GHANA VS NIGER (1-1): BLACK STARS PLAYER RATINGS AND ANALYSIS. WHICH PLAYER WAS GOOD AND BAD?

from listening to the coach before after the game with Angola in Kumasi and last night against ner listening to the coach indicated that they had gone through rehearsals on how to defend free kicks Corner kicks defend areally protect your area they had done it severally but again same thing happened in our game last night I don't say there a problem but what I've seen in the black stars and I need to I need to commend The Defenders for once for once I'm sure you and I will agree on the fact that for once in a while now we had a black stars team play and you will struggle to blame the defensive line for mistakes or errors that were glaring on their part in a game against Angola I will commend Mohamad salisu he was Supreme when I say all this I said this based on one that for me is always when I'm watching black stars play body language on the pitch indicating level of commitment dedication and the will to want to die for the flag you are representing you are wearing when you see a player with that commitment level in their body language you see it and I saw that in Muhammad Talis over the weekend also last night against N I saw it you saw him trying to ensure that he puts his body on the line I'll say same for the two players you mentioned Al on the left side and tar lamp on the right side right side even though they look dtive as in nature their size they are small but you see total commitment and they are willing to put their body on the line the line yes look at T L for instance this kind of small boy so confident on the ball off the ball his runs were on point and and it was everything he was good same for and fortunately for he got his first go for the team from that wonderful strike strike right so even though he was playing on unfavored left side he was he right back but because of that sense of Gideon Baba and someone can TR on that side the coach felt let me try him on that side and I think that he didn't do bad phenomenal talking about s he didn't do bad on the left side and got a goal to cap it yester night was good for me and I commend them together with mum AB even though M made taking Kumasi with a was by Angola but I still commend him for stepping in in absence of jiku and putting in his all yesterday he wasn't poor as well but again I will say this having commented the defense this is where the issues are I'm raing the players and the team yeah defense if you ask me defense over 10 even though we considered a go against n I'll give a defense eight but I think they were Resolute in defending goalkeeper as didn't make so many saves there was not so many balls anywhere at him coming at him only a few of them so I can't give him so I can't I can't judge him so much because he didn't make so many St because there were not so many balls at a so a seven for is fair but Midfield is where I think I we creativity absolutely in that Midfield it is not it's not only about to their Club level it was more to do for me with uh players who have got everything within them if they want to do it but I am not doing it for reasons best known to themselves players who are so reluctant so reluctant and are not giving their all you require mention that salisu body language for me was key like I always say it is the body language that tells me whether whatever is happening on the field of play your commitment levels are high and if it's not going well for you it is you having a bad day which is normal in every sphere of life in every ever even for us in this institution or this this space media there are days who come on air and you clear know you're having a bad day because I'm not working the way you want it that's one is there it's granted but there are those days that you see people do their stuff and it's clearly out of lack of commitment yeah dedication to the course and I dare say this and I thr to the captain you a captain for a reason toas part you were a captain for a reason you must lead by example you play for Arsenal football club we watch you week in week out and we see how you play on the field of play the you see at us now is not break and pass p no I know what I'm talking about the P you see at us now it's not a break and pass when I say break and pass in football give me the ball I'll break the ball then I'll pass I'll pass it on little effort he's a playmaker not a playmaker break and pass I won't worry myself simple passes simple pass give me the ball thank you of but the AR we see at the part we see at Arsenal is player who progresses the ball as well takes the ball progresses the ball and looks for the passes in inside but against Angola in Kumasi we said maybe it was because of a bad pitch so they didn't want to kill themselves and get injured but they went to Morocco to play on that pitch in in beIN good pitch but again P was doing the same things a simple break and pass yeah and I won wor myself but one thing is that in our team mold play has always been key for the black stars over the years whenever you have a black stars team thriving and doing well it is because we've always had strong M that drive the team look at us the ones you had in the past yeah and mention the names from asan King them they get a ball and they drive the team forward but the P I watched a few years back for the Black Star not the same P I'm watching you know in the last two three games no and you have the armband for a reason like I said is it complacency that it's not complacency a clear case of lack of commitment it's serious dedication it's as simple as that and let's move forward we brought back you know ashim Maru mhm play has been out for quite was I can grant him that it was his first game back in the team so it didn't go well for him he and P were lacking creativity for the black stars yesterday because if in the middle they can't create for those who are up there then they those out there will struggle then take away those two who are not really pulling their strength p and aimu kudus now it's become clear to every te kind of takes on that mam is the main Danger man for the black stars so against Ang I no something in Kumi I was watching I was like whoa and there was a camera just set for for kudus so after the game I saw the visuals what Angola did with the coach pedal what he did with kudus was that he deployed one player on him exactly he did put one player on kudus throughout so whenever kudus had the ball the guy was with him and you know kud if you watch kud very very well K is a skillful player who wants to take the ball and dribble and do a few things do some so when he turns he wants to by the time you turn the players on you oneon-one face face so it made difficult for kudu to drive in a game in Kumasi and same last night kudus struggled but he had chances to score that's where I'm disappointed with Muhammad kudus for not getting those goals he had a few chances to score yesterday there was a clear one he was one1 with a goalkeeper a good flick over the goalie would have been a goal for Ghana but the keeper and the keeper made an easy save MH kudus our team maybe a six p and ashimaru for me was a 4.5 P 4.5 ashimaru maybe a five and then the men on the wings Abdul fat isaku you know I like you really like you your your your your progression with your career has been awesome and some of us are so happy to see you where you are in just three 3 years or so years have moved from a Ghana Premier League player with dreams FC to now playing in the English Premier League with Leicester tremendous growth for a career of a local player and I always say it's an example of what we say dreams can really happen for players who dream and dream and work at it but in the two games that we saw fat play for Ghana in Kumasi and also yester night in in Ang I mean moroko fat he didn't give us enough over over elaboration in Kumi here like our folks would say has the stardom gotten into his head will you say that because you know when they are young and up and coming it's different how everybody take stom it gets into you so much so but I don't want to think that he getting into his head because you're still too young you haven't really broken through yet yes your first in the EPL so why would T get into the head of this young man it should not and I think it's a not I don't want to believe I don't want to believe it is let me use my words now well I don't want to believe it's gotten into his head I want to believe it's just one of those things but if it's one of those things then I want to see an improvement because on a day when we were missing in Joseph pencil Osman bukari kamalin Su who are the other others who can rely on the wings they were missing them and you given a chance of play in a two matches T in the two matches you didn't show us that much faku rate you five then the man on the left side and I'm disappointed in my good brother and I love him for that though buted him antoan SE this was one player I was so in love with when he switched because when he came on the first few games he played for Ghana for about a year now you saw commitment dedication a player who when he's on will run would Chase every ball would drive every Defender will assist will score season begins in England Anan is in good form for bonemouth in the Premier League scoring go and an assist or for b e but in the last three games of Ghana Antoine's body language was as still I don't care I won't kill myself but Anne have watched over the years at his former clubs in bonmont and black when he joined initially will get the ball and his first instinct is let me run a Defender let me run at you he will come at you with pace but this time around he gets the ball anding with the ball so relx back so relaxed so relaxed in the game yesterday what was happening to Anan SEO what's happening I was like honestly Benghazi the game against n was the most boring game I was like what's happening no was hot no commitment dedication everything is missing the will to want to win it was missing was not there and then inaki Williams same old same old we fought for inaki Williams old Med know what it I a matter of he not adapting well or the team adapting to him I don't even know what it is again because that's what coach mentioned earlier that I don't know what is again because now he he had a chance they played him on I mean inaki a t like he's the one who wants to make runs yeah he runs into spaces for the ball but he's not given that kind of he made one he made a good run the pass was given to him he missed the ball earlier in the earlier the he miss that and he wasn't too also involved in the game I don't know what it is with I don't know if his language because he didn't speak English I don't know if Spanish boys also don't speak with him you know because communication I don't know I'm always asking question I don't know um language can't be a barrier because I'm sure they have their own way of they have their own way of communicating exactly so if you don't speak English and you don't speak Spanish how then are you able to communicate with them in the addess how are you able to we saw we see them at train and they all laughing so what is it that I don't know I'm just trying to get answers I don't know we have a problem clearly clearly inaki 2 I'll give him a five Jordan came on Thomas came on was came on they they didn't add much when they came in actually Jordan yes the effort will always be there going for the ball and it's something like let me tell it's something you can never take away from the you Brothers yeah unless you don't put once they in they may do things you don't like but once they on the field at least one thing you give them is that they they will show commitment and they want to play and give their all that you can always give that you brothers and Yan when he came yday you saw coming for the ball give me the ball let's let's give me the ball he was trying trying yeah so at least I'll give him for that and for Brandon Thomas Asante well you didn't see so much from him when he came on in the number 10 J anyway he came in number 10 J oh the guy has got is it guts to wear that kind of when I saw it I was like who you that to wear the number 10 J in the black I I don't know what it means now somebody has been called for quite a while now I don't know what it means with the 10 is now handed over to another player I don't know what it means whether nice that door shut for Andre are you in a team so they are moving on so anybody who want 10 he can now pick it and wear but he he went for it and he wore it anyway so I won't RIT I mean for those three who came on not much was seen from the three Jordan Brandon and then Elisha not much I won't rate any of them but clearly bottom line coach OT
