Abagna that was a nice article. The fact of the matter is, we are not going any way in our world cup qualifiers with AA at the helm of affairs. He is tactically bankrupt and cannot manage the team. I actually do not know the criteria in which he was selected, but I suppose coaches are selected based on the merit. AA has no record. He has never handled a club before, either locally or internationally. This is a guy who severed under4 foreign coaches, yet he cannot put talented players together. Ghanaians want to know under what circumstances is GFA sending AA abroad for a course? The position of the Black Stars coach should be open to the most qualified person. Why are they denying that? Also, what precedence are they setting for us. Are they saying that we should reward AA for not performing? We want the corrupt GFA staff to answer that.

WE re talking of countries and u say Nigeria. even if u win the world cup that would not change the impression of people about Nigeria. The only thing u can boast of in terms of being better than Ghana is body odour, crime(origin of 419), bad education system, asylum seekers anywhere in the world just to change their identity. which country in this world would gladly accept nigeria to stay in their country.

WHEN GHANA HAS A NEUTRAL QUALITY WITHOUT TRIBALISTIC MINDED COACH WHO HAD CLIMBED THE LEATHER OF FOOTBALL COACHING AND ACQUIRED THE MODERN FOOTBALL COACHING SKILLS TO BE ABLE TO READ THE GAME AND ADJUST THE STYLE OF PLAY. MR. APPIAH IS NOT THE MAN. AFTER YEARS AS AN ASSISTANT COACH, HE SIMPLY DESTROYED THE BS. A DEAD HORSE IS A DEAD HORSE. WHY RACE A DEAD HORSE AGAIN AND THINK IT IS GOING TO WIN. WHAT DO YOU SEE IN APPIAH TO BELIEVE HE HAS THE BRAIN TO IMPROVE THE BS. TO GIVE HIM 5,10,20 YEARS EXPERIMENTATION. THE BS WAS NOT DEAD WHEN HE TOOK OVER AS THE COACH. HE WAS EXPECTED TO IMPROVE THEIR PERFORMANCE NOT TO BUILD A NEW BS. HE SELECTED THESE LOCAL PLAYERS BECAUSE HE FELT COMFORTABLE TO CONTROL THEM RATHER THAN THE EXPERIENCED OVERSEAS GHANA PLAYERS HE WAS AFRAID OF OR FELT INFERIOR TO COACH BECAUSE HE NEVER REACHED THAT LEVEL OF ACCOMPLISHMENT. MR. DESALLY HAS THAT ACCOMPLISHMENT AND WILL GAIN THAT RESPECT AS THE NEW GHANA COACH. AS FOR MR. APPIAH, HE NEEDS TO BE ASIGNED TO THE LOCAL BLACK STARS DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO TRAIN THE MIGHTY BLACK STARS.

Ghana need to change it`s attitude before it can win African cup of nations. You can not just put yourself into favourite team to win the tournament when you have no team. Our peformance at the recent ended cup of nations shows how weak ghana is. I pray to God that, we will be able to qualify for the world cup. Frankly speaking, I will not be surprised if Ghana fail to make it to world cup. As I know now, Ghana has no good coach or or a well organize team to be able to make it to any majore tornament. We have no striker or skeeper to connect any useful pass. without this skillful players, how can we make it? tell me.

No country will progress in this era if it accomodates sloppiness in the name of self-empowerment. The coach is the leader of the team and a leader largely determines the behaviour of his team on and off the pitch. The behavoiur of our team as an purposeful organism with all its working parts failed the crucial functionality test on the pitch. If you maintain a striker who can have 3 one-on-one situation and score NONE from it, how do you say the striking department functioned? the same goes to the defense department which seems to always struggle with an opposition who will cleverly change the tempo of game in order to drill just a shot. Here. we sometimes panic and help them make those drills into goals. From the team selection, team preparedness and tactically organisation to the very unit/player level, the coach fluffed it.
