Jonathan Mensah Must be fired up to do the job. He has no fear and he's very intelligent, can defend and attack aerial balls. His problem is acceleration but he can work on it.

Superman is flying around the city, horny as hell. He suddenly sees Wonder Woman spread eagle, naked on top of the building. Superman thinks, "This is my chance!" He swoops down, faster than a speeding bullet bangs her and is gone in the blink of an eye. Wonder Woman sits up and says,"What the hell was that!?" The Invisible Man rolls off her and says, "I have no idea but it hurt like hell!"

It will be very difficult for gh to make it out of this group with less suspensions. We have so few natural defenders. Unless, aa decides to play rabiu as a defender and push essien upfront. Look, after watching the Germans and portuguese. I have come to the conclusion that these teas will try to use their height to score goals. From corners, free kicks into the gh 18. This is where akaminko will be missed and why aa should have called adusei. Boye is not tall to content for aerial balls. Sumaila and jonathan alone can't do all the work. Rabiu will have to be used as 5 to prevent aerial headers and protect the gh 18 from intrusion. Essien dosent have the height and may be a Lil slow. Let him play the 6 or 8. Even acquah, Badu can play better 6 than essien. In this vein i agree with afranie.

Their whole plan revolves around the 11 or podolski. The attack, buildup goes either thru podolski or the 7, into the middle, the out to the left. Opare or nkum will have to be very alert amd play zone,.counter attack. The Germans play 2,3 touches and as they get close to the 18, the play 1 touch passing. So if a gh defender fails to play zone marking and waits for the germany player to receive the ball. By the time the gh player makes a move to tackle, the german player has already passed the ball.to an open german player. The allows the gh players to be caught in no man's land. We don't want this to happen so gh must adopt zone, man to man and counter attack vs. Germany especially! 433....

Use rabiu instead and let essien play 6 or 8. Rabiu can defend aerial balls and can clear balls getting into the 18, can block shots with his long legs

I completely agreed. He should have called John Mensah when Jerry got injured. Look at the German team, they have packed defenders. Why sending so Jordan Ayew and not call John Mensah. Now Ghana have so many strikers in the team: Gyan, Waris, Kevin, Astu, and Jordan. Should two of the central defenders get card or injured what will Akwasi Appiah do? Take hard decision to be unpopular is good.

This same tactics is what made the Cameroonian scored us here in Ghana during the Ghana 2008. Esssien was brought to play defense against some of us will. I think Kwasi is digging his own grave. I do respect him as a coach but i think he making too many mistakes going into this tournament. May be he is rather doing the right thing so the least we talk about it the better. All eyes will be soon on him come June 16th.
