strike squad defense was far superior them fellas used to play midfield ass well their touch was much better than our current defenders...believ it or not our best defebder technically seems to be lawrence .....and the man isnt the most athletically built player so go figure..
A big part of the problem is the fact that the team is not functioning at its peak. The strike squad defenders would always look good because they were playing behind Charles, Latapy, Leonson, Yorke and company at their prime. Men would show for the ball and the team was a well-oiled machine.
No offense to the guys that we have now but they are still trying to find their feet. Dog doesn’t look as bad for Rangers in Scotland because they boss that league and he has less to do. For T&T against the US, playing the ball back to him with men pressuring, it is just asking too much for him not to make any mistakes.
I find that the defence passed and controlled the ball much better in this game than under the previous coach. Even the second half was better than the first because we had more structure and men buckled down to the task. As soon as our midfield and forward line start working properly we won’t have too much worries with defenders playing the ball.
