Cummings was the difference in both games btw..
Let's see what Molino do, he has plenty talk but hasn't shined for our national team to date ....
Jones and Cummings played off each other, can Molino be as equally unselfish is the key question ... we will see come Friday.. judgement day
adam please don't encourage this nut job he needs to see a head doctor ASAP. in case you haven't noticed Kevin has been quite consistent pre season and the beginning of the regular season, so what do you guys want from the lad, his blood?Cummings was the difference in both games btw..

I was waiting for someone to post bush league stats for Molino...
When he scores against Mexico and panama and bigger teams he will get my approval..
Cummings showed up for big games, let's see if Molino can also show...
Tallest need to get his strategy right because we can't play this brand of football we played today against Mexico.. they will whip us with no mercyDid we watch the same game? The plan was Dope yo! Better teams like Haiti, Mexico and JA have tried to beat this same Panama side thinking the same thing you are and get whipped back into dimension x.. why u think they not in the hex? All dem crazy madmen tactical mindset of the critics makes me cringe - because many of them don't really know what on earth they ranting about - just mad judgmental for no reason... Mexico is a different sea fish.. ofc the approach will be different to cope with the little ratfish called chicarito
Hart figured them out even without a full staff and support and limited funding and undermining..
Tallest has no excuses, he has everything at his disposal and a full team, he needs to come better than this mediocre display he had in terms of his Strategy against Panama

Mex travel record to TT since 02 campaign far from impressive, even when we struggle. TM could post the stats.i hope if we get passed Mexico on Tuesday that the fans don't get too besides themselves and pressure the team and the coach into an unrealistic position. my view is to take this one step at a tine, after all we only beat panama 1-0 at home, and that is nothing to go crazy about. take it easy folks and let's build in silence. please.
Anyway, that plus a few bucks will buy you a loaf of bread.
Best of luck to the boys come Tuesday, all to play for....
Dont need style now we need substance.. much like 2005. Keep it simple, keep the ball constructively, press when defending, score our chances. We did enough of that to win.
Things to note:
That was arguably our easiest game on paper.
Panama playing a 4141 played into our hands and allowed us to use the 4231 holding the ball deeper and building from the back. Note the difference with CR and Hon who both played WBs effectively 5 across the middle and even Pan when they switched in the second half to two strikers and were able to possess the ball further up the pitch. Thankfully they didn't have better finishers. We need to be able to counter such a tactical adjustment better.
All in all great result and on to Mex
He said he is taking nothing to chance with the Mexico game a couple of days away and is awaiting a report from a scout that attended Mexico’s game.
“I’ve got an idea what Mexico (are) all about,” said Lawrence. “I managed to send somebody out to watch the Mexico game. We’ll get a report and we’ll work on Mexico immediately.” Lawrence refused to divulge the identity of the person sent to the Mexico-Costa Rica but he pointed out, “It’s one of our coaches who works with the (TT Football Association).

I would hope no one bouncing dey head to figure out who the coach is.
Obvious.
let me guess, hart would have handled it better right? sighhhDont need style now we need substance.. much like 2005. Keep it simple, keep the ball constructively, press when defending, score our chances. We did enough of that to win.

What I saw as well, Tallest didn't adjust well to that tactical change by pan, which created pressure and almost caused us to cave in in the last 25 mins...
Like I said, Mexico won't be as easy and won't allow opportunities to be wasted as pan did..

Ah feel we should play for a 0-0 draw against Mexico.
Our strength would you believe may be our defense.

Nah, I don't think it's unrealistic that we will win the next five games and come out on top of the hex , qualifying in the process. We should only be thinking about three points for every game. And yes I was confident that TnT would beat Panama.With our current head coaching staff and player talent , you can't say we don't have what it takes.I'm kind of hoping the wins will be of a bigger margin.Trinidad and Tobago will qualify directly for Russia 2018.Watch and see.
I'm also confident unless the dictator has other plans and the team rebels because of off the field issues...
This has gotten much bigger than he at this time
I see him a Waggonist right now...Just look at that fake hug he gave DL in the dressing room
Right now he is like a boil on the heel of progress

Low tickets sales means no tv coverage locally?
On the radio coverage pre game on Friday and on his regular Saturday evening program. Andre Baptiste lamented the lack of support in terms of the crowd. He also mentioned a few times Soca Warriors Online and the big flag that we used to have in the past. Both the USA and Mexico home games on Friday featured huge flags on the field.
I dunno how we could work that one out for tomorrow on short notice. Any ideas?
Small Mag went to the stadium this evening..he said Mexico using a huge double Decker AC bus...and TnT pile into 3 red band maxi...
Hart had it wrong by putting Cyrus on RB. Cyrus is a born CB. I expect him and Bateau to start as CB. Williams and Gonzalez will take the left and right positions on defense.
This Mexico team is tricky. They play fast and keep the ball on the ground.

honestly if going to try and play molino wide left yuh askin for trouble, unless yuh givin him some defensive leeway and catering to provide extra cover for him.....I noted while at orlando that more often than not he pretended to defend IMO...he would go through d motions be not have any kinda real effort

Neither Cato or Levi are much better. What would you suggest.

I justified my thinkin on d matter based on past experience....you free to disagree....but feel we ah better off playing front men that COULD put REAL pressure on d mexicans to force mistakes...nutten against molino jus doh tink he will fit dat plan.....molino talented but not disruptive in a physical sense........yuh hadda weigh yuh tangibles with yuh intangibles...nutten does ever truly be black and white

It was tight. We benefit against Panama. So it does go.
Anyone have an English feed
Overall we're playing well and gaining confidence, we have Mexico in their back foot. We just can't afford to get careless.
Definitely a WINNABLE game for the Soca Warriors. Mexico is vulnerable down their right side.
Cato is such an enigma. At times such excellence and next so amazingly lacking in composure.
we played well in the first half but second half was very poor. Not sure what Lawrence tell dem fellas at half time but they played worse in the second half
robbed.......but I would say molino should be d one to come off...he mental was clearly off after d altercation
we played well in the first half but second half was very poor. Not sure what Lawrence tell dem fellas at half time but they played worse in the second half
The second half was more of the same as the first half until the big scuffle.
Chicharito is a nasty piece of work but effective. He got Molino a yellow card but most importantly broke our resolve. It was downhill after that
I think we're still in the hunt for the 4th spot, those guys played with effort and were organized defensively.
We lack ideas.
Steups. This whole f**king Hex was a giant wasted opportunity.I ain forget we federation, I try to ignore them but I ain forget them.
I just get vex out of the blue and had to drink two shot quick. :cursing:
f**king DJW and he rum shop TGIF crew
Really proud of the guys. Karma is a hell of a thing. Molino challenge was a bit rough imo. That petty squabble broke the entire teams concentration and united the Mexicans. But all this said, they had to work really hard to get a result and I am sure this team will go from here stronger than before. The Panama game showed in the second half and Mexico work rate was higher than ours winning the second balls.
Overall it don't feel like a loss, more like.. a gift we gave them.
Well, when I saw the names of the referees I know this was going to end in a drama. For some reason, that dude is always brutal on Caribbean sides. It was like a deja vue when he called a foul against Jones when in fact a Mexican defender charged him while he was in the air and that came right after the ref disallowed the goal that even the Mexican commentators called a golazo.:thumbsup:
Anyway, Trini looked good tonight. It is no shame to lose to Mexico even though I think Trini deserved the point they fought for. Hard luck.
Anybody have footage/highlights of the game? Especially the "offside" goal......
i didn't even have to see this clip to know that the goal was good. i was right there and saw the whole thing and these concacaf referees should ashamed of themselves to be so incompetent and should all be fired from the referee on Friday night to this nitwhit tonight him and his whole bloody crew of clueless f..ups. The game could have went so different had that goal stood.Anybody have footage/highlights of the game? Especially the "offside" goal......
Offside goal

small ting...doh if I did play molino it would be in d right "half space" and let d wingback on he flank stay home
Have seen molino let pplyer by him when playing for orlando but allowing the wingback to "arrive late" will do d trick too......just felt that we would have benefitted by doubling up d physically in d top/middle dat pressure told twice for us against mexico and i am convinced dat dat is d policy for mexico ruff dem up in d middle third

What's the value of a wingback staying home?
Once a player is in the 23, that player should be viewed as a legitimate option.
I doh think the option should be either or ... last night it should have been binary (that is, "and" rather than or) in the latter stages of the match.
What's done is done. Mentally Boatswain will benefit from having entered versus Mexico.
Levi is a starter in the Eredivisie. That's the highest level anybody on the team is currently at. Might be time for Cato to sit and let Levi and Joevin handle them wings from the start.
A FIFA ref gave me the following lead.thats right vadlin legister he's the same bastard who officiated the game vs Martinique in october when we were being fouled left right and across by the martiniqians and he did absolutely nothing about it. I believe this guy might have it in for trinis. met quite a few jamaicans in England who just lived to hate trinis. for all we know he just might me of the very same mindset.
In the Canada v El Salvador WC qualifying match played in Vancouver last September, Richard Washington (the AR) and Legister (the ref), working that match together as they did on Tuesday night, were party to another 'offside goal' fiasco.

I can't think of a precedent which is why I have to think is a joke of some sort.
From the time I saw the ref was Jamaican I felt uncomfortable. It does not mean that he certainly has some sort of prejudice. Just made me think twice. The call in the game against Mexico was f**king stupid. It was clearly onside. CLEARLY. I didn't even think for a second that he may have strayed. I knew from the start in real time exactly what I saw. At the very worst he was alongside. Terrible officiating. BAd enough to warrant suspicion.
