Ex-Ghana FA boss Tamakloe blasts Kwesi Appiah over ‘huge’ call-ups
Posted On Saturday, 1st September 2012
Kwesi Appiah has been criticized for calling 24 players
Ex-Ghana FA boss Nyaho Tamakloe has criticized coach Kwesi Appiah for naming an ‘excessive’ number of players for this month’s double header against Malawi and Liberia.
The Black Stars trainer called-up 24 players for the 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifier against Malawi and the international friendly against Liberia.
The list includes five home-based players, a debutant and the experienced old guns for the crucial game against the Flames at the Accra Sports stadium on September 8.
But the controversial ex-football administrator claims the huge number confirms suspicion that he is clueless about the players.
“Twenty-four players for a national team is too much, the number is very huge. We could have done with 18 or 20 but 24 is like he is now coming to assess them,” Tamakloe is quoted by 90 Minutes
“It’s like he does not know them at all. If that’s the way he’s going to make his selection then he will create problems for himself,”
“At training, each and every player would like to prove himself and you end up with injuries,”
He added: “This should not be about large numbers. 18 players would have been okay or if you say you are playing two matches, 20 is okay but 24 is too huge,”
“It’s clear that he is trying them and this is not the time to try players. If he wants to know the boys, he has to be interactive with them and monitor the good ones to call at a time,”
“What he is doing is not different from what the whites coaches come here to do, they just assemble the boys without teaching them anything.”
The Black Stars must overcome a plucky Malawi over two-legs to qualify to the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa.

Kwesi appiah is a confused person,he is not worth the task cos the look on his tells he is even timid,basically he is tactically bankupt and can never qualify ghana to any world cup
Who the hell do u think u are at all,get the fuck off man @ nyarho tamakloe or whtevr ur name is.check well,holland has called up 23 players too are they confues too.kwasia
u know… I actually came here to give nyaho tamakloe a good bashing after reading the heading, then i took my time to read the content…u know…giving him the benefit of the doubt… And he actually argued out his point very very well. I agree mr. Tamakloe.
Don’t agree with u guys ,,, the coach knows what he’s doing !!!!!! Well if that Tamakloe thinks he’s distracting Appiah then he’s wrong . He’s helping rather cos, Appiah is learning from all those critics. And if Tamakloe thinks he knows and gud then he souls hv bn in his former position till today……. Don’t u think the coach is suspecting some of the players with slight injuries?
let me educate u guyz,,,FIFA/CAF now use 23 players for its competitions,,,hence de call up,,,asamoah gyan have sought permission to be excused for de liberia match,,so one player will be dropped b4 de malawi game and dat fellow rejoins for de liberia trip,,,Dis shows dat Dr nyaho tamakloe is totally lost and still belongs to his days where back pass were accepted,,,NYAHO , u dey talk too much of late,,,
