS - GUINEA, MALI, ETC AND SEE THE DISCIPLINE AND THEIR LOVE FOR THEIR COUNTRIES IN WHAT THEY DO ON THE PITCH.

BLAME THE PLAYERS WHO VIEW PLAYING FOR GHANA AS A JOKE OR HOLIDAY, OR A CHANCE TO SHOW OFF TO GIRLS IN GHANA, NOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO DIE FOR GHANA OR MAKE GHANA FOOTBALL PROUD

Idiot, u think this is club soccer? U can't succeed at any tournament with your stupid formation. You know why? Lemme tell you why. Becos defense wins tournaments and without 442,433 formation at tournaments. You ain't going nowhere. I told you about all this before the tournament but like hardheaded napoleon you didn't listen.

5-3-2 and 4-3-3 is used by teams that have good defenders. Why can't this coach understand this simple thing?

Even if you look at the EPL, it is only Chelsea and Man City that use the formation.
If you have bad defenders and use those two formations, when there is a counter attack, your anus will open fuaaaa like free pipe. Why can't this coach understand this simple English?

Any team that plays Chelsea or Man C, do not play 2 people upfront. Chelsea or Man C can attack you at any time because they know they have defenders like Terry, Cahill, and Evanovic to cover the back.

How do you play attacking football when your anus is leaking too bad?
Ghana will remain the way it is!!!

Avram Grant need to do a better job in convincing his critics WHY this formation is better than the others and that with time it will produce the desired results. He seems unable to clearly articulate this. Can anyone help him to do so? HE MUST ANSWER THE QUESTION: WHY IS 3-5-2 A BETTER CHOICE OVER THE OTHERS?

The coach is si stupid that he hasn't figured that you CANNOT use 352 when you have 3 weak defenders. You need to use 442 period. That is what they are used to; that is what Rahevac was successful with, etc. I can't believe the GFA picked this clown over Maxwell Konadu, especially when the latter got us there.

To me 352 formation is the safest for mation.You must pack the midfield with 5 players an psyche them to behave as defenders or the whole playing body but the two laterals will always sweep the lines to either join the defends and or the attackers line to make it 5 at defends and 4 with the attackers that makes it look like 532,334,or the usual 352. You can also switch it to make it our usual 442 where depending upon the condition one midfielder in the 352 will move to join the defenders.

The best for Ghana team is 4-2-3-1or 4-3-3. Take Atsu and Rabiu off from the field, they make me sick bring someone who is ready to play. Please try Baba Rahman in the middle and put Afful left Gyimah right back.
This is my first eleven :
Razak
Gyimah. Boye. Mensah. Afful
Amartey Rahman
Badu. Jordan. Dede
Gyan or Appiah

Trust me for sure, you will succeed with this team.

GFA SAYS THE COACH THEY EMPLOYED IS NOT EXPECTED TO WIN THE TROPHY. SO WHAT EFFORT? GHANA IS USED TO A FORMATION BUT THE NEW COACH IMPOSES A NEW ONE JUST BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT. THE NEW FORMATION IS NOT TESTED AGAINST ANY AFRICAN SIDE PARTICIPATING OR NOT IN THE AFCON TOURNAMENT! IN THE ABSENCE OF ASAMOAH GYAN, KWADWO ASAMOAH, WARRIS AND AKAMINKO AT THE BACK, ATSU IS SUBSTITUTED WITH WAKASO, WHILST THE TWO TOGETHER, IN MY OPINION, CAN HELP TO SCORE. DONT WE HAVE A FOOTBALL TRADITION IN GHANA LIKE ALL OTHER FOOTBALL NATIONS? SHOULD WE MASTER A FORMATION TWO WEEKS BEFORE A TOURNAMENT WITHOUT ENOUGH PRACTICE? AND ESSIEN, KPB, MUNTARI ARE ALL WATCHING SITTING DOWN IDLE FOR CONFUSED REASONS. NDC CAN LET GO MILLIONS OF GHANA NEW CEDIS IN CORRUPTION AND JUDGMENT SCANDALS AND SWINDLING OF NATIONAL SERVICE SALARIES, ET CETRERA, BUT GFA PRETENDS NOT KNOWING HOW TO PONDER REALITIES AND FACTS REVEALED AGAINST THEM. HERE WE ARE AGAIN THE RIDICULE OF THE FOOTBALL WORLD. WE DONT EXPERIMENT STRATEGIES DURING TOURNAMENTS, ITS BEFORE. LET US PRAY FOR THE HEALTH AND STRENGTH OF OUR PLAYERS BECAUSE IT IS NOT THAT WE DONT HAVE TALENTS. BUT WE ARE NOW A PITY!!!

Grant should not be treated with kid gloves. If he cannot get this team out of the group he should be fired. This is quite simple. The second half was a sign of a coach who did not say much to his players at the half time.

The Black Stars lack the fighting spirit, determination and the will to win. The players are individually good but lack of zeal to win blatantly shows. This was very apparent when they played Guinea during the qualifiers. Truth be told the team act as underdogs all the time. They need to stand tall, firm and strong in the spirit. This is what will see them through.

Compare Manchester United and Liverpool's 3-5-2 system to what Avram Grant played against Senegal and you will see that AG tactic was more like 7-3-0. Three central defenders and two full backs plus two defensive midfielders who never crossed the center line. It looked like we had 7 permanent backline players with no forward.
It is how you play the system on the field that counts and not just arrangement on paper.

If Senegal started with that and had to vary formation during the game why didn't you do same? The so-called experienced coach didn't see top.

Ghana fans need to stop being ridiculous. This man is trying to install and implement an attacking style of football with various formations and tactics. Let him do his job! It's not going to happen over night! It's good for a team to be able to play multiple systems, especially on the global stage. This man is thinking about the next World Cup in 2018 and making Ghana a force in global football. I like the 4-4-2 but it's time that the team learns how to play different formations so we can be a difficult team to beat.

Can you honestly tell me you'd have had the same stance if coach AA or Maxwell had been in charge at the tourny? Do you use a tourny to try a formation?
