KASA SAYS HE WANTS TO PLAY LW ATTACK. AA IS STILL FORCIBLY USING HIM AS LB. WAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COACH? THE SECOND GOAL VS GH AGAINST GERMANY. KASA FAILED TO MAN THE LAST POST. IN EVERY CORNER, THE 2 AND 3 MUST MAN EACH POST. I DONT BLAME KASA. I PUT THE BLAME SQUARELY ON AA AND HOS COCONUT HEAD. GYIMI...ANY DEFENDER KNOWS THIS IN SOCCER. LOOK AT BRASIL, SPAIN, ITALY DEFENDERS. IN EVERY CORNER, THEY 2 N 3 WILL MAN EACH SIDE OF THE POST. AFFUL AND OPARE WILL NEVER MISS THAT. SAME WAY, IF U PUT OPARE/AFFUL IN LW OR ATTACK. THEY WILLO ALSO COMMIT MISTAKES.

2 and 3 manning the post is old school. In the modern game coaches frown on that idea because they argue that it gives the opposition a chance to also stay on your goal line without being offside. Besides it gives a false sense of security. It is not true that players of Brazil, Spain and Italy get tucked to the goal post during corner kicks.

I think,Ghana went with few defenders to help in the WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT,hence,using a prolific,outstanding midfield player to defend.
I believe,VORSAH AND JOHN MENSAH,could have still helped Ghana tremendously,notwithstanding their old age.
When we failed to beat the US TEAM,THAT GLARINGLY AND OBVIOUSLY,SURFACED THAT WE LACKED DEFENSIVE MECHANISM,that can ensure safety for the BLACK STARS.
If KWADWO ASAMOAH might have played the position he so desire and performs best,whilst another good defender might have also played where he plays now,WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE STATE OF GHANA NOW?
Kwesi Appiah,has failed to ask himself that very question.
Though he has so far,performed really well at the position he has been compelled to play,but we don't know what might have been his contribution,if he were to have played his desired position,too.
I should think,I am being very reasonable here and making a very important point.
I WILL NEVER PUSH,FORCE,COMPEL MY CHILD TO DO,ENGAGE,PRACTICE,PERFORM WHAT HE IS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH.
Because,he wouldn't be able to perform his best,period.

Let us be honest with ourselves. The best replacement for sulley Muntari is Kwadwo Asamoah. Harrison Afful can play on the left. Inkoom or Opare can occupty the right.

Honestly Ghana could have won the WC this year with such abundance of talent...For some reason, likely money, the coach does not play the best eleven in these WC matches.

IF APPIAH AND NYANTAKYI HAD THEIR WAY, ALL BLACK STAR PLAYERS WILL BE AKAN.

TRIBAL BIGOT CRIMINALS. ASAMOAH BOATENG WILL SOON COME OUT OF PRISON TO HEAD THE BLACK STARS.

ASAMOAH GYAN MADE MORE MISTAKES IN GHANA VS. GERMANY THAN THE REST OF THE TEAM PLAYERS, GYAN HAS NEVER APOLOGIZED, AND NO ONE IN THE GFA HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT GYAN'S ABYSMAL PERFORMANCE AS A STRIKER.

NOBODY IS IN THE TEAM TO WORK FOR GYAN TO TAKE ALL THE CREDIT. ALL HAVE TO PULL THEIR WEIGHT TO SCORE A FUCKING GOAL.

Conte uses him in that position because of Andre Pirlo. Are you telling mother Ghana that you could not scout anyone to man the left back position so Kwadwo can play his traditional position where he is more effective in creating goal scoring opportunities for the strikers?

You are so daft as a coach but it is the fault of Nyantakyi. Tribalism blindfolds every facet of Ghana's officialdom. We will always be frustrated by it until the day we shirk it.

I do not think there are many Coaches in the World that can plan tactics & send out a team that made Germany (with all their Super Stars), look ordinary. If Kwasi Appiah was a non black Ghanaian Coach he would be given more praise for the performances that the Black Stars have produced against the USA & Germany. Kwasi Appiah, has proved he is far from a Daft Coach. However, I do agree with the points about tribalism.

Coach Appiah does not want to put Kwadwo Asamoah at the left half back because he gave that position to Dede, but he could deploy a 3-5-2 formation and give both Kwadwo Asamoah and Dede playing time. Dede could play outside and Kwadwo Asamoah could play inside left and Afful can go back to his preferred left back position and have Inkoom play on the right full back. Since John Boye did not train bring on Rashid Sumaila to play the center full back position. Complete the line up with Afriyie Acquah and Michael Essien. Asamoah Gyan and Waris can spearhead the attack.

Rest Dede and bring on a fresh leg in Midfield, He can start the half or come in after the half. This is a grueling tournamet and he has been playing every second. Wakaso, Atsu K Asamoah all play Dede's position on the left and are fresher legs.

Akwsi Appia should stop comparing the Player role at the Club Level to the national Team Level -the two are not the same -due to the intelligency of the guy he can Play that role in the Club Level because there are other Players who can Play at the upfront which is his natural Position but when it Comes to the national Team the availability of the Player upfront would boost our atacking force which we lack at the Moment so if somebody who is a natural deffender like INKOOM is there , you dont have to waste the ability of the Player at the deffends-AKWASI Appiah this is common sense. fix it because you are tearing our heart apart,
