  • ST. GHFUO, BLACK EXCELLENCE! 7 years ago

    THE COACH NEEDS TO VARY HIS ARSENAL. LOOKS LIKE HE DONT HVE TOO MANY OPTIONS IN HIS TOOL KIT IN TERMS OF STRIKING, SCORING GOALS N STRATEGY. SO FAR IN 3 GAMES. HE HAS USED THE SAME FORMATION, STRATEGY N TACTICS. THIS ROUND OU ...

    The boys main problem is they hang too much on the ball. They should allow free flowing football.

  • Kutsii 7 years ago

    True that. Those who are praising the starlets don't know football proper. I am not impressed. They need to prepare well for the WC else we will be disappointed

  • Mary, QUEENS NY. 7 years ago

    This is the only sensible piece I've read from Kutsii. The following is what he wrote about a victim of a botched medical operation.
    "Trumudiescopy

    Mary, may be you missed Kutsii's take on KKD's sex story. I'm sure you missed also his piece on Asamoah Gyan and that lady. On Jan. 22, 2017 Kutsii wrote:

    Continue to be stupid by not accepting the gospel truth. You are cursed even if u eat rice, bcos rice is a product of the male and female zygotes and not by trumu trumu as practiced by trumulogous trumuists.

    This is an U-17 team.You dont expect them to be perfect all round. Their ability to convert chances into goals is what matters

  • Nii 7 years ago

    Great comment...i wonder if we even have a perfect team anywhere

  • PR! 7 years ago

    Starlet '91..... the perfect team

  • black chinese 7 years ago

    those guys who played that under 17 tournament for Ghana in italy,the youngest was 24 years old,so don't praise 91 under 17 sqaurd....

  • Africanus 7 years ago

    The 91 team were men, not teens. Big difference.

  • kobbykf 7 years ago

    I totally agreed with you, they rush with the ball too much and loses possession too easily.

  • Ghanaba 7 years ago

    They look too big for U17. They use their sizes to bully other smaller players. If they do this at the world cup, they could have problems.

  • Chuks, Nima 7 years ago

    Go wey you, they look too big for U17, are you their parent? If you're not properly fed and still undernourished and look like 12 years even at 30, don't worry the boys

  • Kwasi 7 years ago

    I agree with you hundred percent, they want to dribble everywhere, they are not efficient when it comes to taking of corner kicks and free kicks. Wish them good Luck

  • New Ghana 7 years ago

    Very true I watchrd them play against Guinea yesterday on Supersport 9 snd I was unimpressed the match ended nil nil.

  • hayford 7 years ago

    Masa praise people when it Is due.ghanaians like cirtisizing too much who Is better than us in This tournament?nonsense

  • Nii 7 years ago

    You can say that again....i wonder how those critisizing are performing on their individual job roles

  • Yaw 7 years ago

    Some of us Ghanaians love critisize just for the sake of it. Our Starlets hv done what is needed to be done so far in this tournament..period! What happens tomorrow, or next month, is irrelevant. No one is perfect..not the Ge ...

    The current under17 team is not there get, after I have followed them play against guinea they are made off individual stars, they must lean to play like a team

  • Kwaku 7 years ago

    Dey r nt dat gud, dey dnt keep de ball to d'ves, faulty passes, bad tackles, poor defending. Dia only strength is de ability to score & dat has ova shadowed dia mani flaws cos football is al abt goals.

  • Revelation + Rationality= Truth 7 years ago

    What you think has no bearing on What football fanatics and the coach think, stick to banking that's your expertise!!!!

  • Kofi 7 years ago

    True talk, also they still need to be positively encouraged to perform better... They are doing well, they must improve game after game

  • Chuks, Nima 7 years ago

    Perfect and honest analysis, Mr. Addae Mensah. Under pressure the team will crumple. Inexperienced is also an issue; the boys have the tendency of trying to please the crowd and thus lose possession at the least pressure. The ...

    Ghanaians are obsessed with negativity. Looking for reasons to criticise. U17 is a work in progress but they have progressed to the wc for the first time since 2007. Let's be constructive.

  • Marcelino 7 years ago

    Watching the Starlets, I arrived at the same conclusion. The team needs more work done. It is such a shame the Chief Technical Supremo does not see that and thinks there could be wholesale promotion for the team to represent ...

    The boys r above 17 yrs. Its a cheat

  • Eric 7 years ago

    I agree with you 100%!!. This team is not good. In the first match, it appeared the boys gave everything, but the subsequent matches have not impressed me at all...I don't see the team going far in the world tournament...
