20-man squad for warm up tour before El Salvador.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).
A 20-man Trinidad and Tobago squad has been named to travel to Argentina for a live-in training camp on January 21 as the “Soca Warriors step up their preparation for the opening match of the 2010 Final Round of World Cup qualification away to El Salvador on February 11.
The squad is inclusive of mostly home based players and will be cut following the Argentina leg of the upcoming tour. That will be closely followed by the naming of the selected overseas-based players who will be invited to form the final 18-man squad to face El Salvador.
Head Coach Francisco Maturana has kept faith with at least ten players who have been part of the team’s 2010 World Cup campaign thus far. But there are some new faces with Clico San Juan Jabloteh midfielder Trent Noel being recalled and there are also first time call ups for Jabloteh defender Robert Primus and W Connection’s Andrei Pacheco. Noel had one appearance in a 2-2 draw with Puerto Rico in January since Maturana’s appointment while Pacheco was part of the 2007 Gold Cup squad.
Puerto Rico Islanders forward Kendall Jagdeosingh has also been invited while there are recalls for 2006 World Cup team midfielder Densill Theobald and French-based winger Kevaughn Connell who is currently unattached but has been in training with French Third Division team Cassis Carnoux.
W Connection goalkeeper Marvin Phillip who suffered a stab wound before the Christmas holidays, is also included and is expected to recover sufficiently to take up training on the upcoming tour.
Newly appointed Assistant Coach Russell Latapy arrives back in Trinidad on the weekend and will accompany the team in a player/coach capacity. Latapy shared his views on the build up to the El Salvador encounter.
“I think it’s an excellent opportunity for the players to come together to prepare for the match against El Salvador. I know it’s a training tour but I would not want any of the players selected to think of it as just a training team or a training trip. They must all go into it with the feeling that it’s a great opportunity for them to fight and earn that place in the final World Cup team,” Latapy told TTFF Media on Monday.
“Personally I’m looking forward to the trip because it’s my first one in this capacity and it’s the first time in quite a while that I will get that opportunity to work and prepare with a National Team since I’ve began playing professionally abroad so from that side of it I’m really excited.
“But at the same time I think it’s important that I sit down with the Head Coach and we can be able to share our views with regards to the preparation of the team. I’m really looking forward to working with him and the rest of the staff and the boys as well. I think if we can both share our views then it allows me to have his respect and he will have mine as well which I think will be excellent for the team and the football in Trinidad and Tobago in general,” Latapy added.
Latapy also shared his thoughts on the amount at stake for players vying for selection on a World Cup team.
“I’ve seen a lot of potential in the boys around now and it’s just a matter of us on the staff now being able to get the team to play the right way to get the right results. I think if we can prepare well and get everyone to understand their respective roles and work in proper execution then we will be in fine shape.
“Back in my day as a younger player now coming into the national set up there wasn’t much opportunities for players to get professional contracts abroad but that’s not the case now and I think there is a lot more at stake for upcoming players now. And you’ve got to enjoy what you are doing. Players can’t always work hard if there’s no time to enjoy it too. There has to be a time to sacrifice and work hard and a time to play and enjoy a bit of it,” Latapy added.

Glad to see Roberts Primus, Pacheco and Trent Noel call up.

Hope they put Osei Telesford in right back and nothing more.
But say what, nice team.. !!!!

So yuh mean we doh have a next goal keeper in the country to 'blood' boy ?
Phillip now come off some major trauma (unless the news was exaggerated) and still recovering and they sending him on a tour in South America ?
He coulda stay here..."under the watchful eyes" of somebody while he try to regain his fitness.
If Williams get injured in a game or training, wha they go do...send Phillips in the goal ?

This is your opinion .. I think its a nice lil squad. I wouldnt want to be in the trenches with Cyd and Avery,especially on the road with the chance of playing with a man down because of a stupid red card, and or a dotish penalty. I'm Whitley's biggest fan but he is not even close to being fit based on recent outings. James is a very good player but what trench he was in ???? The men who see real trench overseas.... everybody know dat...
-
So it better for we defenders to get run pass like a practice cone than they get blade. Wingers and forwards know these options (those listed so far) we coming with soft so they can gto at them. With Cyd and Avery they may think twice before running at them cause they know might be blade.
We will always struggle cause what things like this confirms is THERE IS NO PLAN. We like headless chicken, no direction and eventually we will end up dead after all the beating up.

Boss i does respect every man's opinion on this board , after all most of us are just speculating and giving their take. i on the other hand respectfully disagree with what you call ah good squad.
the team is ah sh!t team without the foreign based, that's why grenada buss we arse, BC the locals soft as pap, and another thing , the football will not grow under maturana BC the man is ah mad bull and don't know what de fack he doing!!!
if we finish 5th in the hex i'll be quite suprised that we did that well. if mad bull still running the show we finishing ded last!!!! mark my words!
he picking pure losers and wet behind the ears rookies, @ least wim didn't have no choice , but this battyhole have over 16 black list players to chose from and he only playing ah set ah lame duck unfit locals instead.
boss i hate sean power with ah passion , and it was justified,his performance was abbysmal in the GC in 07, pacheco is another green mango, edwards sucks all round , he's slow, awful going forward and green as canal moss.
give me avery and cyd any day even though i doh rate them that much, but i rather be in the trenches with them than anyone else.
you and ah whole bunch of trini's fail to realise one thing , the standard of football in T&T real real poor, and even though we have ah diamond mine, they still need ah refinery, and dat is what we don't have.
our standard like i said is piss poor and it shows, in order for these locals to be competative we either have to raise the bar and real quick,that or send them to ah refinery. we don't have time to train new soldiers , as you could see the hex is opon us.

Am i the only member who this crazy Colombian does make feel to pull out their f#@kin hair!!!!! :frustrated: here nah man this fella don't have ah clue.
the man picking ah different team every outing, he pick stern for the bermuda games then he drop him for cuba even though the man score twice.
he then went with glen and roberts for cuba, then he drop roberts for USA and gueatemala. he then brings back stern and roberts for guatemala and USA in the return matches even though stern was injured.
he then drops bleeder for almost the whole yr, and brings him back for USA in chicago, he then drops him for the rest of the campaign, went to the digicel without him and then all of ah sudden he's back on the team??? ???
he picks dwarika for the digicel and played him once , he then said it was the best local team, but now he seemed to change his tune, now he bring back connell for about the 4th time, now he experimenting with noel and Pacheco again, plus this primus guy getting ah look @!!
my question is , when will this mad kakahole settle on ah core of worthy players to rep we in the hex, the man is out for lunch and dinner dread!!!! like jack warner can't see this man will cost us ah trip to SA or what! why is he still here, fire him already JACK!!!!

The squad is inclusive of mostly home based players and will be cut following the Argentina leg of the upcoming tour. That will be closely followed by the naming of the selected overseas-based players who will be invited to form the final 18-man squad to face El Salvador.
The foreign based players is we back bone to SA2010 and even dat jackass Maturana know dat . No need for de foreign based to go to Argentina,dem fellas fit and playing nuff ball with their clubs over the last few days .

Yeh i know that, but cyd , avery , james and whitley is locals, BC it have ah few US based fellas in the 20 man squad,telesford and jagdoesing playing for PR islanders.
breds it eh have no cyd and avery in the team period and that bothers me, to see power, A edwards and pacheco @ the heart of our defence is ah frightening thing, not even atiba charles getting ah lil bligh, but these jokers on the squad.
ah hate it.

latapy help pick the team now that corneal is out of the picture, why allyuh think noel and theobald get a recall, and big mag its controversial and im still waiting for your answer and it better not be fenwick
-
My concern is not with the team itself, but with the inconsistency of the selection over the last year. When will we settle with a core group and give them an opportunity to work together? This is a team game not a game of individual artists. We can have the best players in the world, but if they don't play together we will consistently lose to US, Mexico and CR.

Daiz not de team playing El Salvador, chief. Dey go be training and maybe playing some small team in Argentina. Dis is actually de perfect time for some experimentation. Plus 3 of those 4 new faces, people have been clamoring for o be on the team for a long time. Especially Noel and Pacheco.
Where you get that from?? breds read the article carefully, after they leave argentina is off to el salvador. these are the locals who will prep along with the foreign based for the feb 11th game in el salvador.
This is your opinion .. I think its a nice lil squad. I wouldnt want to be in the trenches with Cyd and Avery,especially on the road with the chance of playing with a man down because of a stupid red card, and or a dotish penalty. I'm Whitley's biggest fan but he is not even close to being fit based on recent outings. James is a very good player but what trench he was in ???? The men who see real trench overseas.... everybody know dat...
Boss i does respect every man's opinion on this board , after all most of us are just speculating and giving their take. i on the other hand respectfully disagree with what you call ah good squad.
the team is ah sh!t team without the foreign based, that's why grenada buss we arse, BC the locals soft as pap, and another thing , the football will not grow under maturana BC the man is ah mad bull and don't know what de fack he doing!!!
if we finish 5th in the hex i'll be quite suprised that we did that well. if mad bull still running the show we finishing ded last!!!! mark my words!
he picking pure losers and wet behind the ears rookies, @ least wim didn't have no choice , but this battyhole have over 16 black list players to chose from and he only playing ah set ah lame duck unfit locals instead.
boss i hate sean power with ah passion , and it was justified,his performance was abbysmal in the GC in 07, pacheco is another green mango, edwards sucks all round , he's slow, awful going forward and green as canal moss.
give me avery and cyd any day even though i doh rate them that much, but i rather be in the trenches with them than anyone else.
you and ah whole bunch of trini's fail to realise one thing , the standard of football in T&T real real poor, and even though we have ah diamond mine, they still need ah refinery, and dat is what we don't have.
our standard like i said is piss poor and it shows, in order for these locals to be competative we either have to raise the bar and real quick,that or send them to ah refinery. we don't have time to train new soldiers , as you could see the hex is opon us.
Please realise that this 'nice lil squad squad' as I put it, is not the mainstay of the squad that will play in the Hex.. I was just pleased to see the type of players that were called up. As for Avery and Cyd ... yuh talking bout blade???, good defenders rarely have to pelt blade, often times that means that yuh not reading the game or your positional play inadequate or it could also mean that yuh not getting proper support from yuh midfield etc etc etc. whatever...
James is a very good player, why he wasnt selected, we dont know and as yuh quite rightly suggested , any attempt to explain same will be pure speculation. Whitley not fit, this camp is to pick a squad who will be ready to play the first game in the Hex. Will Cyd, Avery, James and Whitley partake in the campaign??? Its a good chance that they probably will but for now I will be nice to get some younger players involved...they may have a part to play later in the Hex and of course, coaches like to have options. Look at the USA squad for their warm ups and see how much 'regulars' or 'trench men' in the squad...
And yes, I too respect everybody lil imput and I also find that Power have too many bad habits....but overall, ah like the squad
