Coach Avram Grant has made a point here. If Ghana fared well without Asamoah Gyan, then it's time to begin finding a potent substitute because Gyan will soon retire from football--he's now 28yrs old. That's life's reality. He won't be around forever!
Coach A. Grant should took for a skillful player who could make a difference in our attack. We can't continue to experiment with players who don't know when to give a clever pass when we're in attack; a player who can read the game and link up well his team of attackers. Some of our players have a very long way to go, judging by how many times they've had to squander begging goal-scoring chances either by not knowing when, where and who to lay on a perfect pass. To such players, they believe it's their right to give away good chances and don't seem to give a damn. Such attitude is what's helping us lose in many games.
Our defence and mid-field should all bear the blame! Talk about our defenders who'd look on helplessly when a pass is laid across, in front of them (our defenders) and right within their reach, but they do nothing to slide or stretch themselves to volley the ball away or clear their territories. The second goal that was scored by Senegal went through the territory of three defenders before it found it's targetman who cleverly placed the ball were it should be.
Our mid-field also is porous; they cannot initiate any goal-scoring moves or connect our passes; they always fail to feed clever balls mid-stream and up-stream. In term of modern football, Ghana lacks in may aspects of the scientific game. This is a fact that we have to accept. Our players are used to playing stocmach football and that's pathetic! Without the art of possessive football, we'll be toiling for nothing. We have to learn to master it--that's been our style of play for generations anyway!
The least said about our goal-keeping the better it would be. So I refrain from causing Ghanaians any sort of pain by keeping my mouth shut! Coach Grant knows better than me, so I better leave the rest for him to decide.

It's been 5 years since Ghana excelled at the South Africa world cup and Ghana is yet to find a goalie and a striker to replace Olele and Asamoah Gyan.
