   This writer has been very unfair to Hans Adu Sarpei who manned this position very well till age caught up with him. Let us give credit where it is due.

     You hit the nail right on the head.
     I couldnt agree with you more. Hans Adu Sarpei has always been by unsunk hero in defense.

   David Addy is great and is playing full throttle every match in the Portuguese league. He should be our left-back. No time to experiment again with an untested player like we did with this 17-year old Alhassan last time. We need stability.

   - Asare is a great player too, he is the captain of FC Utrecht. However, he’s not a left back! He’s a midfielder. And in the midfield department he faces alot of competition

   - Opare has barely made the first team of FC Liege. And when he made the team, he never played. He’s no doubt very talented but not in form right now.

   - Alhassan. Same thing like Opare. Very talented but no playing time. So not in form.

   - Lee Addy? C’mon this is the weakest defender Ghana has ever allowed to play. he’s a benchwarmer in a mediocre chinese club. We should not even consider him!

   - Conclusion: David Addy stands with head and shoulders above the other defenders. He’s talented and young, but plays regularly too.

     Is Akwasi Appiah really and seriously looking for left-back?
     Waksso, Kwadwo Asamoah, Muntari and Dede can play at left back if the coach really insist. They track back to defend beautifully at the various clubs. If Appiah really want to win the AFCON he should learn from what Mourinho is doing with Essien – getting results from him although he is even right-footed player. Ghanaian players are highly talented and can play anywhere in the field. Some of our current players started their career playing at different position from what they are playing today. Appiah should be innovative and NOT look for already-made.

   yes, Ghanaba since akwasi appiah Ghana have never seen left fullback like Hans Adu sarpei,even everybody that they will call him to that position can not prove any expectation do, only he Adu sarpei show that he can do,and maybe we can say Isaac ASARE can also match it very well, in that matter apart from this guys
   no one has prove better stand in that position ,so the guy need to give respect in this factor!

   Kissi accounted for chealsea conceding 5 goals in the champs league. he would have been called if he can fit it the role

     I hope Akwasi Appiah will read this comment, very insightful. We have the personnel for the job but the coaches kept on looking outside for the solution.
     You are right, all these players are great dribblers who could easily understand how strikers operate.
     Example: Wakaso at left back, Kwadwo at left defensive midfield with Dede at left wing. That area will be strong for any opposition to operate from.

     C’mon you don’t play Stars like Kwadwo, Muntari as a left-back. That’s a waste of quality man. Let them do what they do best: dominate the midfield and score goals!

   @jaja , I agree with u, at this moment David Addy is the choice he is playing every game for his current club as a left back, and is playing well, aware is also good but he is a midfielder, it is time Ghana plays players in their respective positions @ Kay,are u serious, stars like muntari, dede etc should not b moved as left back waste of quality they r midfielders and are best at that position

     Do you want Ghana to win the ultimate or just want your favorite players to play?
     If you are a proud Ghanaian then we should use experience in this AFCON not just anybody.
     If Muntari, Dede Kwadwo, Wakako and Atsu score thousand goals and we lose the game to thousand and one, what do we gain? NOTHING.

       You are right, with great midfielders and quality strikers, you still need experienced and quality defenders, otherwise we cannot win matches because when we score the opponent will score as well. You make a lot of sense.

    aaaaba ghanaians we must believe in our local players and give dem some kind of hope.As for me i dont see kissi boateng in top form dis season as he showed last season and his chanpions league was little weird but needs some kind of support.But as for me when u ask me the top leftback on form it joshua otoo of wa all stars and his crosses can really be of benefits to black stars if giving a debut callup ghanaians would see it.
