  Is that reason Ghana players couldn't display above average intelligence on the field? With the faulty passes? No hunger for a win?
  Nonsense!!!

  This coach must remember that he is not talking people who know nothing about footballing. Attributing the defeat to the pitch is very childish. No one will ever expect a man of his caliber to say this. His words go to proof that he must be sacked without delay.

  This coach should pack and leave Ghana,and let Maxwell konadu do the job.I have noticed there's something wrong somewhere,he didn't tell us something reasonable about our defeat.He talked about the pitch,plus the height of the Senegalese.lt doesn't make sense to me,instead of him to blame it on his formation.Ghana won't go far on this Afcon with this coach period.

  This is childishly Nonsense. The Senegalese were playing on the surface of the moon. Stop giving the flimsy excuses and develop a better strategy. Your first one DIDN'T WORK.

  The "grass was too high" excuse is a good one. Paa Grant, was the grass higher at the Ghana side of the pitch and nice and low at the Senegalese side? The state of the pitch was the same for both sides. Top players are expected to adopt to changing playing conditions. Yes the grass may be better at Stanford Bridge but this is Africa you know.

  Avram Grant should shut up. He must appeal to the organizers of the AFCON 2015 to shift the Ghana/Algeria match to be played on the Moon.
  The team he assembled was not Ghana Black Stars. It was Real Tamale United soccer team.
  Avram Grant's 3-5-2 formation tactics cannot win a single match in AFCON 2015. The Goalkeeper was useless, the defence was porous, the midfielders lacked stamina and there was glaringly no striker in the team.
  The Black Stars should be dissolved immediately after AFCON 2015, and the coach tasked to visit all the League centers and select 40 local players as nucleus of a new Black Stars for AFCON 2017. The so called professionals who are bench warmers in Europe will have to compete with the local Black Stars to justify their inclusion in any future engagements.
  The current Black Stars have outlived their usefulness, and we must plan to rejuvenate the team for AFCON 2017 and the 2018 World Cup.
  The new Black Star players must be tall, strong and under 20years. If we fail to plan, then we have no business to be present in any soccer fiesta in the years ahead.
  Senegal started planning with a youthful side 5years ago, and today we are witnessing the result of proper planning.
  Our football administrators, instead of planning ahead are always looking for avenues to enrich themselves at the expense of the Black Stars. Instead of coming up with innovative ideas, they invent jargon like co-efficient corrupt practices in dollar distribution at the GFA.
  Finally, let Avram Grant know that the Ghana Black Stars have no special grass on which they play their football. All the teams in the competition are given equal opportunities to train on the pitch to know the terrain before the actual date of action. So blaming the grass for the defeat is unacceptable.
  The Senegalese were better in all departments of the game, and not until you adopt the familiar 4-4-2 formation in the match against the tall Algerians for victory, ghanaians would have nostalgic feelings about the mistake of the mafia group in the sports ministry headed by Mahama Ayariga in orchestrating the sacking of coach Kwasi Appiah.
