listen last night my wife was with me at that game. she is american and has on her US jersey and her soca warriors jersey. i actually asked her to wear her US jersey because i am totally ashamed of associating with what i saw last night.
its one thing to discuss the coach is shit...he is and needs to be fired now...but its another thing that we have players playing on the field that have no right playing there. from d back...tallman had a decent game last night. he read the game as well as he could of and won alot of crucial headers that he was asked to win. we need him back there. thomas was decent as well but again he problem is ball to foot...he clueless but he showed some kinda heart last night and didnt back down from challenges and i respect that. edwards, i wont waste too much time on him because the kinda things i want to say about this fella d moderators might delete my thread. all in all he is frigin garbage and shud be on some eddie hart team never to play on a national team ever in life, until he learns to play that position. wolfe...unfortunately his coach hung his ass out to dry by playing him in that position, but he didnt show d heart either. so i wud fire both wing backs!!!
midfield...chris birchall is the heart and soul of the Trinidad and Tobago national team!!! having said that, y was he substituted is a mystery to me and apparently to him. he said so himself to me after the game. the only player that we have on the field who may have less dribbling skill than d rest but that muscle in his chest in an invaluable assest to this team. clyde leon, he went through the motions last night and is not ready for this level of football. he had an opportunity in the first half when he received the ball on the right side of the field and he had at least 25 yards of free space in front of him and he looked clueless as to what to do in that position. not much heart and desire shown from him either but i'll put it down to stage fright. he not ready! carlos, was one of our better players on the field last night...and he didnt have a good game. he needs to be a bit more decisive in his decision making...whether he going to dribble, cross or shoot. understandably alot of times he held onto the ball he had no options but he has to do better with that. after birchall he showed the most heart on the field. keon frigin daniel...he along with edwards needs to go play eddie hart football. he has no idea what his defensive responsibilities are..which contributes to akile being raped as much times as he usually does during any given game. he is not fit. he cannot be allowed to play on this team until he finds a pro team to play with and regains his fitness. honestly i dont see him as a winger because everytime he gets d f**kin ball he cuttin inside and losing it. not one left sided cross from our team. he was the first person to come out of the team meeting they had after the game last night and im hoping they told him he was dropped. so overall, fire leon and daniel.
strikers...stern worked harder than he usually does, however we need alot more from him. i cant tell you how many times i saw ching and altidore win balls from our midfielders (granted our midfielders cud lose the ball to my U10 team right now) and thats wat we need from stern. he did well holding up d ball and trying to involve men but for the most part when he gets it he has to wait 2-3 seconds on someone to lend a helping hand. his touch is off and it was evident on the ball carlos gave him on d back post. his heart i think is there but his desire wains once he realised others around him was playing GUTLESS FOOTBALL!!! as a leader he needed to rally those bastards instead of joining them. mr. KJ, he needs to be dropped until he regains his touch. the ball goes to him and its like hitting th ball on a concrete wall. for all his size he allowed Ouneye look like this great defender. never did he make him feel uncomfortable. actually scotland won a challenge with d same defender...and scotty is no KJ physically. no heart from KJ, no desire...and thats worst than his awful touch and lack of confidence. he does not support his fellow strike partner, usually leaving him alone to fend for himself. he does not know how to run off the ball. he has no anticipation and no instincts as a striker...not looking for flick on's or deflections! stern gave him a glorious chance when he ran over a ball...he skied it over the bar...and it was like well small thing oui! carlos sent one in the box for him...he allowed the defender to get in front him cleared instead of going to the ball and challenging. so, from these two i wud definitely fire KJ and stern probably on d fence.
hyland based on his last 2 performances has to start. he is hustling defensively (outside of chris he was the only one not allowing the US midfield not to comfortably turn with the ball). he showed alot of heart, desire and skill to compete on this level and i think him playing in belgium has benefitted him tremendously. we must keep this youth. scotland came on and the service he got was down right awful but he still showed some fight and desire and heart. makan was put in a bad position by his coach like wolfe and was raped on the second goal. not sure if he is ready as yet for this level. he did show some determination when he came on so i think he on d fence with stern.
maturana HAS TO BE FIRED NOW...BEFORE THE COSTA RICA GAME!!! he had the rope around his neck before this game but when he took out chris, he kicked the chair from under him and hung himself. my wife who knows nothing about d game was questioning this move and he as our national team manager didnt realise that chris was the best thing out there. he has to be an ass for not seeing that!!!
i am totally disgusted by this team. me and arimaman was talking after the game and we both displayed the same heartache after watching that game live. it was disgusting and highly embarassing to be associated with a set of players who PLAYED GUTLESS, HEARTLESS AND SHOWED NO UTTER RESPECT FOR THEIR CRAFT AND THE GAME!!! today for the first time i was ashamed to be a trini....thks to the columbian and his boss...JACK WARNER!!! however, i still hold the players responsible as well for going out there and no taking pride in their country!!!
YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!
