Truth be told, Gentlemen, i'm sure all or some of us have played some kind of competitive football at some point in our lives, whether it be at the secondary school level, or in the cities where we all now reside or whatever, and we can at least be reasonable and fair in our judgement. That being said: Who in their right mind really think that Shaka had a chance on ANY of them three goals that Liverpool scored?!? Truth be told, currently, Ince really is the best out of the three of them.........but he and Jack are not consistent. As big a fan of Shaka's as I am, I do concede that he has lost a step, but he is the most consistent of the three and, aside from the HOWLER against Guatemala he is not as error-prone as Kelvin Jack is. Kelvin Jack is making the kind of errors (and worse) that Shaka was making when he was playing for Newcastle, losing his cool and arguing with officials when needing to focus on the game (Bahrain, game 1) mis-kicking and giving the ball to Landon Donovan on top of the 18-yard box (USA game in Connectucut), dropping crosses at opponents' feet for them to score (Dundee, three weeks ago) and who could forget the disallowed goal in Bahrain? Besides, as big a gap in quality as there is between T&T and the other three teams in our group (do we REALLY think we can beat ANY of those three teams when they are fielding a FULL INTERNATIONAL SQUAD, PLAYING FOR ALL THE MARBLES?!?) is it really our goalkeeping that is going to make a difference for us. Give me Shaka until Jack or Clayton can be consistent.
Given our defence....shots going to be coming in regular on our goalie. Shaka USED TO BE a good shot stooper...nah...an excellent shot stopper. Sad to say...now.....shots come his way and he frequently stretchin & failin to get because
1 - HE LATE GOIN AFTER DE BALL
2 - NO LONGER HAS THE AGILITY THAT HE HAD BEFORE
Shaka was never that good at coming off of his line re: the cross ball.
What Shaka does have is the experience and a commanding presence with his defenders.
If Ince is ON in the training camp....and performs like how he can....he should be #1.
But Jack always gives it his all and we ALL saw AGAIN why Jack is currently number 1
Yes...he is prone to the calamitious error....but more oten than not...at least ONCE in every game...he makes the save to keep the team in it. He is another one who isn't that good with the cross ball but he is probably the best shot stopper of them all.
I believe that shot stopping ability is going to be more of an asset to the team than the error prone issue.
