Both teams have players that can win the game for them. Hearts are in top shape now so they are the favourites but Kotoko can surprise them\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Touching on the performance of the team in the just ended Ghana Premier League, the former shot-stopper despite giving the team a rating of 70percent opined that the club\u2019s fortunes has plummeted and called on the current management to involve the old management members in the administration of the club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir (Hearts of Oak) performance was okay to me so I will give them 70percent. But in my opinion Hearts is down and the problem is with the management. Hearts is a traditional or family club so when one man tries to run it all by himself then failure will the result. All hands must be on deck for the club to reclaim its lost glory\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N2zm_yEizTQ?ecver=2\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 updated by: 55 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Monday, 23 October 2017 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2017-10-23 play videoFormer Hearts of Oak goalie Eben Dida &#13; Former Hearts of Oak goalie Eben Dida has urged players of the club to eschew complacency ahead of their MTN FA Cup final match against arch-rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
