Come on,its against a 2nd dvsng team.Gud results anyway..
THE Day i learnt that gyan had signed with the uae club. was when I STARTED ADVOCATING THAT HE NEVER BE CALLED TO FEATURE FOR GBSTAR. AFTERALL, LETS BE VERY CRITICAL. THE QUALITY OF THE UAE LEAGUE IS PROLLY AT PAR WITH DIV 3 OR COLTS SOCCER IN GH. THEREFORE, WHAT IS THE POINT OF CALLING GYAN TO LEAD OUR ATTACK? IN THE LAST 2 AFCONS, SINCE GYAN SIGNED WITH AL AIN. GYAN HAS SCORED ONLY 2 GGOALS. 1 GOALS FROM A FREE KICK IN AFCON 2012, AND A GOAL AGAINST NIGER IN AFCON 2013. APPIAH,ITS TIME TO LEAVE GYAN OFF THE TEAM. GYAN IS SIMPLY NOT A GBSTAR CALIBRE PLAYER ANY MORE. HE CANT BANG TOE TO TOE….ALLOW YIADOM. YAHAYA,WARRIS, AYEW BROS, ABEYIE TO PLAY AS STRIKERS. GYAN IS WASHED UP!
Asamoah Gyan could not even score against a second division team
just shut up idiot~~
This shows us the ‘strength’ of the arab league Gyan is playing in. I hoped that he got some competition for his starting spot so that he would try harder. However AA made him captain. And sadly the captain always plays:(
Please don’t get complacent over this result, bcos it’s just a second division team
What shd Asamoah Gyan do Again huh…what has he done. Even chelsea has hope in Torres.
Asamoah gyan shld be benched. New strikers shld start this time. We must play 4-4-2
Thats what we call a resounding victory…Well done BS!!!
Well done guys! 4231 formation should be maintained with Gyan playing as midfield forward (10) and warris as the striker.
So gyan cudnt even score against a second division syde?hmmm!!!!if Drogba was dropped,y nt d wastefull asamoah gyan.lets give d new strikers a chance n stop politisizing our game.ohhh gfa!!!!!!
nimo i do agree wt u. Gyan can be played in da offensive midfield role. En one of da oda strikers must be tried as da lead striker. Good luck black stars.
This just a test game! you don’t need to play Barcelona. These kinds of games are used to test formation, tactics, and shit!
the second half squad looks likely to start the game on sunday.
Whether is second tie side or not,we have scored five solid goals and i can assure everyone that Sudan ll be beaten by the same margin comes sunday!!!! Viva the revolutionciooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
We need to play 2 strikers not one striker
well done Mahatma keep it up
in as much as we are congratulating u doesnt mean u shd give room for complacency…i think if u treat every match with much serious and urgency, u shall get there
