    If only Muntare and KPB cn make us win then just forget.Who wants an infectious indiscipline folk on his team to incite the other players to disobey.

    they were practising in Spain so they had no stamina in E Guinea

  • The Stallion 10 years ago

    5-3-2 and 4-3-3 is used by teams that have good defenders. Why can't this coach understand this simple thing?

    Even if you look at the EPL, it is only Chelsea and Man City that use the formation.
    If you have bad defenders ...

    Avram Grant need to do a better job in convincing his critics WHY this formation is better than the others and that with time it will produce the desired results. He seems unable to clearly articulate this. Can anyone help hi ...

  • malata 10 years ago

    The coach is si stupid that he hasn't figured that you CANNOT use 352 when you have 3 weak defenders. You need to use 442 period. That is what they are used to; that is what Rahevac was successful with, etc. I can't believ ...

  • I WAS SURPRISE 10 years ago

    To me 352 formation is the safest for mation.You must pack the midfield with 5 players an psyche them to behave as defenders or the whole playing body but the two laterals will always sweep the lines to either join the defend ...

    Why did you send these black maiden to AFCON in the first place?As i always say,the dead bodies of Sulley,Essien,Kwadwo Asamoah,John Mensah,Isaac Vorsah,Inkoom and the rest are much more better than these idiots

  • John Edwards 10 years ago

    The best for Ghana team is 4-2-3-1or 4-3-3. Take Atsu and Rabiu off from the field, they make me sick bring someone who is ready to play. Please try Baba Rahman in the middle and put Afful left Gyimah right back.

    NOT A MATTER OF 3-5-2 BUT THE PERFORMANCE ALL THE PLAYER'S NON OF THEM DID WELL JUST MENTION ONE PLAYER NON, COMPARES THIS CURRENT PERFORMANCE TO KWASI APPIAH U SEE THE CLEAR DIFFERENCE, SHOULD WE SACK HIM TOOOOO

  • Anokwale 10 years ago

    Grant should not be treated with kid gloves. If he cannot get this team out of the group he should be fired. This is quite simple. The second half was a sign of a coach who did not say much to his players at the half time.

  • malata 10 years ago

    I Agree with you. Failure to get out of the group stage should mean an immediate termination of his contract. What a disgrace he is to Ghanaians. We could have built an elementary school or a rural clinic instead of giving ...

    Compare Manchester United and Liverpool's 3-5-2 system to what Avram Grant played against Senegal and you will see that AG tactic was more like 7-3-0. Three central defenders and two full backs plus two defensive midfielders ...

    If Senegal started with that and had to vary formation during the game why didn't you do same? The so-called experienced coach didn't see top.

  • sulley 10 years ago

    If this man defends his 3-5-2 tactics, then he is not good to be a coach in this 21st Century. Every good trainer adopts attacking football tactics. And moreover,every good trainers has more than one plan for a game.If plan A ...

    Do it your self is far better than hiring some one to do it for you. For Grant is all about the money, but for AA his whole soul was in it for his beloved country.

    Can you honestly tell me you'd have had the same stance if coach AA or Maxwell had been in charge at the tourny? Do you use a tourny to try a formation?

    This is not 3 5 2 . this look lyk 5 3 1 1. bcoz, he played 5 tipical deffenders with natrual wings and 4 midfielders and 1 forward. this look like we are deffending.
