Kim Grant blasts Hearts of Oak's performance against Hohoe United, questions quality of team

Former Heart of Oak coach Kim Grant has criticised the team's performance in their league opener against Hohoe United at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday evening. 

The Phobians shared the spoils with the newly-promoted side in a frustrating goalless match.

Grant, a former Ghana international, expressed his disappointment with the team, wondering if the players are right for the club.

"What did I just watch?!" he posted on Facebook. "Respect to Hohoe United – defended like warriors, even with 10 men for 30 mins!

"But Accra Hearts of Oak… wow. For a club of this size, this is the level? Not a single proper shot on target in the 2nd half.

"Poor decision-making, wild crosses, forced passes, giving the ball away like it’s charity work. Where are the flair & exciting players? This is Hearts of Oak, not side-to-side, no-risk football FC. The badge deserves better."

The 52-year-old was named Hearts coach in 2018 but was sacked a year after a defeat to Berekum Chelsea.

Hearts of Oak will next travel to face Dreams FC in the Ghana Premier League.
