Hearts of Oak legend Amankwah Mireku has strongly criticized defender Kelvin Osei Asibey for his repeated errors, which he believes have cost the club crucial points in the Ghana Premier League.
Asibey’s mistake during the Super Clash against Asante Kotoko, where a lapse in communication between him and goalkeeper Benjamin Asare allowed Albert Amoah to score the winning goal, has come under intense scrutiny.
Mireku, in a candid interview, did not hold back in pointing out Asibey’s overconfidence with the ball as a recurring problem for the team.
“The team is losing points because of his overconfidence with the ball, which has become a feature of his game,” Mireku said on Akoma FM.
The former Hearts captain emphasized that this is not an isolated incident, stating that Asibey’s errors have now cost the club points on at least three occasions this season.
“This is the third time his errors have cost Hearts of Oak points, and just as coaches are sacked when their errors cost the team points, players who consistently cost the team should be sidelined,” Mireku added.
With 19 points from 13 matches, Hearts of Oak currently sit in 7th place on the Ghana Premier League table.
