Former Black Stars striker, Augustine Ahinful is unhappy with comments made by Black Stars deputy coach, Ibrahim Tanko in the aftermath of Ghana's defeat against Kenya on Saturday.

Following the Black Stars 1-0 loss against the Harambee Stars of Kenya at the MISC Stadium last week Saturday, Ibrahim Tanko lamented the attitude and the body language of some players and warned them to lift their performance or face the axe.

The team came under heavy opprobrium, particularly for their poor showing in the first half and their profligacy in front of goal.

But according to the former AshantiGold SC star, it's the responsibility of the of the team to substitute players whom they believe were not giving off their best in the game rather than harshly criticizing them after the three points had already been lost.

"If indeed Ibrahim Tanko really said the players weren't committed, then he should come again," he told Happy FM.

"He didn't speak well. They are the coaches and they were supposed to take off the uncommitted players off the pitch.

The Black Stars are still on top of the group with a better goal advantage despite their loss to Kenya.

Ghana will play Sierra Leone in a doubleheader in October.
