Latas is definitely a big game player. De big difference is Latas was never a physical specimen capable of fightin through or outrunning double teams or manhandling, so when men hustle him, double team him, and generally try to keep him out de game, he needs teammates to step up and punish teams. Bahrain didn't pay de other men no mind cause dey know is only stern does score and with no service stern does just lime. When dey pressure Latas as soon as he get de ball is only whitley does really play aggressive and take advantage of de extra space dat giving him. Not saying de other men really play shit, but nothing to worry de bahrainis enough to disrupt dey game plan. Same thing happen to him nov 19. Guatemala, mexico and dem team give de boss time to play and he mash dem up. Allyuh really feel Trini play better with Latas on de bench in Bahrain? We might have played a lil better defence. If dey tallman captain wasn't suspended ah frighten for what might have happened. Wha we really need is for de other men besides whitley to stand up and punish teams so dey have to pay attention to de other men and give latas time to do he ting. When ah say punish ah doh mean to spin 5 time and makes trinis bawl yuh know, ah mean to put a cross directly on a man head or foot to score, or a decisive pass to split a defence open. We doh do dis at all, so de other team game plan is usually to hustle Latas with couple men , and recover to he decent playing but not at all dangerous teammates. Remember people, big games are de hardest games usually against de best teams so it easy fuh tings not to go your way. Is as we like to say a team game. Using Ato as an example, if trini in a 4 x 100 relay against grenada and ato get de baton 20 m behind in de last leg he might still bring we back, but he couldn't bring dem back if dey was against USA. Help Latas instead of ponging de man nah, he is still we most valuable creative player.
