Hart facing selection headache conundrum.
By Inshan Mohammed.
Teeming with talent
You've heard of migraine, chronic, cervicogenic, cluster and tension headaches, all of which are treatable, but are not liked by anyone. However, there is a headache out there, if you can find it, occurs to be the only one that particularly coaches would singularly pray for, and it's called, a selection headache.
Now you've probably heard of Joe Hart, Eddie Hart, Kevin Hart and if you are relevant with T&T politics, to an extent, the corrupted Canadian-born Calder Hart, of course no relation to Stephen. Until 2008, the soccer world knew little of Stephen Hart at the international scene. Well, times have changed and today Stephen Hart is a household name in the mouth of every Soca Warrior fan.
He has been the T&T head coach for a little over two years and with finite resources the La Romain-born coach still managed to build one of the deepest squads we've ever witnessed in the history of T&T football, noteworthy, in the middle of the pack?
A year ago, anyone who asserted that Trinidad and Tobago national men's team would have a crisis in midfield entering the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers would have been met with a skeptical eye from coach Hart. Considering that his players were literally falling on and off the field, local fans could have been on to something, certainly not what they were expecting and, in the shortest of time.
T&T's next set of important matches are carded for early September and all eyes will be drawn closely on Stephen Hart's final team selection, his catch-22, so to speak. Even the coach himself will be scratching his head at this one.
The trouble-free thing for him to do would be to write down his players' names on individual pieces of paper and draw names like the lottery wheeling system, but that too is burdensome.
You've heard the saying; “own the midfield, you own the game”. Lately, T&T has been benefiting from a rich flow of talented midfielders coming through its ranks and now with an expansion of talent filtering through, T&T could be set to spring into a level that would unlock any defences in CONCACAF if Hart can get them to peak at the right time.
Although, it was not all smooth sailing for the T&T gaffer. For example, Hart's go-to maestro Khaleem Hyland had been inactive for a long period while still a K.R.C. Genk player and only reignited his club career via the national set-up.
Joevin Jones was a fulltime left-back and had to hold back his natural flair at times to pick up defensive duties.
While newcomers Neveal Hackshaw and Trevin Caesar were borderline players that were kept in Hart's pocket as back-ups.
In-addition, T&T was hit with jaw dropping injuries to regulars Keron Cummings, Kevin Molino and Hector Hughtun. Now anyone that knows of the trio would tell you that their talent is invaluable to any team they play for.
To add insult to injury, the variable of Ataulla Guerra and Lester Peltier plays also added to T&T's miseries.
The only undeviating performers were Kevan George, Cordell Cato and of course Andre Boucaud, in-fact, if any had gotten injured the result could have been ruinous for T&T.
A year later, T&T is now left with a mammoth problem, something only one man has the keys to unlock and that's coach Stephen Hart. He has the most welcoming headache any coach could ask for and if his employers grant him a fruitful summer he could be stuck between a rock and a hard place come September.
Let's have a look.
Hart saw Hyland's in-active situation as a good thing and used that to his advantage. He rewarded the player with some valuable playing time with the national team and before you knew it, the former San Juan Jabloteh stand-out was back to being his old self, shortly after, he was snapped up by KVC Westerlo. A massively underrated player who quietly goes about his work of shielding the defence line in an otherwise adventurous midfield.
Today, Hyland is a linchpin with the national team and the only player that is capable of successfully connecting the dots, especially long-range efforts when up to it. On the opposite side of Hyland lies a totally different player in Andre Boucaud. The conventional centre midfielder is very calm and composed and uses the short pass technique to complete the dynamics between both in midfield.
Then you have Keron Cummings, a man that was brought in to replaced the injured Kevin Molino and he never looked back. Cummings quickly became the blood vessel of T&T's attack. A player who is remarkably adept at keeping the play ticking with his simple but yet incisive passing. Not often do you see a locally based player getting the notch over a regular foreign based player.
His success was short lived though. In late December 2015, the North East Stars player was shot in his leg and everything went tumbling down for T&T. The incident had peril effects and had simulated T&T of some sort as days after they were knocked out by Haiti for a place at the 2016 Copa América Centenario.
Cummings has now made a miraculous recovery and has begun training again. No one knows if he'll ever be the same, but if you are a true T&T fan, this is one player you would certainly pray for to get better soon. He's that good and he's naturally left footed, a rarity in T&T.
Orlando City's Kevin Molino is also back from a season long injury and is returning to his old self again. He has already scored for both club and country and seems to be improving at a rapid rate. He is determined and looks passionate about returning to where he left off.
W Connection's Hughtun Hector is beaming once more and doesn't look like a man who was injured for over a year. He has already claimed his starting role with W Connection and was one of their stars in their recent CFU Champion Cup matches.
Since getting re-positioned to the left and right-wing positions we, have all seen the best of what Joevin has to offer, kudos to coach Hart for making the move. Joevin Jones adapted seamlessly and has been a live-wire and T&T's most creative and skilful performer from anywhere in midfield. Since moving to MLS, the player has made leaps and bounds, and while still only 24, T&T could benefit from his talent for years to come.
Ataulla Guerra and Neveal Hackshaw have moved abroad to Charleston Battery and they will definitely improve. Hart seems to have found favour in Hackshaw, who seems to be settling pretty well into the T&T system, sadly, at the expense of his new team mate, Guerra, though, he's more defensive of the pair, he brings overall value to the team.
Then you have Jomal Williams and Sean De Silva that are both very close to sneaking onto the T&T team, especially, De Silva. The Central FC player-maker is capable of connecting passes successfully. Not a big dribbler of the ball, Sean has shown great maturity and composure and has an eye to thread passes easily, we saw that versus St Vincent. As for Jomal, the man has already scored 11 goals from midfield for W Connection and has been one of the club's most consistent performer thus far.
And finally, T&T's two latest additions are teenage sensation Levi Garcia and English-born John Bostock. Both players are skillful and fast enough if they gallop at almost any defenders they could put them in a vertiginous feeling. Bostock's energy and power make him a significant alternative. We've already seen what Levi could do while Bostock is just licking his chops with enthusiasm for a taste of international football. Two players that are still literally unknown in CONCACAF could very well be T&T's secret weapons should the Panmen make it into the Hex.
The Kevan George situation of being club-less for a while would have been a very big loss if the defensive midfield stalwart did not find a club soon. Despite his small frame, he packs a lethal punch, he adds steadfast to T&T midfield and a good protector of the back four proving that he is indeed one of the foremost defensive midfielders on the team right now. Between now and September things could surely change for the better once he continues to progress for his new club Jacksonville Armada FC.
DC United's Nick DeLeon, if he ever makes it to T&T, could be another option for coach Hart. Nick plays a good wing position and can dribble his way into the area and shoot accurately, however, the deep lying position DC has him playing is doing him little approbation. But then, if he masters it, he could very well slip into George's position if things don't change quickly for the iron-man.
Speaking of which, there are two hiccups in Hart's jigsaw puzzle. The decline in speedster Lester Peltier's performance that has not only left the winger unemployed but also uninterested in the sport. It was reported that because of some family-related issues have affected his move to Irtysh Pavlodar in the Kazakhstan Premier League. Peltier went from being one of T&T best right wingers to a drop out in a space of 2 years. Hopefully, he'll regain his magic soon.
A recount.
Joevin Jones, Kevin Molino, John Bostock, Cordell Cato, Levi Garcia, Andre Boucaud, Khaleem Hyland, Trevin Caesar, Hughtun Hector, Keron Cummings, Nick DeLeon, Sean De Silva, Jomal Williams, Neveal Hackshaw, Kevan George, Ataulla Guerra and Lester Peltier.
Obviously he's just one person so going to every local game would be impossible, however, coach Hart still takes the time to catch weekly top Pro League and SSFL matches and recently mentioned that he has pure admiration for a few young midfield attacking players in the leagues such as Aikim Andrews, Kadeem Corbin, Tyrel Emmanuel and Quinn Rodney. From an outside look Noah Powder and Duane Muckette are also ones to keep any eye on.
As mentioned above, if Hart is given a few extra games over the summer to fine tune his team before September, one could expect to see even more talent emerge.
Either way, Stephen Hart certainly has his work cut out for him.
"Coach Hart said that: "Each one of these players play a different role and everyone is important to my plans and the team. Some are used in different situations according to opposition."

I will help my the tablets for that type of headache.
-
I still don't know what our best midfield 5 is after all that.
It's a great position to be in.
-
Best piece I red in quite some time.
I still doh understand why Flex isn't the official TTFA writer. Even is good friend Sheldon didn't do this.
Love this article.
And big up to Hart, he have a real heart attack here to deal with.
-
Finally we'll have some depth of quality players. Coach Hart will have the flexibility to choose players based on his tactics for our opponents. Headache yes but a good one to have as players will now have to earn their place.
-
Excellent article! It real difficult for Hart to select but what will make it easier for him is that he has a definite manner in which he wants to approach matches. Its a wonderful time to be a SocaWarrior.
What is equally impressive is that Brian Williams will have to make some difficult decisions with the U20's.
I think we are about to enter a Golden Era for TNT football that with good administration could last for decades. BUT we must not be so excited with U20 and Senior team that we forget to target development for children age 8-15.
-
Hart will not have any headache. If you are active with your club and you prove you are ready when you show up to camp you will be selected. Players are not identical and Hart has the eye to see that player who will give him the edge.
For all the players selected to participate, if you want to be a starter, show up and do what is asked of you at the highest level and Hart will notice. Don't be a saga boy in camp, just work hard!

Nice problem to have.
Flex, Ah like de topics yuh does choose to write on and how yuh does do yuh research, nice.
I wonder what the headache looks like for the DEFENDERS?

Lately he has been playing on the right-wing.
-
To get a better idea of the competition in the midfield, we should group them by their primary position (attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, playmaker).

One of de best think I read for de year !!!!!!
Bull them hard Hartie.
Flex, yuh is ah boss.
F00ck that, yuh better than any sport write we have in T&T right now.
Who vex, get brush.
We will have a big problem soon, we have no strikers, I feel Hartie need to either convert one of his midfielders to one or try and bring in some youths and see if he could break them out like, Shackiel Henry, Ricardo John, Nicholas Dillon, Kadeem Corbin, Jonathan Godette, Nathan Regis, Noah Powder, Isaiah Hudson, Jerren Nixon or Brent Sam.
-
Sam, ah like the way yuh thinking. This article really bring out the best and positive in all of us. Once this generation stays injury free the future is bright.

With many good mids, maybe Joevin can be given a shot as a striker if needed. He does have some qualities of a striker, fast, can shoot, like to run at defenders and can beat defenders. The big problem it's a very difficult position to learn in a short period, things like making and timing of runs behind the D-line, playing with your back to defenders and dealing with hard tackles will be difficult.
-
In my opinion, this eh no headache. This great for the team. THE TEAM. The only headache maybe from guys who want to play. It is great when we have all these players available. What we really need is friendlies. Even unofficial friendlies.

Well you forget Jerrel Britto who is likely to be promoted to Murcielagos first team in Ascenso MX, a league that some people consider higher quality than MLS or at least on par.

What position he does play for them?
He has been playing as forward for the reserves team in the Segunda Premier which serves like USL for Mexico (third tier). Althoughhe has missed a few games because of hamstring issues, he has done well in the ones he played scoring 4 goals in 8 appearances. The team is in playoffs quarter finals and he should be making his come back in the second leg on saturday.
Here are his stats: http://www.segundadivisionfmf.org.mx/jugador.php?p=7564

Lester Peltier has really drop, hope he is ok.
I wonder if any clubs is showing interest in him?

What about Cameron Roget and Jameel Perry from Police?

Thanks Tallman.
Apart from Perry, the little I've seen in the leagues, players like Akeem Redhead, Brent Sam, Isaiah Hudson, Shane Sandy, Kareem Riley, John-Paul Rochford, Jason Marcano, Jarred Dass, Quinn Rodney, Michael Basdeo, Nathaniel Garcia, Tyrel Emmanuel, Marcus Gomez and Shackiel Henry are some players who caught my eyes.
Jadel Poon-Lewis is a good keeper to watch.
-
What ever happened to Aikim Andrews?
He started off so bright, have no heard anything from him since his T&T debut.

Wired868: What was the trick with Kenwyne Jones? He seemed to have worked with you better than any other coach…
Hart: I think you would need to speak to Kenwyne about that. I try to always advise Kenwyne along certain lines and let him know if I am happy with what he is doing or if I am not happy with what he is doing. But I am also aware of the enormous strain he is under from the Trinidad public, which I think is unfair.
People don’t take into consideration the kind of attention other teams pay towards him. And what I’ve found is it has been very difficult to find a partner for Kenwyne who could create the type of service he would require. He is not the typical Trinidad and Tobago striker who could pick up and make room for himself or beat his man. He requires service. So the difficulty was to create situations where the service was close enough to him to exploit the space he creates by being double marked and/or to feed off things that come off of him, which is what (Kevin) Molino did so very well.
Wired868: You think Kevin Molino is by far the best partner for Kenwyne?
Hart: Yes. Because Kevin played close to Kenwyne. The other ‘number 10s’ (attacking central midfielders), so to speak, have a habit of playing close to the midfield. And, quite frankly, if a team is defending and the (opposing) ‘number 10’ is playing in the middle of the park, they have done their job.
But if the ‘number 10’ is finding room on the top of the penalty box, then it creates a problem. And Kevin has the ability to find room on the top of the penalty area.

Reading this article again from last August, I'm eager to see how Bostick will gel in attack with KJ and Molino in particular considering how well he executes his passes and delivery of the ball.

Who is Bostick?
;)
Bostock will play on the wing, something like this.
Bostock__Boucaud__Hyland__Jones
__________Molino______________
__________Kenwyne_____________
We real problem is de striking position.
In 2001 T&T under Porterfield de team run through this stage and when they reach de Hex they get nuff bull.
So Hartie have to try he best and get enough depth and give players some exposure before next year cause it could be real hard, no easy game next year.

I real butchering this man's name ;D
I like that line up. Levi coming off the bench fresh will be problems for defenders and Molino is catching his form.
I'm looking forward to see what the team in look like for the remainder of the year.

Jones has been effective running at defenders, last game he was more effective coming in from the right to a strong left footed shot, more problem for Hartie.

I am contrary to everybody that coach Hart is in a dilemma to pick his starting 11. The players on this team are not as consistent as yet. This is the squad that lost to Haiti, and struggled with Vincy in the first game. We still lacking stability and creativity in the middle. The occasional hiccups in the defense. We also have to look at goalkeeping. I think he has done a good job in motivating players(unfortunately, something did not click vs Haiti). I think position in GK, mid-field and defense still up for grabs.

You are right Deeks, nuff talent but they very inconsistent, especially the senior players like Hyland, Guerra and Peltier.
But remember, Cummings, Molino and Hector just came back.
We really need a man like Nahkid on this team, a deep lying midfielder who could bring de ball out of defence and spread it, only person capable is Boucaud and if Hyland could be more consistent, he to.
Lets see if Muckette, De Silva, Hackshaw or Jomal could be converted.
I still saying play Cyrus as a striker.
-
He doh have much of a headache when it comes to our frontline in important games. We have very few capable strikers at the moment
