Charles Taylor, a Ghana Premier League legend who won five league titles with Accra Hearts of Oak, has criticized the players of the club following their humiliating defeat to Tamale City.
Hearts of Oak suffered a 4-1 defeat in their matchday 28 encounter of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season on April 27, 2023.
Taylor expressed his disappointment in the players’ terrible performance and suggested that 16 of them should be demoted to the junior team of the club. He also criticized the players of Asante Kotoko, stating that some of them are not good enough to wear the team’s colours.
“This was a terrible performance from the Hearts of Oak players. Some of the players don’t deserve to play for Hearts of Oak and the same applies to Asante Kotoko,” Taylor, who won 5 Ghana Premier League titles with Accra Hearts of Oak told Accra-based Angle TV.
“You can critically watch Hearts of Oak and Kotoko games and you will see that some of the players don’t deserve to be in the team. They can’t control and pass a ball and you can’t blame it on the pitch because we played on more terrible pitches.
“I’m telling you, 16 of the Hearts of Oak players should be demoted to Auroras and I can list them for you. They are just not good enough to wear the colours,” he added.
The defeat left Hearts of Oak in sixth place on the league table with 42 points.
They will face King Faisal in their matchday 29 game at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday. Taylor made these comments in an interview with Accra-based Angle TV.
