@Iamamanoa Put the same energy into criticizing the FA as well because we all know the actual problem. Even if we sign Pep as our manager those people will still find a way to make it fail
@tailorMARIQUE That's what I'm saying. The problem be the FA but people dey here and talking about the coach. And saying he's the reason these people cannot convert simple chances
@ajosgood@obiMpenaAustine How do you want him to implement his style? When we have players like Baba Rhaman still being pushed into the NT. You people should focus your energy on get the GFA admins sacked
These sports Journalist dey fit criticize everybody except the GFA prez. and the people who are actually causing the NT to fail. We all watch the match, we saw these "forwards" failing to convert clear cut chances. Talmbout the coach has traded attack for defense. Go and sleep

By the time ๐ฌ๐ญ Ghana appointed Carlos Queiroz, the Black Stars already had deep structural problems. No coach was going to overhaul this team in a few months.
The mistake many fans made was expecting Queiroz to become something he has never been.
His football has always been about organisation, discipline and tournament survival. Not attacking flair. Never.
So when Ghana defended better but struggled to create chances, it shouldn't have been a shock.
Jerome Opoku captured it perfectly after the Colombia defeat, telling me:
"We can defend, defend, defend but if we don't get that one goal to relieve pressure off the defense, then we can't succeed."
Exactly.
Ghana conceded just three goals in four World Cup matches, but scored only two despite having forwards like Antoine Semenyo, Jordan Ayew, Brandon Thomas-Asante, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Fatawu Issahaku.
That, my people, is no accident. It is the the trade-off for having the 73-year-old.
This isn't about blaming the forwards. Semenyo came into the tournament after arguably the best goalscoring season of his career. Brandon Thomas-Asante had earned a much bigger conversation about his role. Jordan Ayew often looked isolated. The issue wasn't simply personnel; it was the system.
And that system was exactly what Queiroz has built everywhere he has coached.
For me, he was the right man for a very specific job: stabilise Ghana, restore defensive credibility and guide us through the World Cup with respectability.
Mission accomplished.
But that's also why I don't think he should lead the next phase.
World Cup football and a qualifying campaign are different assignments.
The next Black Stars coach must build on the defensive foundation Queiroz has laidโbut also unleash one of Ghana's most exciting attacking generations in years.
Thank you, Carlos.
You did the job you were hired to do.
Now it's time for someone else to take this team forward. I'll be surprised if the GFA allowed him to take us into the future.

@BrightYawjoy@JoeMacoscos@garyalsmith@mypolytank Massa, you're telling me that professional players need training drills before they can progress the ball? We all watch the match oo bossu. The performance of the attackers has nothing to do with the coach. We saw Jordan failing to control the ball same for Inaki
@MikeChillax@garyalsmith And that's actually the only style that will help this team. If we try to open up and play against England or Croatia, them go fit score we like 200
