The best and worst of Ghanaians players abroad

Schlupp scored against Manchester City Schlupp scored against Manchester City

Too Good: Jeffrey Schlupp - On his seventh league start of the season, the midfielder netted a crucial equalizer that sensationally set Crystal Palace on the way to a famous 3-2 triumph over reigning champions Manchester City at Etihad Stadium. It was the German-born Ghana international's third goal of the Premier League campaign.

Bad: Baba Rahman - Yet another weekend, the Chelsea loanee was missing from Schalke 04's matchday squad. On Saturday, the 24-year-old was not in the Royal Blues' team as they recorded a 3-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart in the German Bundesliga. In the league, Baba has played just two games and made the bench as an unused substitute once this term, prompting rumours about an imminent termination of his loan in January.

Bad: Patrick Twumasi - Like Baba, Twumasi continues to be sidelined by Spanish club Deportivo Alaves, who signed him from Kazakh side Astana in the summer. On Friday, the 24-year-old was left out of El Glorioso's matchday squad for the 1-0 away win over Real Sociedad in La Liga. He has so far made only two league appearances for his new club and remained an unused substitute on five other occasions.

Too Good: Nana Ampomah - The 22-year-old registered his sixth league goal of the season as Waasland-Beveren beat Lokeren 2-1 in the Belgian top flight. He has made 17 league appearances involving 16 starts thus far.

Bad: Kasim Adams - Having played three consecutive games in all competitions for the first time for new club Hoffenheim, the centre-back could not take his tally to four on Sunday as injury forced him out of contention for a playing spot in the 1-1 draw with Mainz 05 in the German topflight. He joined Die Kraichgauer from Swiss side Young Boys in the summer

Good: Raphael Dwamena - After three months on the fringes, the striker finally returned to La Liga action for new club Levante as they fell to a 2-1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. A 78th-minute substitute, the game was his fourth league appearance for The Frogs.
