We have been making noise about our Left back and yet there is someone called David Addy, a natural left back, Extremely Good,and no one is talking about him. Why?

Ask that useless Coach and that fake GFA Chief Nyantakyi. Inquire about their "Pay to play" policy and why they keep on calling Team C materials and leave out worl-class players like Muntari, Quincy Abeyie and Kwarasey. Why call up Kissi Boateng, Asante, Adomah and leave out Abeyie and Muntari and yes, Jordan? If they have nerves to call up Inkoom and Adiyia, why can't they call players who are better and world class? It is September 2013 and we still do not know which players form the core of the BS. Why? Akwasi Appiah, why?

I Totally agree with Chris, our biggest problem in the black stars team is that we have not resolved the problem of the left full back since the 2006 world where we tried and errored with Addoquaye Pappoe who was totally shambolic because he was not a natural left, we proceeded to the 2010 world cup with the same problem where we palyed Adu SaPei who is also not left footed player and he really struggled in defence, all these years have elapsed yet we cannot solve the problem, now we are using Afful at the same position who is not left footed player, Afful is the rightful player for the right full back, but because if he is pushed there somebody will be droped from the team, for that reason, we have forced Afful to play at the left back at the detriment of the team.
Kwesi Appiah wake up and open your eyes.

Mr. AA has tried many players and it seems he is on course in getting the best for Ghana but has he also tried Nana Kwesi Asare for the left back position?

I want to remind people that the right wing is also not functioning. Acually, the position did not exist, as it should be, in the Zambia game. When the wings are not working, the opposing fullbacks are free to overlap and put more pressure on our defense. I think the coach knows that and brought in Adomah. Adomah has played some games and he is now on the bench. I suppose the coach thinks Adomah is not good enough but Ayew on the right wing is equally back. The coach should know better that good players in the wrong positions is causing some of the lack of cohesive play the team is exhibiting. Mr. Appiah should find a left fullback and a right winger. He is running out of time!

Bra Frimpa, I think the problem is not the coach.Just compare the japan match to the that of the Zambia's.The problem is lack of concentration.They need to be talked to,both the young and the old.The same way the black stars lost concentration when they were 2 goals up against Zambia ..and this has been the trend over the years.What happened between Ghana and DRC during the AFCON?And between Ghana and Burkina Faso? We need a psychologist to work on the boys.I am not holding brief for Kwasi Appiah BUT the whole problem with the boys is LACK OF CONCENTRATION..

Time is not on our to allow AA to correct his mistakes. AA is not competent to handle the BS. GFA know it, but for some reason they want him there. The fact of the matter is, we are not going to Brazil with AA at the helm.

This may sound crazy, but I root for Richard Ofori to be invited to the BS. He was the spare goalkeeper in the U-20 tournament in Turkey a few months ago and featured in the Ghana-Irag match. To me he was firm, more stable and confident than Entwi. His height is an advantage. Someone bring this to the coaches.

A good analyses Christopher. I however disagree with you on Opare. I think your liking for Afful overrides your own judgement. You started by saying that Afful played so well but you admit yet again that he struggled, but blame it on Wakaso. In my opinion, Opare is a better option at the right-full back. Whereas i support your argument about the left-full back position, i think should have mentioned David Addy as a worthy candidate. I like Rahman but i think at this level, we would be better off with Addy, who is also doing very well for his club side. I am also surprised you are still doing some spade work for Olele; please, he is past his prime. You are a good soccer journalist and you of all people should know that Vorsah's awareness in a game is very poor.

Beautifully written article and analysis on point. The play off round is going to be a tough one and I hope the technical team will note your informed observations and give it due consideration. If these shortcomings you rightfully pointed our are redressed, I cannot see any reason whatsoever as o why the BS will not comfortably qualify for WC 2014, no matter who play in the October shootouts.

All those who were doubting Prince Boateng`s return to the National Senior team should be ashamed. If you do not have the facts do not rush to unnecessarily criticise because it can dampen the player`s determination and desire combined with the determination to play. It surely challenges commitment so you guys need to be careful unless you have the facts please do not rush into conclusions and speculation.I almost believed Prince was not being sincere until I read this write up today.
