Inability to Bring About Change
Hughton was unable to start the much-needed change, perhaps because of the GFA’s conservative stance. The team placed 13th in the age rankings with an average age of 27, despite having players with no AFCON experience.
There were questions raised when Richard Ofori was named the AFCON’s regular goalie, especially considering the number of young players who are becoming well-known. Notably, with the arrival of other bright prospects like Ernest Nuamah, who deserved more than 28 minutes, especially considering the team’s meager offensive output, legendary Black Star Andre Ayew may no longer be able to make the squad.
Tactical lapses
Hughton had trouble coming up with a strategy that worked for the team. Prominent athletes such as Iñaki Williams and Mohammed Kudus frequently seemed unproductive inside the framework and were forced to rely on their unique skills.
Despite the defense’s impressive performance against Egypt, the team’s overall lack of confidence was evident as they gave up six goals in three AFCON games. The offense did not use full-backs, and the club committed a number of individual errors that were unusual for a group with a cohesive idea.
