Some Ghanaian football fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the current Black Stars team with a section calling for the immediate sack of coach Charles Akonnor after just one and half years in charge of the senior national team.
A shambolic performance by the Ghana team led to a 1-0 defeat against Bafana Bafana in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match played at the FNB Stadium on Monday evening.
Ahead of the match, Ghanaians were expecting an improvement in the team’s performance after a narrow win against Ethiopia on Friday.
The Black Stars were outplayed by the South Africans in the game making them fortunate to have conceded just a goal courtesy of a late strike from Bafana Bafana forward Bongokuhle.
The defeat becomes a setback in Ghana’s bid to return to the World Cup as South Africa now tops the Group G log with four points and Ghana are second with three points in two games.
Some reactions on social media after the game;
Another awful performance from the Black Stars. No clear-cut plan, zero creativity and no formation. CK has a lot of work to do but Alex Djiku solid yet again.
Zimbabwe next. Double affair on Oct 6 & 10. The warriors are handled by ex-Asante Kotoko coach Zdravko Lugarusic.

I’m not too sure the Black Stars will finish top four in the Ghana Premier League.

Things I’ve learnt so far
If Ghana🇬🇭 wants to Progress to the Afcon and world cup;
First, Sack CK Akonnor
Find better keeper
NO to Nyame nsawom tactics
0 shot on target
Ayew brothers out
Akwasi Appiah better than CKNB: It isn’t too late to go for foreign coach!#CKOUT

Just one goal in the last four games. Surely something has to be fixed with the Black Stars? pic.twitter.com/FLF0xkQRhP

sorry but apart from Gideon Mensah, none of these players deserve to start for Ghana ever again. I was embarassed watching Ghana play against South Africa, dominated and couldn’t even play a shot on target. Sack all the players and coach CK

CK Akonnor is never a coach to lead the Black Stars. He should be sacked after the game

Andre Ayew hasn’t played competitive club football for 97 days. I’m not surprised he struggled. Rather, I struggle to understand decision of CK Akonnor to depend on a half-fit Dede Ayew. In my estimation, CK has exposed Dede to unnecessary criticisms. #WorldCupQualifiers #WCQ2022 pic.twitter.com/fhw2FvqspB
