Ayew knocked out of African Cup of Nations

|

andre-ayew-west-ham_3766957Hammers Andre Ayew has been knocked out of the African Cup of Nations in tonight’s semi-final.  Ghana were two nil losers to Cameroon who now progress to Sunday’s final against Egypt.

Ayew played all ninety minutes but was not able to cancel out the two goals scored by Cameroon in the second half.

Former West Ham manager and now manager of Ghana, Avram Grant will go home empty handed.

Ghana will play Burkina Faso in the play offs on Saturday for the unimportant third place in AFCON.

Cheik Kouyate  has already returned to the training ground today but is likely to be available for selection on Saturday should Bilic want to pick him.

    I watched him in this & thought he was very average. Had hoped he might come back with some match practice & play a role. But I can’t work out what you do with him. Doesn’t seem incredibly quick to be out wide, but doesn’t carry the ball much either in midfield. Doesn’t seem to be a natural goal scorer. There you are…if that doesn’t ensure he is a match winner for the rest of the season nothing will..

    I didn’t watch this game but Cameroon (apologies any Cameroon supporting Hammers) seem to be like the Greece of the African nations, stubborn and difficult to score against with just enough quality to nick the odd goal on the counter attack, I was shocked when they beat Senegal who from a football perspective were excellent and by all accounts Ghana dominated posession in this one but they nicked the goals and the result, well done to Cameroon.
