Arrogance and insolence killed his game. He should come down to earth, and his game will raise him up. May be they should try him in midfield instead of a striker. At least, He is very good in dribbling and ball handling.

Jordan is a terrific footballer. He still needs to learn more but Sochaux is good for him. People attack this boy incessantly for no reason.

I saw the game, he played well and the coach likes him. Isnt it funny how Ghanaweb seem to be rallying for Fatau Dauda who has played 1 game all season whilst attacking Jordan Ayew who has started every game for Sochaux?

Not every player can score in a game. they all contribute to the winning points. Team effort is important not individual achievement

ADVICE FOR JORDAN AYEW
1. You need to work on positioning in and around the 18 yard
2. Go to WHERE THE BALL IS BEING PLAYED TO, the final destination of the ball before it is played. You have to anticipate where your teammates will play the ball to. This can be achieved thru practicING set pieces AND ANTICIPATION.
3. Watch videos of the weah and Drogba on youtube.
4. Lift metal and work on your leg strength
If you do this with discipline and high work ethic. Trust me things will change. Then come and pay me.....

I agree with you. I saw the game, and indeed Jordan played very well. It appeared the coach deployed him in an attacking midfield role, he was certainly not playing as the front man. And I think that role is more suitable for him, given his ability to handle and joggle the ball around.

@ least those poor ball control and passing game are not in his stock of trade and as well as his brother.
unfortunately for him, however, his temparament on the field seemed not to have done him any good. secondly his entry into the blackstars should have been delayed a bit.
that not withstanding i strongly believe that very soon he will explode.
we saw his father as far back as 1982 but it was almost a decade later that he really explode.

Footballers also have their personal problems that impact their performance positively or negatively. There are seasons of drought just as there are seasons of rain. The boy is still young, so has a lot of time ahead of him to perfect his skills. Established players like Fernando Torres went several months without a goal and yet we was not crucified like some people are trying to do to this young man. Let us encourage our own!!!!

Why do we always delight in discouraging our players instead of encouraging them? What would we say now if Jordan starts scoring and the other players go in to goal drought. We are quick to criticise but slow to commend. Quick to identify the straw in other peoples eyes but not the rafter in our own eyes. Let us learn to encourage one another because together we stand, divided we fall. Patience is a virtue, let's give the young man some peace of mind.

There are tens of players in Ghana whose position have been stolen and given to Ayew because they dont have a father called Abedi Pele.

Are you encouraging those players? Ayew has had more than enough goodwill. When are the less fortunate and poor in Ghana going to be given even half the chance that the silver-spoon fed like Jordan have.

We've seen it all before - the pull him downs that some Ghanaians adopt when they don't like somebody. What on earth do you want from this boy? Does the writer think he is painting a negative picture so that he would be excluded from Ghana's squad? We are in February, now this boy is playing very well and helping his team, to the extent that he was nominated as the club's best player of the month - but missed the vote! What else do you expect him to do? To be selfish on the pitch so as to score a goal? Then you accuse him of being a selfish player? So now that he is playing well for the team, you have no positive news to bring to your readers rather than this negative one? If he starts scoring before the world cup, which he will, I bet you will still see something negative in him. What kind of nonsense is this? This kind of pull him down attitude makes me sick! You shall not succeed, whoever you are. Jordan is a winner. How many players can hold the ball, disorganize defences, and create as much as he can do - even in your current black star squad? His nomination as player of the month for his club by the fans, as well as his high estimation by his coach mean nothing to you? Nothing at all? Or all the club's fans are also his father's cronies? NONSENSE!

The issue is that he is a good player who has not made any big plays for Ghana in a big game. The problem is the Zambia semi-final loss in 2012 has really hurt many of the attacking players. I think that psychologically, that game really hurt him. He needs a game with Ghana where he scores a big time goal.

IT IS TRUE THAT THE YOUNGEST OF THE AYEW BROTHERS IS EXPECTED TO NET GOALS BEING ASSIGNED TO THE ATTACK, HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH GOALS DETERMINE SUCCESS IN FOOTBALL, GOAL-MAKING AND TEAM WORK LEADING TO GOALS EQUALLY MATTERS. SINCE THE PROLIFIC ATTACKER JUAN MATTA WAS SIGNED ON BY MANCHESTER UNITED FOR MANY MILLIONS OF STERLING, HE IS YET TO SCORE A GOAL FOR MAN U, UNLESS I AM MISTAKEN, BUT HE HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY AND ACTIVELY INVOLVED AND CONTRIBUTED TO ALMOST ALL THE GOALS SCORED SINCE HE JOINED MAN U. I WOULD QUITE AGREE WITH THE BROTHER WHO SUGGESTS THAT JORDAN AYEW COULD DO VERY WELL IN THE MID-FIELD, SINE HE IS QUITE FORCEFUL AND DRIBBLES WELL. STOP JUDGING THE YOUNG MAN ONLY ON THE NUMBER OF GOALS SCORED!

Jordan's attributes/qualities on the football pitch is yet to be seen. yes he dribbles but very unproductively, he does not pass the ball. and his aerial prowess is nowhere to be found, he does not win tackles, he does not make good runs as a forward, he only play for himself, he gets outmuscled very often, I cannot point out any aspect of Jordan's game that can contribute to a team. not saying he's got no potential but the man is 22 for goodness sake. agro b3 soa n3 afri anopa but I hope he comes goo good though

Check out his player rating which is very high. He is playing very well, just not scoring. Outside Asamoah Gyan and Warris, he is by far our next top striker
