Former Aduana Stars striker Yahaya Mohammed asserts that Accra Hearts of Oak should consider themselves out from the title race and the top four if they repeat their performance against Aduana Stars in the remaining sixteen games.
The Rainbows were trounced 2-0 at home by the Ogya lads on Sunday, moving them to seventh position in the Ghana Premier League (GPL).
Isaac Mintah’s two goals in the second half gave Aduana Stars the crucial three points. Hearts of Oak also squandered several superb scoring chances.
The 2020–21 league champions, according to the 35-year-old attacker, would face challenges if they wanted to win the league or place in the top four with their current method of play.
When asked if Hearts of Oak can turn things around to win the league, Yahaya replied, “If Hearts of Oak is going to put on this performance in each and every game then they should count themselves out. Even top four they cannot….
Is not as good as a huge club, based on what I witnessed yesterday. We must be honest and open with the club, Hearts of Oak. I have a lot of respect for the crew and Hearts of Oak, but I have to admit that this performance wasn’t great.
“If they don’t change their attitude and play their hearts out to lift the Hearts of Oak family to the highest level and continue with this performance I saw yesterday then I don’t think they can achieve something.
“The performance I saw yesterday is not the Hearts of Oak I knew,” he said.
