Appiah's arrogance and ignorance has cost Ghana and not the players on the field!!
His selections from the very beginning was flawed!
The very moment you send inexperienced players of this magnitude to the field, you have to know that you are going to over stretch the experience ones to become tired early---hence the outcome of this game! Our mid-field was very lapsed from the very beginning!

In tournaments like this, you neeed experienced and seasoned players to do the job. A team is built over a long period. The debutants were swallowed up in the game. They never knew where they were for most of the period of the game. Appiah can't lead us to qualify for the world cup. He's not cut for the job.

Coach you were right there and couldn't tell the boys not to be so casual about the game. Too many chances to score several goals were wasted. Were the boys lacking motivation. I didn't see any seriousness in our striker Asamoah Gyan.

Playing Kwadwo Asamoah and Christian Atsu in wrong position caused them not to shine. Return them to their position of comfort to get the best out of them.

The midfield didn't work well at all. When we were 2 goals up why didn't you beef up the midfield to strengthen the defence? John Boye and Jonathan Mensah should play in central midfield in the next game because they understand each other best. You did not deliver in our first match coach but I seriously think the team was briliant except you fail to deliver tactically.

The game was not varried to reflect coaching response to the proceedings. The boys played virtually the same type of game without responding to threats from the other side. When we were 2 goals up why didn't they slow the pace of the game in order to have better control of the game and dictate the pace of the game the Barcelona and Manchester United way because we were up and were supposed to be frustrating them but we gave them all the room to come at us. The boys were good but you the coach was poor. SHAME!!!

Tell the boys the days of slow starting of matches are over. This is the tournament for God's sake not a friendly match. For the first 15 to 30 minutes the stars could not just get well into the game and their casual unserious approach made a lot of us angry. Were they not motivated and psyched for the match. What a dissapointment of a coach you are. Were some issues behind the scene troubling the stars? Ghanaman will always ask for more money and that we are very aware of.

It was a dissapointing technical performance. I think the boys are good but they are failing to show the world how they can put their talents together to win a match. I am not sure they are the favourites people think they are. Lackadaisical attitude displayed in attack and during the start of the game makes me wonder if the stars are really hungry for the trophy. Pathetic!!!!!!

We played 4-5-1 yet could not dorminate midfield. The reaon was that players like Derek are not creative enough and would dribble a lot to no fruition. When u analyse the game properly, you would notice Chritian Atsu, Albert Adomah and Wakaso were poor and could not gel in the midfield with Badu and Derek. My boy K Asamoamoah was played out of his comfort zone. Ghana is not Juventus as he plays as a wind back and very effective there because he always have great players like pirlo etc to bring him into play. Adomah is not blackstars quality. Kepper was very attentive and good, defence was poor.
My selection will be as follows againgst Mali

Dauda
Paintsil JBoye Vorsah Afful
Badu Annan Derek Atsu
KAsamoah
AsamoahDjan
4-4-1-1 would be ideal for us.

Good luck with our next game cos it would be tough. Mali look solid and disciplined.

"the boys exhibited tactical indiscipline which cost us."

I want Appiah to learn from this mistake and stop blaming the players for his poor plositioning of the players. We have defenders there who are capable in handling the defensive job. It is about time he leaves that to the players. Kwedwo Asamoah, Appiah is saying is a utility player, is not true because Kwedwo Asamoah can't play the right full back position and also the right wing position. Therefore, how could he become a utility player? Kwedwo doesn`t even know how to tackle so could he be classified as a utility player?

The players relaxed in the game thery were leading by two goals. When the changes were made an unfit player was used to substitute a fit but tired player. When he recognized that Derrick was tired, Wakaso could have been dropped to the number 6 position and could have been able to support a real left full back player positioned there # 3, since he can play either 3 or 6 position. Kwedwo should be moved to his confortable position to support the striker and Atsu who could play the left wing effevtively. Leave the defenders to play their positions and allow the midfielders to play their position too.

We could still win this tournament because so far, all the teams peformances don't have any extraordinary strategies to them. Unless they too didn´t perform well as we did not.

Akwasi or Akwaesi Appiah have lost the confidence I Malik and other Ghanaians have in him by dropping the Ayew Brothers for obvious payback reasons of Senegal '92 row with Abedi Pele. My advice to him is that it cant help his coaching cause. To my surprise he has his favorites in the team like Harrison Afful who is a nonentity when it comes to quality players. The coach is a slow poison as I can see from afar that he terribly hate the Ayew family but he is not God. God forgive the coach for his revenge on an issue of twenty (20) years ago. Fly high Dede and Jordan and when your time comes dont revenge against Awaesi's children bcs u are all blessed already.

I BELIEVE IN MY ANCESTORS.
EVERYONE SHOULD LIFT METAL LIKE AKAMINKO. AA, THIS IS GOING TO BE A DISCIPLINED AND PHYSICAL TOURNAMNT.
LETS USE THE FIRST 3 GAMES TO TIGHTEN OUR DEFENCE. NO GOALS AGAINST. ALL WE NEED ARE THE FULL 3 POINTS.
JUS BEAT UR OPPONENTS BY 1 GOAL N DO NOT CLAIM ANY GOALS
THE TEAM IS NOT DISCIPLINED. LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF CARDS GH RECEIVED AGAINST DR CONGO?
NO COMPLACENCY/TIRI MU D3, PLS....

MENTALITY!
AA MUST TAKE HEED TO MY ADVICE IF HE WANTS TO LIFT THE TROPHY
1. Get your tactics right
2. keep clean sheets in every single game.
3. STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a tournament.
4. Make sure youR TEAM N PLAYERS are disciplined
5. Treat your players with respect. motivated all the players like their big brother.
6. Get the best out of your most talented players. THEY MUST PUT IN MORE WORK. MORE TRAINING, MORE LIFTING METAL
7. Don't complain about the facilities
8. TRUST EACH OTHER
9. SIMPLICITY AND SPEED WINS. TRUST ME...!!!
BREAK AND PASS SOCCER, 2/3 TOUCHES PER PLAYER AT ALL TIMES. TRIANGLE OFFENSE/ATTACK
10. DO AWAY WITH COMPLACENCY/TIRI MU D3, PLS....U HAVENT WON THE TROPHY YET, SO WHY ARE U RELAXING WITH A BIGHEAD?

THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEREK ARE VERY SIMPLE...
A. BREAK/STOP ATTACKING ADVANCES OF OPPONENTS INTO THE GH HALF
B. RELEASE THE BALL TO THE WINGERS OR THE $TRIKERS AND REST. I REPEAT, NO BACK PASSES!
THIS ISNT WAT DEREK WAS DOING. HE WAS CAUGHT TRYING TO BE A STAR ON THE FIELD. HE RARELY TRIES TO STOP OPPONENTS ATTACKS INTO THE GH HALF.
ON THE OCASSION THAT HE DOES, DEREK IS SEEN HOLDING UNTO THE BALL LIKE HE THINKS HE IS MARADONNA OR MESSI. IDIOT, JUST WIN THE BALL AND PASS IT
I TOLD U TO LEAVE DEREK ALONE. NOW U SEE?
ASAMOAH GYAN:
GYAN IS A FOOLISH STRIKER. HE HAS NO KILLER INSTINCT INFRONT OF THE NET. ANY STRIKER WHO CANT SMELL BLOOD INFRONT
OF THE NET IS USELESS, IMPOTENT STRIKER!
WHY ARE THE NAMES ON THESE FOOLISH TYE N DYE PUMA JERSEYS IN SMALL CAPS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY? GFA, DID PUMA GIVE US A DISCOUNT TO HVE
OUR NAMES IN SMALL LETTERS OR NOT? ATROCIOUS JERSEYS FROM PUMA. AFCON HAS TURNED INTO A PUMA FASHION SHOWCASE....FOOLISH GFA!

This coach is as clueless as a headless chicken. Up 2 goals and you still try to play an open game. You close all gaps at that point and force gyan to hold the ball up. His refusal to call Quincy Owusu Abeyie will show big time just like the previous tourney. People screaming for KA to be moved to the midfield area must not watch any Juve games. This position brings the best of out KA because there is less attention on him at all times. Play DBOAT in the AM role and move atsu to the right mid/wing position( let him sub in for adomah or vice versa). Throwing that boy in that position in his AFCON debut was a huge mistake. Even a toddler wld know this. To get past Mali Atsu and KA are going to be our strongest links due to the jitteryness and ability to take defenders on. Playing a very physical game vs Mali would be very hard for our guys so simple passing and using the flanks should be our go to option. As far as defense someone needs to tell Paintsil to be calm on the ball and stop ballooning the ball up whenever he gets it. knock the ball around and find open guys not those high balls that he kept sending in. Akaminko was simply nervous and you could tell. He's another guy that needed to be eased in slowly. Ghana has the personnel to get the job done but it seems like the job always falls into the wrong hands. With all these fire-power/household names that we have, we got these incompetent coaches wasting our freaking time.

I have always maintained that, coaches don't win games, but players do.
However, in technical terms, the coach is blameable since he has identified the lackluster performance of the GBS as due to "tactical Indiscipline" on the part of the players.

Suffice it to say, if the coach have accepted the performance as 'tactical indiscipline, my reservation is that his substitution-methods were suspicious.

Whilst 'Tactical Indiscipline' takes its root from the coach, 'Loss of focus' is laid at the footstep of the players.

To me therefore, the coach fell short in his deliberations. His actions helped players not too smart.

Where do we lay the blame?

Our conscious visit to the drawing board is very vital at this point before our encounter with Mali, else "basabasa besi".

Abdul, we would all like a local coach but we should not accept substandard work just because the coach happens to be black. Our objective should be getting a ghanaian coach but we should do our homework - improve training facilities, building new stadia, improving conditions for our players so they are not desperate to leave our countryetc etc. Then we need proper training for our coaches. England realised they were falling behind other European coaches so they are doing something about it - building a new ultra-modern coaching centre etc. We have to do our homework

Coach Appiah, please we need Anthony Annan, Agyemang Badu,Kwadwo Asamoah and Wakaso or Derek to constitute a strong midfield for the Black Stars. There was no midfield for Ghana in yesterday's game. Get Kwadwo Asamoah out of that defensive role and let him come and dribble and create in the midfield just as he did in CAN 2012 in Angola

Brother, i agree with you, how can the coach play a creative player like Kwadwo Asamoah in defence, this coach is not thinking, any time Kwadwo moves forward, it brings about a goal,agaist Egypt, he gave the last pass to yiadom that brought the goal, against congo he gave the last pass to Badu, yet this STUPID coach decide to put him in defence.

What ever tactics the team had didn't show so there was no tactics, OK. It seems the team is counting on set pieces so the players forget tackling and ball possession. Also, what are Pantsil, Gyan and Boateng doing? Pantsil can't tackle or initiate attack. He could not connect with the midfield and the right winger, not once. Gyan is slow and uncomposed. It is shocking that Gyan, a "top striker", can only shoot with his inside foot and can't anticipate and recover a pass placed behind him infront of goal. It seems Boateng was the defensive midfielder but the central midfielder at the same time and he failed at both. These three players confused the other players, like Astu and Wakaso who need to possess the ball. The coach should give the team a simple tactic, one that fit the players he selects next time. Ball possession and tackling should be improved because it put the opponent under pressure and create scoring and set piece opportunites the team is looking for.

You rushed to submit your team list when you had more than 5 days to do that.

Kwadwo Asamoah is a mid-fielder so far as Juventus FC is concerned. He tried his best at left back. This is a guy who joins his team strikers (at Juventus) to score goal. It seems Mr Head Coach you could not read the game.

Good luck to you and the boys. It is a must to win the next game, if not the Blackstars are out of the tournament.

Ghana, Nigeria and Ivory coast are arrogant. I am a Nigerian: a west african. If west africa must win the cup, we must stop thinking we are Lords over the rest of africa. Some Ghanaians thought Ghana was a world class Team that could beat any team any day. This is wrong. On our radio station in lagos today, some callers have started predicting that Nigeria will defat Burkina faso by 5-0; what a show of arrogance. Ivory coast is seen as winners of afcon 22013 even before they kick the ball. this is arrogance. Ghanaians, Nigerians, ivorians should know that the Teams they have been under-rating will be the ones that will bundle them out. Some people are vblaming AA for playing 2-2 with DRC but they failed to note that DRC could have won as they were the better Team. Even if you had included the ayew brothers. African football is changing and we will see soon(afcon and world cup qualifiers).To me AA is a good coach even if some Ghanaians would want to disagree with me: he needs more time .

Tactical error by a dubious coach with his tie up like a high school girl. The left back was weak and was always outrun by the Congo right winger throughout the second half. The coach had no clue.

How do you expect a mediocre to have a clue about tactical issue ? Ghanaians ain't seen anything yet. Trust me, this useless coach has already failed to qualify Ghana for the upcoming world cup.

Well done coach. The Stars seized the game by the throat early. That is exactly what we need. Make the needed adjustment to maintain that choke hold until the final whistle sounds in subsequent games. This outcome in the first game is good for the mentality of the Stars. Better to wake up early to this reality than later on when there might not be time to adjust. Great job Coach. Keep it up!! The AFCON cup is making its way home to Ghana. Stars are on course!!!

Ghana has a big head. We hype ourselves and fall easily to false praises. When Congolese coach, Claude Leroy, stated that Ghana will win the tournament the Coach Appiah should have realized the psychology in the statement. Appiah should tell the media that Ghana is the underdog because we have lots of players who don't have the African Cup experience.

I was reluctant to cite kwesi appiah as the cause for the drawn game, but with him openly admitting that it was due to technical indiscipline, i lay the blame squarely in his court. What was he supposed to do on the touchline as a coach when he noticed our charges were beginning to relax after the two goal lead? All in all we've a great team.

As a professional this coach should put the interest of the nation above any personal hatred he may have for any player. The absence of Dede Ayew was clearly felt. This coach has really messed up and we must all pray that it doesn't get worse. This coach must be fired after Afcon.

GHANAIANS SHOULD LEARN TO APPRECIATE THE OPPONENT,IF WE TO CHECK THE ARCHIVES OF AFRICAN FOOTBALL DR CONGO IS STRONG SOCCER NATION AND IS ONE COUNTRY WE CANNOT CLAIM ABSOLUTE SUPERIORITY WE MAY HAVE A SLIGHT UPPERHAND OVER THEM THEY ARE NOT A SIDE TO BE TOYED WITH.LOOKING AT THE WAY THE GAME WENT THE STARS NEED TO BE COMMENDED THAN CONDEMNATION,I WASS ONE PERSON NOT ENTHUSED WHEN, I SAW THEM IN OUR GROUP,MY ONLY ADVICE TO THE TEAM IS TO CUT DOWN ON THEIR CELEBRATION WHEN THEY SCORE, WITH A LITTLE TACTICAL DISCIPLINE WE SHALL OVERCOME.

I don't just understand by the term "Tactical Indiscipline" Can someone help me. Akwesi is clueless and doesn't understand what he is talking out. "Tactical" and "indiscipline" are two words that should not be combined. Akwesi was not tactical and the boys were not disciplined. I said from day one that it was a mistake appointing him. Disgraceful.
