"Sleep sef no dey come. Milo, ob3 suban,"added Nana Aba Anamoah.
"A poor result for the Black Stars of Ghana. Expressed my concerns very early about Gabon and the problems they posed for Ghana. Milo did not manage the game properly and has paid the price. Now is not the time to say we will qualify in third place. This was not good enough," Godfred Akoto Boafo wrote.
"Dede Ayew was leading this Black Star team straight to the finals till Milo subbed him," wrote Kweku Majesty.
"Rewatching this makes me feel our players themselves allowed the ref to take that decision...none of them raised their hands neither did they protest about the drop ball/throw in for us...it serves us right ..Milo should improve," adds Michael Akomeah.
