Our defense needs to wake up. They allowed the opponents too many chances to aim at the goal posts. The defense should make sure no one near he goal mouth is allowed to shoot. This is what happened in the other matches. Nevertheless all did well. This time around it is do and die. Or we will be out at the group stages. It would be too shameful for the great Black Stars.

Please don't agree with Ghan on this one because he had 3 clean chances to score but couldn't. If he were to score just a single goal from that three he wasted, the score line would have different. It would have given us the three points we needed instead of the one point we ended up with.

Therefore, Gyan is wrong to say even a word to the defenders. As a captain, he needs to learn to take responsibilities of his actions and stop blaming others. He was quick to see who make what but could recognized his. Isn't that something?

What am I reading? One thing I thought GYAN was good at is diplomacy and team unity and he is blaming the defence for the loss? We don't need this from the Captain of the team who fluffed two begging chances to score and came up empty.

We play as a team, win or lose as a team. GyaN should not put this information in the public domain. He should rather be diplomatic in talking to the defence and boosting their morale not to blame them publicly.

Our Midfield did not do well either. We have to admit we did not play well against Congo, resolve to do well as a team and move on instead of finger pointing especially from the Captain of the team who did poorly as a Striker.

Look at this Djan boy? How about the begging chances he missed? Is this a comment from a captain? Trust me Djan has started dividing the team already. It's only God's intervention that will help the team if he continues to be such a captain as he has started showing by blaming part of the team he is supposed to lead. The whole team must take the blame. Asamoah Djan should know this is not a penalty taking issue whereby one person could be blamed for missing a kick. Djan should try to cover his inefficiecy by blaming other team memmbers. Anyway, what criteria was used to choose this Captain? I hope Akwasi Appiah will be ready to face the out-come of team performance at the tail-tip of it all.

GYAN NEEDS TO RAISE HIS INTENSITY AS A STRIKER. FOR HIS PUNISHMENT, AA MUST RELEGATE HIM TO THE BENCH. THE MORE U CAPITALISE ON YOUR CHANCES, THE MORE STARTING CHANCES U GET. AA SHOULD START CLOTTEY.

OUR DEFENSE NEEDS WORK. JONATHAN MENSAH IS THE NEW DEFENCE CAPYAIN, NOT PAINSTIL. THEREFORE JONATHAN MUST START ALL GAMES UNTIL HE IS INJURED. ITS FUNNY HOW AA STILL DOESENT EVEN HAVE A STARTING 11. TWEEEAAA! U ARE UP BY 2 GOALS AGAINST A COACH LIKE LEROY. INSTEAD OF PULLING BACK, PLAYING 1 STRIKER UP. DEFENDING N CLAIMING ALL 3 POINTS. U WANT TO ATTACK SOME MORE. THIS IS JUVENILE THINKING ON AA'S PART. WAT A SHAME. LEROY HAS WON AN AFCON TROPHY BEFORE. U CANT UNDERESTIMATE SUCH A COACH.

DAUDA, 2.AFFUL, 3.WAKASSO, 4.MENSAH, 5.AWAL, 6.AKAMINKO, 7.ATSU, 8.BADU, 9.RABIU, 10.CLOTTEY 11. KASA…..
DONT START GYAN. LET HIM OBSERVE LIKE GEDDO. BRING GYAN FROM THE BENCH TO USE HIS EXPERIENCE TO FEND OFF MALIAN DEFENDERS.

The best DEFENSE is to ATTACK.

You must keep up the attacking game the other team will loose their game plan.

Asamoah Gyae, we the people need you on the BENCH until you know how to STRIKE at goals

It serves a man if the man is able to also look critically at himself.

Gyan can say the same about his own playing style and contribution in that game. he had so much chances!!

This is what we get by snobing our very best players and crown an unqualified as a captain who only knows how to bring down his team rather than working harder for victory. A.A. is also part of the problem

Nii Lartey well said. Can anyone compare the leadership of Captain Appiah to Gyan? Captain Appiah was passionate, showed great leadership and ensured success. I doubt Gyan can even lead the team to qualify for the world cup. talk of Dede Ayew, when he was captain under 20 world cup, you saw the passion, the aim and resilience to win the cup. He kept on pushing and encouraging his colleagues till the very end. Now look at Gyan, practically walking on the field in the last 20mins and being all so lackadaisical, is that leadership. Fuck sub the guy is he is tired nonsense.

Saying "I’d say we lost a bit of concentration at the back and they came back and drew,” means the defense caused the failure. His statement is true but he was equally bad, for all the begging chances he missed. If he converted even one of the chances he got the results would have been different.

Give way to young strikers or lead and play well as Adebayor and stop bragging. It is not hair cut which plays football, but ur damn mother fiucker feet and legs. Nonsense.

Do you know much about soccer? how many goals have barca conceded but yet lead the table and were unbeaten till recently. Defender will definitely make mistakes when attacked over and over again, where was the midfield to protect the defence and plus the flopping strikers missing such important clear cut chances. Look I tell you, Gyan is not dedicated to Ghana, coming to play for your nation does not show dedication, killing yourself for the nation and ensuring wins does. The guy is not a leader let alone patriotic. have you seen him play outside?? such impudence and he has the guts to blame other.

what the fuck is Gyan saying? did anyone realize the guy was literally walking about in the latter parts of the second half? seems everyone was tired, there was no determination, no willingness to chase the ball, make attacks nor create chances. we were even lucky to get away with a draw. so if anyone is to be blamed, it is the whole team not just the defense. This is the worse I've seen Ghana play recently and if we are going to continue with that lackadaisical attitude we will definitely not qualify from the group stages and i fear for the world cup qualification. What a disappointment nonsense
