Ghanaians have taken to social media to voice their displeasure after Aziz Issah and David Oduro were left on the bench during Barcelona B's humiliating 3-0 loss to SD Ponferradina at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.

Both players have made only limited appearances during the ongoing campaign, leaving fans frustrated at their lack of opportunities.
Many Ghanaians believe that Barcelona B could have achieved a better result if the coaching staff had shown more faith in Issah and Oduro by starting them or at least bringing them on during the game.
The Catalan side's defeat was sealed by a Lancho goal in the 32nd minute, followed by second-half strikes from J.L. Cortés and Carrique.
Ex-Ghana goalkeeper urges Issah and Oduro to keep pushing
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, former Ghana number one goalkeeper Abukari Damba has offered words of encouragement to the Ghanaian duo, urging them to remain patient and focused as they await more playing opportunities.
"It’s important for these players to stay calm and not lose hope," Damba stated.
"Football is a game of opportunities, and sometimes, your moment comes when you least expect it.
"They should keep their heads down, continue working hard, and maintain strong performances in training. Consistency and dedication in practice are what coaches notice, and that’s what earns you a place in the starting lineup.
He continued: "I understand it can be frustrating when you’re not getting the minutes you feel you deserve, but the key is to stay ready. When the opportunity comes—and it will come—you must be prepared to grab it with both hands and prove your worth.
Social Media react as Issah, Oduro benched again
Fans argue that the inclusion of the Ghanaian youngsters could have brought a different dynamic to the match and possibly prevented such a heavy loss.

"Play the Ghanaians. An opponent is sent off in the first minute and you end up losing 0-3. This is serious, eh?"
@NoahDarvichismo commented:
"Albert Sánchez OUT. He's not ready to play Oduro and Issah."
The ongoing lack of playing time for Issah and Oduro has raised questions about their integration into the team and whether they can fulfil their potential at the club.
