Someone commented last week about how Atsu lacked ambition and wasn't serious and I think they had it right. Atsu is turning out to be a disappointment.He acts as if he has already arrived.He doesn't show any desire to move on to the next level of his game.I think we should drop him permanently after this tournament. Coach Grant must be allowed to begin rebuilding the next generation of Blackstars.

Atsu shows movement and gets attention but cannot seem to finish well. It is time to give Wakaso more time than Atsu. I believe Wakaso is more of a real scoring threat.

This kid has been talking too much but does little on the field. Atsu and Badu aor over confident and should be brought from the bench.

So what if Atsu had a rough match, I didn't see any player stepping up or taking their game pass the average.Stop trying to single out players for blame.GOD KNOWS THEY ARE TRYING THEIR BEST.

Atsu is turning out to become like Adiyah. He was given several chances but could not perform. Atsu is a bench warmer who shouldn't be in the team in the first place but he's not maximixig his chances.

Black stars players were doing aluta at world cup. Demanding $100,000 in cash when some of them earn £90,000 a week. They collected their £100,000 but forgot that tomorrow they will have to come for another tournament. This Afcon, the support is not there. No body cares. The articles are getting 40 to 50 comments when in past tournaments they were getting 200 plus! They have given the fans broken heart and now people are not supporting them. We are on our way home!! 1st round exit!!

Atsu is going to be a key part of the next generation so he should not be dropped. The ones on their way out are Essien, Muntari, KPB et al.
All Atsu needs is the "fire in the belly" as you put it. He is good, but he thinks he is better than he actually is and thats his problem. All the hype early in his career when he was playing in a cheap league has gone into his head. He needs to be brought back to square one. He is good, but he is not as good as he seems to think he is. However, having said all that, I believe he is key to the next generation of players. It is him, Andre and Jordan (who I do not like very much but he will keep improving with maturity), Solomon Asante and co who are the next generation. Kwadwo Asamoah, Agyeman Badu and co should now be the elder statesmen, KPB Muntari, Essien and co phased out, we shouldnt go back to those old boys.

I believe they are going to do well in the next two matches to qualify. Like is happened in 2010 afcon, I see something like that occurring in this one too. The chances we had in the Senegal match and could take advantage of them, these young men are going to right their wrongs.

Folks don't forget that things like this usually happen to us s lot in our tournaments. I recall Ivory Coast beat us 3-1 or so in a similar tournament. 2006 WC, Italy beat us 2-1 in a our opening match. We came back with all and qualified to the second round. WC 2014 for instance, if it wasn't that appearance fee saga, we would have been able to beat Portugal and qualify. Look at the way we handle Germany, the eventual champions? Who would have thought we were capable of going all the way with Germany?

Changes have to be made to the formation and the striking force has to be a little sharp and we will be there. 4:4:2, the Ghanaian old style should be applied. Play Afriyie Aquah and Agyeman Badu in the heart of the 4 midfielders, allow Wakaso to take the left wing for Adrea to the the right wing. In front of them, since Gyan is now available to take his position and his captainship band, he should be paired with Jordan. One thing is Jordan should be warn not to waste opportunities because this is a match I think he could score more than two goals for a simple reason that Asamuah Gyan would be close marked by the Algerians.

One of our best option here is to play the best midfielders we have in the team and make Andrea the play-maker behind Gyan since they combined so well in a 4:4:1:1 formation this way. For this option, for the fact that Rabiu has one yellow card already, keep him on the bench and use Agyeman Badu and Afriyie Aquah in the middle of the midfielders. Play Wakaso at left flank and Atsu at the right wing. At the back 4, we can use the same 4 with the exception of Awal handing over to John Boye. Brimah should once again mount between the sticks and I bet you a win against Algeria.

Foolish paradox, be it known that in 2010, The defending champions, Italy, never came out of the group stage. Where is Nigeria now? Do u think globally ZAMBIA is a football giant than Nigeria because nigeria is absent and ZAMBIA is playing in the Afcon? Good for you. Hope to see u at the World Cup qualifiers. Never qualified. THAT CURSE IS STILL UPON ZAMBIA

Jose M.will not spend money on a play and loan him if the player is good,so simply Atsu its not a good player.Jose M will sell him next season.This is the useless black star team i have ever seen in my whole life but thanks to asoamoah gyan and akwasi appiah for just destroyed a team that stephen appiah used his strength to build since 2006.Asoamoah gyan wants fame by himself so he removed all the big players from the team and always he will say i prefer playing with the young ones,so it has surely landed him very well by playing with the young ones.

Atsu is a useless player, big mouth, empty words. Apkle is what he knows not forgetting keta school boys. no crosses, no dibbling, no well built figure, no goal scoring, so what can you do?
