Thread for the T&T vs Cuba Game (19-Nov-2008).

[palos]

Ah cyar believe they call up Kenwyn Jones boi. Leh the man recover properly nah man.

No Avery John, No Cyd Grey???

I on the fence for KJ call up. Would like to see him recover and come back to 100% fitness - but at the same time, would like to see the team play some games/ practice with him up front so players get used to running off him and benefitting from the all the attention that he will be receiving from the oppositon.

The only way I could explain the ommission of these two is down to saving the legs of the older men. But that arguement doesn't hold much substance when you bring Yorke and Latas into the equation. Widening the pool and giving some fringe players a run-out in some serious competition against opposition we will not be facing later on in the hex has so many oxymorons, I don't know where to start.

Hopefully Avery and Cyd get a little more than a text message.

Maybe they just deemed to be surplus to requirements?  Especially Avery.  His game against St Kitts according to posters was unimpressive.  He was dropped for the USA game.  He almost cost us the game against Guatamela if the ref had correctly called a penalty for a reckless and idiotic tackle in the penalty area late in that game.  Perhaps the coach simply has no confidence in Avery.

As for Cyd, perhaps he wants to have a look at Power in this environment and if there's a problem, there is always Carlos as cover.  Notice, Spann was not recalled.

Nobody expected Spann 2 b recalled. Avery was not at his best v St.Kitts but who is his replacement

If we could get a little insight into the selection policy, then we could stop guessing.

We don't need plenty - just a little bit.
(I hope somebody out there listening!!!)

Especially since no Aklie Edwards in de squad either. Best guess is dey using Julius James on de left.

[mouie]

We beat Cuba last time 3-1 with half the side we have now.So i see no problem beating them by a bigger margim this time,even if they beat Guatemala.

[weary1969]

U brave 2 guess when d team get call out we go put places in position

It's all well and good to try new players if the others aren't performing but we just had 3 warm up games and Julius wasn't even tried at left back, and only played in 1 match of the 3.  Aklie started 2 games, Avery 1 and yet we are going into this CRUCIAL Cuba match without anybody who has EVER played left back for T&T before in the squad?  Maybe mats planning to play a 3-5-2   

[weary1969]

Everybody here know I iz Wim wife but somebody please tell me y u play 4 4 2 in d 3 games and y play 4 5 1 in d WCQ. Is d team learnin a system or is a different system each competition. So if wequalify 4 GC we go c a 4 3 3

Cuba beat a desperate Guatemala (a side we haven't beaten this rounds) with a depleted side.

That worked out OK for Bermuda.

Ah boy,

The Corbeaux brand strikes again.

Ehy alyuh doh hurt up alyuh head...the afro has things under control.

Hey Guys,

Please read and share your views.


I am a United Kingdom national and I am writing this letter  hoping that you would please publish this article.

I have been following up on the Trinidad and Tobago National Team since 2005 and am truly sadden and  gutted to see that today one of  their greatest and most talented player Mr. Silvio R. Spann is being   treated  with no acknowledgement nor respect. I have noticed that during the past years this young man has played for Trinidad and Tobago’s National Team and was positively talked about  by these said  reporters and commentators . Everybody loved him, he was one of the best and  let me remind you he still is. The guy has talent, stills, and a drive for football, not to mention he love playing for his country. 

Strange enough, correct me if am incorrect, did Carlos Edwards, Dennis Lawrence, etc played for the club Silvio R. Spann is currently playing for. Did Kenwyne Jones once played for a Team in the UK at a way lower division.  I never heard anyone talked about that.

I looked at a few of the Trinidad and Tobago’s  2010 qualifying games and let me tell you something,  I have not seen no Championship nor Premiership qualities on the field (now I am not bashing the players), everybody plays the same (they all make mistakes on the field). If the coach is bringing these guys down and  picking other  local boys and by passing Silvio R. Spann,  let we see some real talent. I know most readers would 100% disagree with me but its True. That’s just how  a lot of the United Kingdom nationals are seeing it.  For example, Carlos Edwards  made so many mistakes on the field and where is he now, still on the team, a lot of these guys they are picking are not better than Silvio R. Spann, the man must feel bad when Trinidad and Tobago (your own) treat him so. Come on TTFF, Trinidad and Tobago had a good, sold team leading to their first ever World Cup qualification. If the coach and  other officials don’t like the man say so,  don’t make his few mistakes be the problem.
