what our players have with india ?now we goalie so if he keep a clean sheet in the I league he good to go ......
Marvin Phillip is the last player you should be casting any blame on in the TT squad. He has easily been one of our best and consistent performers for the past 5-7 games.
you mean’t to say consistently allowing very soft savable goals in right? if not, then allow me to respectfully disagree. I being one of marvin’s biggest opponents and for good reasons, believe that marvin phillip a fair GK who at one time could have been a good GK had he went on to play in a note worthy league, but the guy played in the pro league all his career and never developed into anything but a fair GK, courses for horses.
allow me to name some of Marvin’s impediments and why he should call it a day on his very poor and unimpressive international career. to begin with, marvin is very poor on set pieces particularly corners. he never takes command of his area but instead allows anything to take place in his box.
Look at top notch GK around the world and the one place they take no prisoners is in their six yard box. these keepers push their defenders at the top of the six yard box leaving that area clear with room to attack the ball, our local GK on the other hand are in there bumping it up with attackers from the opposing team not clearing a pathway to attack the football, and it happened in the last game.
The corner that levi garcia headed unto danial carr’s boot should have been attacked by phillip and punched out, instead he stayed on his line. and that’s another impediment he has, he does not know when and not to stay on his line, and most of the times he concedes is when he tries to play last stopper instead of allowing his defenders to deal with the threat. the guy is a liability, what could i say.
ps. If it’s possible please research his record and see how many clean sheets he had in his whole career, i’m betting you’ll be astonished to find not many.
