Despite Ghana's shambolic performance at the Africa Cup of Nations, Daniel Kofi-Kyereh and Alexander Djiku have received positive reviews for giving their hearts out at the tournament.

"No other Ghanaian player had more tackles, interceptions and recoveries combined than Alexander Djiku and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (24) this afcon," added Owuraku Ampofo.

"Look at Kofi Kyereh's reaction when he was called to play for Ghana. These are the players we need in the Black Stars. He is a very proud Ghanaian. No weapon formed against you shall prosper Black Stars," wrote Virgin Blogger.

"Kofi Kyereh just need a touch of Sulley Muntari and he will be one of Black Stars best kick takers. Young champ just need some good mentoring," wrote Sweet Israel.

"The only positives from this current team is Djiku, Daniel Amartey and Kofi Kyereh. As for the Ayew brothers, only Dede Ayew should get a call up in our next game. Jordan isn’t a goal scorer so it makes no sense in demanding goals from him," added Evans.

"Alexander Djiku, Daniel Kyere...the players we thought wouldn’t play with their hearts having joined the Stars only because of their linage and parental affiliation rather turned out to be our best players....," wrote Frank Darkwah.
