If Akwesi Appiah was in charge when Ghana lost people would have called for his head. Ghanaians would always discard one of their own and always find excuses for others.

Where in this game against Senegal did Ghana fare well? Black Stars were like running horses all over the field and the Senegalese kept drilling them with accurate passes. It's been 5 years now since the South Africa world cup but Ghana is yet to have a good striker and goalie to replace Asamoah Gyan and Olele.

Ivory Coast found ways to win afcon trophy without drogba. Why can't you do the same without gyan? Are you a good coach? Itntakes 11 well directed and competent players to win. Soccer is a team sport and not a 1man game. What did gyan do in the final? He was a mere spectator. How many goals did gyan score in that afcon? 1 goal in the entire tournament and this is a player you want to bank your hopes on? You're an idiot!

Why do we call ourselves brasil of africa? How often do you see brasil losing? We should aim to to remain unbeaten at all times. This will even raise our stock internationally and will get gbstars more friendly games against top soccer nations. Which will draw large crowds and ticket sales, tv viewership. Wining is good. It builds team character going forward

Grant needs to be dynamic and bold and say look, I am putting the under 20 combination from 2009, Boakye-Yiadom and Assifuah up front. Bring others from the bench.

Well, the coach need to do drastic changes for his own head. The goalkeeping department is leaking and coach Grant need to bring back Kwarasey and let that good for nothing goalkeeper trainer out.

And let atsu play in the pocket. I have been saying this since afcon bjt these so called technical gurus think they know best. They are devoid of common sense. Astu is a far better dribbled and ball controller than jordan. Common sense tells you to play dribblers and ball jugglers as 8/10. So theybcan get fouls in and around the 18. Atsu can take on 2/3 defenders and release balls to dede or yiadom or gyan or assifuah to score. So why is he on the wings? FOOLS....jordan by contrast is not an effective dribblers but can run with the ball and get into the 18 and make things happen. Logic tells you to play him as a right winger. Put schlupp on the left wing and younwill see video game players inaction. These technical people are bankrupt. Textbook coaches wei can't use simple logic.....muahahahahaaaaaaa

Oh, Ghanaian grammarians and logicians!

Why don't you just tell the truth, which you had told us when the friendly was first announced, which was that Grant decided to rest him so he (Gyan) could recover fully from his Afcon 2015 injury, and also to enable him (Grant) to try different and/or new players since this was just a friendly?

Even Essien, in his Chelsea-Mourinho days, "recovered" to play for Chelsea AFTER ditching Ghana. He never "recovered" to play BEFORE.

What stupid logic, dailysoccerGhana.com !

AA did the dirty work of finding new players to replace the old soldiers. Grant came to reap where he had not sown, but in the end justice will prevail and heads will roll including the head of Nyantakyi.

For a country to always depend on a sole player is very dangerous and always a disaster waiting to happen.We should understand that Wenchi B/A boy Gyan is human and he is not going to be there forever but what is sad is this call up of this Jordan boy the guy has killed us enough.Adiyah did not get this long chance like this guy.All this guy has to do is to score one goal in 100 matches at club level and that will be enough for a call up for him.Please let us be real the guy is not Abedi or Dede they are maestros but please this guy does not belong to the B/S even Abedi and Dede know that but not easy for them to mention it to him.Enough is enough.

Ghanaians wanted to give AA a tough time but this is the reality: The goal from Gyan against Algeria at AFCON 2015 saved the coach and the Black Stars from ruin. We need a coach who can identify you the second confident striker is. It looks like Boakye-Yiadom. I think we all could see that had we had Boakye-Yiadom partnered up with Assifuah a bit earlier in this game, we would have seen a different result.
Ghanaians are treating Grant with "soft gloves". If he wants to be different, he must make some radical moves so we can believe that a new era is coming. He is playing it safe. He is really just using what AA was doing and looking for Gyan to be a savior every game. Gyan is getting old.

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; Gyan will soon retire from football--he's now 28yrs old.

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 a defender who'd look on helplessly when a pass is laid across, right within his reach, but does nothing to slide or stretch himself to volley the ball away or clear his 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.

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.
