Former Ghana midfielder Laryea Kingston says Black Stars must be given more time to build a new squad for the side as they are on the verge of crashing out of the World Cup qualifiers.
The Black Stars were already on the backfoot of the qualifiers for the tournament to be played in Russia next year.
They were played in with the chance when Uganda defeated Egypt in Kampala on Thursday but failed to take advantage of the slip up as they were held by Congo to a 1-1 draw on Friday.
Ghana, seeking a fourth consecutive World Cup appearance, fell behind midway through the opening half when Congo captain Thievy Bifouma scored from close range.
It took the misfiring “Black Stars” until five minutes from time to level as Partey ran on to a through ball and fired across the goalkeeper and into the net.
Ghana laid siege to the Congolese goalmouth in the closing minutes, but wild shooting, especially from Thomas Agyepong, let them down.
Uganda top Group E with seven points, one more than Egypt after beating them 1-0 in Kampala Thursday. Ghana have two and Congo one.
Some fans have called for the sacking of coach Appiah even though he took over the side just about four months ago.
Kingston says more time should be given to the former Ghana defender to rebuild he squad for future competitions.
“They should give him sometime to build his team,” Laryea said.
"Already Ghanaians are not confident about our qualification chances, so I entreat them to leave the World Cup for now and
focus on how Kwasi Appiah can build a new team which will become very solid in the future."

IF Akwasi is still a "remote control couch" then he should forget the job as a couch, if he will not call the squad of the brazil world cup and reconcile with all what happen and later if they choose to leave the team that will be fine,BUT if not !! He will not see it clear till he will be sack again ....
Whether they win in Brazaville or not don't even matter. This team is a waste of tax payers money and must disbanded immediately. It is a rudderless team with no one at the helm. It is just like a ship going adrift and running aground. ***barred word*** team, no leadership, no sense of urgency and lack of perspective. The coach is apparently clueless, helpless and hopeless and lacks the ability to read and understand the game. He obviously lacks ball sense and strategy. The Black Stars of Ghana are done. Any ***barred word*** team from anywhere can defeat them. The players think their presence on the pitch is a celebrity apprentice. They just come to show off their bogga stigma to Ghanaians. They don't even want to fight for the ball. They play as if Ghanaians owes them something. I say disband this team, fire the coach and forget about it.
