Ex-Ghana goalkeeper, Abukari Damba has slammed Arsenal midfielder, Thomas Partey following his unimpressive performance against Morocco.
The Black Stars succumbed to Soufiane Boufal’s late second-half goal at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in the opening Group C game on Monday in the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON].
Damba, who was on GTV Sports Plus as a pundit was left disappointed with the performance of the 27-year-old highly-rated midfielder.
“The level of [Thomas] Partey and the kind of respect that Partey commands, I personally wanted to see something more from him,” Damba said.
“I wanted Partey to come to receive the ball and initiate the moves because you have everything but I did not see any of that.
“Stringing two, three, four passes, meaningful passes, there was none.
“The writer [referring to host, Kwabena Yeboah], we have a big challenge at hand and we need to wake up to the reality and it is the responsibility of the players to do this,” Abukari Damba added.
