Good Day Guys,
Is it me or is our defensive looking a bit old these days? Now there is nothing wrong with our players aging as they are bound to age with time, but my real question is who do we have to replace them? Do we have youthful defenders that can replace guys like Andrews, Lawrence, Sancho, John and even Gray? Will we be able to find Mid - High caliber defenders in our pro league?
No one ever talks about the next young defender who will hold down the back line for T&T? We have young talented strikers for days and even our midfield has some depth and youthful talent but what about defense. Where will we find the strength of Andrews, tackling of Sancho, Aerial skills of Lawrence, who will run the line like Avery or be as tenacious as Cyd? Sure we could throw some young defenders in the line up and say we have youth but more importantly, do we have talent, young defenders that are good enough to represent us on the international stage?
With all the talk about 2010 and looking to the future, all I here is which strikers will emerge as the starters for us and who running the midfield, but today my question is who the heck will defend? Can we enthusiastically look forward to Derek King (no disrespect intended), Anton Pierre and Marlon Rojas to revitalize our back line? Is Keno Thomas ever going to be given a chance, does Jlloyd Samuel qualify? Are we in trouble where our defense is concerned?
I don’t see very many successors for our present backline but I have been wrong before. If they are out there then who are they and when will we have a look at them?
What do you guys think?
