Screw the coach and screw Ghana - When you do well Ghana does well. Put your interest first; not corrupt Ghana.

We have coaches,kings,presidents ,CEO's Etc. for a reason.Otherwise there will be an Acephalus situation which always breeds chaos. Agyemang Badu got it right and as such he will go places,!! Muntari should learn from that.

This is an excellent strategic approach it would interesting to see how it compares to coach Appiah's overall strategy when he considers other factors we don't know.

I assume you would be using a 4-2-3-1 formation with Badu and Rabiu as the defensive midfielders and the three attacking midfielders being Wakasso, Adomah and Atsu. I guess you would use Majeed as the lone striker? Might work if Atsu and Adomah can handle it. I worry about Atsu at times.

Are you picking Adormah over Andrea as the right midfield attacker? I like your formation though because I can see it would work better than the 4-4-1-1 formation Christopher Opoku predicted.

With your formation, the 4-2-3-1 though, I would prefer pairing Wakaso with Rabiu at the defensive midfield though given Wakaso the room to push a little forward when attacking.

The three in front on these two, I will prefer Andrea at right, Kevin in the middle and Kwedwo Asamoah at the left. This will make Kevin as the second attacker behind our main striker, Asamoah Gyan.

At defense, I will try Essien at the right full-back so that when he can't handle it, we will have the time and chance to change him. This would be better than bringing him from bench and he can't perform. When it comes in as a substitute, we can't change him when his performance is not up to the task.

Allow Harrison Afful to play from the left full back. Pair John Boye and Awal or Jonathan Mensah at the heart of the defense.

I think we should our players and what they can do.

The team is set for battle.

Listen, we don't need to wait for any tide and then have to 'turn the tide around'. We must start with the best and kill off the opposition right away. Avoid having to come from behind, at all costs.

In the past two years, Ghana has struggled with a defensive midfielder. Agyeman Badu was the best alternative however, he preferred to play in the number 8 and 10 position because Essien and Kevin-Prince Boateng were away. Kwasi Appiah made a very terrible mistake by using Derek Boateng, a player who has NEVER played in the position. That is why Ghana lost to Zambia twice in Gabon and Ndola. Agyeman Badu KNEW that the problem was in defensive midfield. BUT he never tried to help in the defensive midfield. He rather sought to play in offensive midfield. Now, he is an offensive midfielder. He has to rub shoulders with Essien, Ayew, Boateng and Kwadwo Asamoah. The defensive midfield is taken. So he has to contend with the position of third sub for any of those two roles he has envied all this while.

Essien should rather be dropped; he is finished and new blood should be injected into the team.

We are not at the training grounds, I believe AA and his men will do a good job and select the best eleven to start the game.

Is Agyeman Badu new blood?

And what has new blood got to do with experience? Did you see Lukaku's penalty miss?

It's the likes of you, with that level of maturity and common sense, who should be entrusted with the role of captaining the Black Stars and becoming a role models for other players.

It's just a pity older more experienced players like Sulley Muntari can't adopt similar professional, disciplined and sensible attitudes.

I think Nana Akuffo Addo is taught us all to put our parochial interest secondary to the national interest. It is my desire that this sacrificial spirit will be a movement that will blosom and engulf the whole nation. Agyeman Badu has cught up with that and l believe the other players will follow suit. Thanks Nana Agyeman.

Badu,i would have preferred you to selecting Essien but the coach knows better than all. Yes, great players like Rooney and A.Gyan(in Turkey) come from the bench to do wonders.Just take it easy.
