Any reason why the GFA couldn't hire both? Hughton as the Head Coach, Addo as an Assistant Coach primarily in charge of talent ID. Let Hughton have the top job until the end of the next World Cup cycle, with Addo learning under him, then Addo takes the top job. Grow your own.
Chris Hughton or Otto Addo?
Who do you want as your new Black Stars 🇬🇭 coach and why?

11 for the World Cup. Toughest decision was Kyereh or Dede Ayew, honestly I don’t mind who plays. Kudus drifting into the right half-space, Lamptey overlapping. Kyereh/Dede left half-space, Kamaldeen & Gideon flexing on the left. Iñaki leading the line.

Ghana have several players with these traits. They just play on potato fields when they come to international duty, so dribbling becomes a battle with the pitch & the opponents, with any action off the dribble being rendered totally unpredictable by an unforeseen bobble.
What if we had managed to get Nico Williams to play for Ghana? He’s all I want in a winger; relentless, pacy, unpredictable, spontaneous, skillful and impactful 🥲

Y'day, Conte said Inter's 3-5-2 shape was "a more attacking evolution of the old 4-2-4." The old 4-2-4 was attacking & flexed between a 3-4-3, 3-5-2 & 3-3-4 on ball. Many of those latter formations are associated with Conte. What about his Inter team is more attacking? (THREAD)

Richard Ofori is the third choice for his club. Barely played since 2021. Hasn’t played this season. Lost his explosiveness & was shakey even at his peak. Picked because he’s “never let Ghana down” despite the fact that was mostly 4+ years ago. Poor all tournament.

GFA continues to be an absolute farce. Can’t get a squad named less than two weeks before the *WORLD CUP QUALIFYING PLAYOFFS*, because a group of poorly qualified executives haven’t had the chance to push their players in yet.
Per the programme outline of the Black Stars, the squad was handed to the Management C'ttee this week and was expected to be announced on Thursday after the c'ttee meeting.
Alhaji Grunsah confirms the meeting couldn't happen. Management will likely meet early next week.

I said y'day I'd go into more detail about what LAC did to limit KC. The thread linked in this tweet discusses briefly where Mahomes & KC are most threatening & why. In short: over the middle b/c Reid lines up his best guys to attack it & loves deep over routes. LAC shut it down.
I’m fairly certain that Robert Saleh will be on the phone to Gus Bradley regarding the Chiefs. Bradley’s defense did an extremely good job limiting the Chiefs’ weapons on both occasions the two sides met this season. To do that, LAC did things the 49ers do very well...

Despite Jordan Ayew’s value as a progressive receiver, I think it’s time Ghana gave Ernest Nuamah a proper shot vs Mozambique. With Semenyo & Kudus, Ghana have progressive receivers & Nuamah brings a level of dynamism that Jordan simply does not have. Will need it vs Mozambique
@Scott_Geelan

Arik Armstead’s dominance might be the most ignored storyline for the 49ers. Excluding Dekoda Watson, AA has the best pass rush productivity on the team per PFF. He may be an elite run stopper, but it’s incorrect to say he’s not had an impact as a pass rusher (thread)

One of the potential knock-on effects of Ekubam’s signing could be Armstead getting more time back inside at DT again. That suits all parties.

Trying to work out why there's an agenda against Lawrence Ati-Zigi... this all from one match. Well-rounded, local-born & developed at WAFA, played at an U20 World Cup, come through the NT system & now playing well in Switzerland. Also got goalkeeper swag but that's irrelevant.

An alternative Ghana U23 team, containing players who were not in this squad. Who would win?

What a funny search this is. Whilst the GFA’s unofficial mouthpieces are squawking about the GFA receiving over 550 applications for the head coaching role, the GFA are already putting together offers to Amir Abdou… who may well fit 0 of the GFA’s stated criteria.
EXCL: The GFA have been in contact with 🇲🇷 Mauritania coach Amir Abdou.
🇬🇭 Ghana are said to have offered him $45,000/month while the Mauritanian federation have offered $35,000/month for a contract renewal.
Abdou’s contract expires in March. (via

I think these are ageing quite well on Fredrick Asare. Another strong effort between the sticks for Asante Kotoko today, showcasing composure, technical decision-making, athleticism & distribution. Looks the best goalkeeper there has been in the GPL for a little while.

Lessons learned from Ghana’s June window:
OTTO ADDO
⚽️Player profiling remains strong; players fit the roles being asked of them & roles are complementary
⚽️Team needs more drilling on- & off-ball to make Addo’s preference for a 3-2 base work. Better spacing, movement (1/10)

Kudus was impressive vs CAR. Asked to do everything on a pitch that wasn’t conducive at all to him receiving inside the block vs 3 opponents, his dribbling & passing/shooting off the dribble. Simply not going to see West Ham Kudus on a potato field.
Mohammed Kudus Vs Central African Republic
An integral performance🇬🇭

Assuming Salisu is missing from this potential list from
@Muftawu_Nabila
, this would be the best squad Ghana has called in at least the last 5 years. Fatawu & Afena-Gyan understandable exclusions given their club (in)activity.

Rest in peace Christian Atsu. A wonderful person by all accounts & a life cut too short. Thinking of his family at this horrible time.

This is what happens when national teams are treated as marketing tools & members clubs. They are no longer symbols of Ghanaian excellence. They are symbols of greed, complacency & entitlement.
Jokes aside,
@kurtokraku
has terrible tournament results ooo.
Across all the national teams, the performance has been excruciatingly embarrassing.
It's just insha Allah and vibes.

The football system is the problem. Until the system changes, the results won’t. Complacent, arrogant, entitled football people. The system works for them. The Black Stars failing at an AFCON is an inconvenience. They got the World Cup money. But will they get that this time?
So you football people picked this people to lead the FA? You football people are also a problem. Because they gave the balls and boots. Apuuu.

Really respect Chris Hughton’s overall approach to being Ghana boss.
Recognises how valuable his experience is & is apparently keen to share it widely, where sought, & wants to be a visible part of the wider Ghanaian football scene. Quite a Southgate-y approach & much needed.
Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton is in Morocco to support the Black Meteors during the U23 AFCON.

The Hand of Okraku has just scored for Gambia. Unfortunately for Ghana, VAR is rather more effective than Ali Ben Nasser in 1986 when God intervened for Argentina.
