    JOHN BOYE is the only somehow EXPERIENCED PLAYER on defense.

  • he was not better than B. Gambo 10 years ago

    Wa-Senegal, I do agree to your point that the Black Stars defense need to be structured by Ghanaians football defense legends. But I TOTALLY disagree with you about the examples of Ghanaians football defense legends names tha ...

    AA MUST CONSULT DESAILLY, TONY YEBOAH AND ABEDI FOR ADVICE

  • MAHAMA KILLED MILLS 10 years ago

    GHANA only conceded three goals while scoring whopping 18 goals. That's is DEFENCE!!!! So go fuck yourself and stay in your hole.

  • PHOBIA-PHOBIA--Leeds 10 years ago

    Armah is talking sense and ur beloved coach AA must listen to this obvious weakness of the team.There are many kotoko fans who support everything AA does just because he was their idol.The same fans constantly abused the whit ...

    He is not talking any sense. He is one of these old Players who are having a hard time leaving the scene for the current crop of players to make their mark.

    You cannot use the Japan match as a yardstick to criticize the Bl ...

  • The Stallion 10 years ago

    Against Zambia, the defence did not leak at all.
    But although we were the highest scoring team in the qualifying, I believe we rather have problem with shooting or accuracy, for that matter.
    Our match today clearly shows we ...

  • Rasheed@Time 4 Appiah to be fired 10 years ago

    Appiah will fail you us and I will start laughing at you and your relatives(POW,MR.N Akwesi Appiah, and ugly and corrupt Nyantakyie).

  • The Stallion 10 years ago

    When we beat Zambia, you were nowhere to be found. Now that there is a slip, you are here with your comments.
    We'll go to Brazil, banker!

  • Mr.N 10 years ago

    OK Rasheed Ghana would make it to 2014 and tell the whole world now what would you do when it happens. Always betting on the wrong horse and getting egg in your face.

  • POW@Time 4 Herve Renard 2 be fired. 10 years ago

    Brother, swallow your pride and come lets back Appiah on to good success. We're one nation, one people with a common destiny towards Brazil. Shun those shambolic prophesies and thoughts of yours before you become like one of ...

    cant u see AA IS STRUGGLING. CONFUSED AND NEEDS HELP. WHY SUPPORT A DEAD HORSE TO WIN THE RACE? ARE U INSANE OR WAT?

  • FUFUO DADESEN 10 years ago

    ARMAH IS NOT PLAYING AGAIN AND NOT BLOCKING ANY NEW PLAYERS FROM MAKING THIER MARK. IT'S JUST HIS OPINION

  • GHFUO, change ur thinking 10 years ago

    WAT AR U AN SAMMY TALKING ABOUT? ANYTIME U HAVE MENSAH N BOYE AT THE BACK, THERE IS A PROBLEM. GO BACK AND WATCH ALL THE GAMES THESE 2 HAVE STARTED FOR GH SINCE AFCON 2012. WAT DO U MEAN BY 3 GOALS AGAINST? THE COACH NEEDS TO ...

  • Nyorkopio 10 years ago

    Your point is apt and very precise. One of the basic measurements of the defensive strength of a team lies in the number of goals conceded, compared to the goals scored. You are right on the button. Similarly, the oofensive p ...

    ...AND WHOM DID WE PLAY? LESOTHO, MALAWI, SUDAN, ZAMBIA? ARE R NOT SERIOUS. WE TOOK THESE DEFENDERS TO AFCON 12/13 N WAT HAPPENED? WE PLAYED ZAMBIA, TURKEY N NOW JAPAN. LOOK AT THE GOALS GH CONCEEDED?

    why the insult

  • MAHAMA KILLED MILLS 10 years ago

    GHANA faces Senegal in the playoffs.

  • Rasheed. 10 years ago

    Give us facts please .Mahama is also praying for you.

  • Kwame Poison 10 years ago

    Ask Abedi and Yeboah about the cause of this disaster or watch the video and judge whether Armah Senegal was the cause.If AA were in the team you might have shut up ur mouth.

  • Kwame 10 years ago

    Listen to what he is saying, there is truth in it.Why do people hate the truth like that.

  • pala 10 years ago

    Emmanuel Armah was part of the Black Stars defence in 1993 in germany when ghana were beaten 7:1

  • Nii Gbemi 10 years ago

    we were not beaten 7-1

  • Berto 10 years ago

    We can try 3 at the back with wingbacks on both sides like we did against the US in 2010...can't hurt to try

  • Cornell 10 years ago

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with the defense. We just didn't played well during the second half of the game. With Essein in the midfield, the defense will be fine with the likes of boye and vorsah.

  • Anokwale 10 years ago

    Ghanaians panic too much!!! The entire team was bad in the second half. Simple. Work on it and move on. It was a a painful loss but one to learn from. We can now see who is good and who is not. For instance, we now know ...

  • Kofi - USA 10 years ago

    IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION WHY NOT TELL US. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS. JUST SHUT UP AND STOP BRAGGING. THE DEFENSE IS FINE. HOW MANY GOALS DID WE CONCEED IN THE QUALIFYING. ONLY THREE. SO WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

  • kwaku 10 years ago

    Where is Jerry? the coach needs to consider bringing him back. You must know that it is the child who goes to the river to fetch water who breaks the pot!!!

  • Asafo Kwame Sowah 10 years ago

    Remember how a coach made Baffour a central defender from right back because of his height? Yes we have to do something about this. We must first learn to defend before we attack because if you score 10 goals and your opponen ...

    So wat kwasi appiah is not going to coach the stars forever.. we all know this..he should humble himself to accept assistance from master tactician b4 the worldcup.. he is not all that and we know it

  • GGGG 10 years ago

    Armah's type of defence is exactly what John Boye plays. Opeele Aboagye wasn't any better either. They both erratic and lacked technical ability. None of them can help the present crop. If anything then Joe Addo and Frimpong ...

    Opeele,Armah,F.Manso,Joe Addo,Awuley, Frank Amankwah,Isaac Acquaye etc.were all good materials.But the question of identifying the weakness of a department of a team would not rest on whether Mr.A was a good player at a giv ...

    You are right. Smart coaches are adaptable. They can choose the right players at any given time, and also pick the right mix of formations to play various teams. At the end of the day, it is the outcome of games played agains ...

    Sampson Lamptey was the best defender in Libya When we won in 1982. Joe tex odoi is the only Ghana defender to win footballer of the year.These are the Guys that need to coach our defense .

  • Nii Gbemi 10 years ago

    Please don't lie

  • pala 10 years ago

    as much as i agree that the defence has a problem, much of the problem to can be attributed to the faulty passing, poor ball control, slow on the ball by the players deployed in midfield. that put a lot of preasure on the def ...

    We need Mensah badly.Boye is good but he cannot control the defence.He cant read the game and give diectives to his defencemen as Mensah used to do. Above all Mensah is strong and experienced in defence,so the earlier we reca ...

    john mensah is the same age as essien and as things stands now we need him once more to help us achieve in the worldcup .. essien is not playing now so is he .. don't write him off like that he is still young.

  • GHFUO, change ur thinking 10 years ago

    WHY CANT GHPPL MOVE ON? IF WE HAD PLAYERS LIKE SEEDORF, BAPTISTA, RONALDINHO, GIGGS. WE WILL STILL BE CRYING FOR THM=EM TO PLAY FOR BSTAR. WHY? JOHN MENSAH, STEPHEN APPIAH, OLELE, PAINSTIL, DEREK BOATENG ARE ALL DONE PLAYING ...

    I've said it many times before the Zambia encounter that our coaches need to upgrade. It's as simple as that. Some of us, esp. the GFA, are just funny; we tend to think that we're better than anyone in this world. We ain't se ...

    I hope our comments are taken serious. The Zambian game wasn’t impressive to me. Ghana’s style of play over the years have been short passes and possession. The air balls are too much. It is rightly said, our defense has ...
