Believe me, if Ghana is down by one goal by half time and Jordan or Appiah is not playing up to expectation, Gyan will be forced to suit up.

Atsu 8, Jordan 7
Play atsu in midfield let him use his dribbling, passing and shooting skills. Then play jordan on the right wing. So he can have freedom to run and cross the ball. The strength of the African game/players is making jordan very dull. When he plays for Lorient on the right wing. Jordan is very aggressive, a firestarter and thats how he is able to cause havoc in the 18, get penalties etc.
Grant, Konadu too Dull
Konadu too isn't a disciplined coach with an eye for detail.either. For if he did,he would have identified the lack of potency in atsu and jordan including the goalie Briamah and made changes. Braimah has been unimpressive in the first 3 games.so allow sowah to come in. Look at the elementary mistakes Briamah made versus south Africa? Also, the players are not disciplined in terms of this: 2/3 touches,.ONLY! Break the ball, control the ball and pass. 3 tlucebs maximum for each player. I hate when players hold unto the ball and waste time. It makes it so easy for the opponents to regroup and repossess the ball. I have lost.confidence in the abilities of Braimah. The goal he conceded was very careless. The ball was outside the 18 so why come off the line?
Defence Wins tournaments! Get the early goals and concentrate on stepping off the gas and playing solid DEFENCE. The team must be taught when to apply the brakes/play defence and when to step on the gas and attack the opponents 18yardbox.

Our secret to the recent success is the 2 holding midfielders ( Wakasu and Afriyie) just like ( Essien and Muntari). If we change this plan we will lose. Just as dropping Essien for Rabiu led to our downfall.

Because the only reason why this guy gets this much opportunity although he sucks is he probably paid a lot ( or his brother did or Abedi) because this makes no sense to start this guy again after 3 failed attempts. It's true, we have to suffer until he is changed again. And guess what? he will still be in the squad for the next world cup, for as long as Abedi is alive. Oh Ghana, what a corrupt nation.

However, I will say this again: if you take a knife to a gun fight you are likely to get killed. Why Jordan? Why not Accam or all the other strikers who have not played yet? Jordan had every chance and could not deliver. Maybe he is playing because his father is a retired 'famous football player'!

We all know Jordan is a wasted space, so that technically means we will be playing with 10 men until the 70th minute when he is substituted before (like always) our game actually start.

"These players were in blistering form".

Please wait till such traits are reflected in a longer-term consistency.

Ghana press, leave the superlatives for later, that is, after something worth laying our hands on has been achieved.

You guys are in too much a hurry to patronise. What if they flop next, then what? Haven't we seen them flop before?

One win - and over Guinea at that - does not qualify them for all those accolades, not yet.

However, I still felt like sending a little caution out there, if only they care.

Mr. N, yeah, I do wonder why they always say "former Chelsea boss" but hide Portsmouth and West Ham.

He succeeded with Chelsea because of the talent load that his predecessor (was it Mourinho?) had left for him.

He went to Ports and Ham and failed.
That's why our journalists, in their wink-wink kahoots with Nyantacus, want to hide his failures.

But I think he AND KONADU have "done well" so far at Afcon. May they win it all on Sunday.

Coach Grant, why are you denying others the chance to prove their worth? The other day, you gave Kwasi Appiah the chance and he's fast becoming a first team player. Jordan has been given enough chance(s) already but flopped so why is the fascination about him? Otoo and Accam are waiting for their turns but Jordan is just wasting space.

I believe the Guinean keeper was bribed to take out gyan for the e. guinea. Here is why, e. guinea won their game before Ghana, and going to their locker room at half time Ghana was already leading by 2 goals. However, coming back to win against Ghana was impossible; therefore, the e. Guineans making under-table deal to take out gyan to improve their probability of winning against ghana higher makes sense. Their leverage of getting it done is EASY cos the tourney is going on in their own homeland.

Why are we stuck with Gyan? I guess we need to more away from that notion. It's a team effort! Yes, Gyan is good but without him, these guys can deliver. I think someone we should more strikers, then just Gyan. Who knows someone will step in and change everything. I think the coach need to try other players but he knows better. I give them my full support and prayers. Everybody does well under the spirit of encouragement. May Jordan has learned his lessons, knowing none of the players is indispensable. You can have all the talents but without motivation one cannot go far, I think this coach has been able to combined both talents and motivation. Ghana will surprise everybody today!
