nail biting win vz antigua...
Maturana...hear nah.... de man pick power and edwards over gray and john... pick an unfit rusty whitley...and play he 4-5-1 vz antigua... so them 4-4-1-1 vz guatemala and USA was not his preferred system then??...
he change it in the 35th min...4-4-2 ...... with sealy on for wolfe...and arnold for whitley....
so he did not know all this before ??...ent dem training since sunday??..ent antigua play the u-20,s in tobago ??.. no scouts ??.. no info from vranes
anigua big..strong..some good pace in front with Byers etc...they not keeping no ball...playing a lil counter...
check this too.... he call dwarika to the team right
...which tells me he see the man in some PFL games and CCL games...yuh know he put arnold to play wide right ...then he finally put him in the middle...hyland was poor all night ..pick up a yellow...yet still he take off the energetic wolfe...and let hyland play 90 with a yellow for like 25 mins...silly....
quick ratings
phillips... rather sloppy tonight...5
hislop...sloppy...poor decisions.....5
thomas....flat...but decent...6
edwards....sorry for this kid...no confidence...poor...3
power..good engine...heads the ball well..some good overlap and crosses....but if yuh think he could replace Gray and stop the yellow and red card flow...well he is a card man also...but i know he coming off a lay off etc...good cover...6
Leon...poor...5
Hyland...poor poor poor...where is the Hyland vz england ??... and he carrying a "big player" style...only looked the part in the last 10 mins...4
whitley...well i was asking small mag on the way to the game if whitley played any matches or reserve team matchs for connection recently...or if he "still" with connection...so what basis was he recalled ... because babwha say he drop foof gone
.. so what we put the man iun for ?/..with the armband...wont it be better if he came on for a last 20 mins and work his way back in
.....4
daniel...starting to fall off also...and i am sure thats to do with his club..his bad trial with west ham...it looks mental...but he did well on the night....7
wolfe...bustle, hustle and energy...but he does it with the ball also..so always looks like he is going to lost control of the ball...wrongly subsituted....6
Glenn..."de" star boy...needs a slap around the ear from "real" star boys... well i guess he is the only tnt player in history to hit a world cup post ...so he is a star,,,,scored a good header... 5
subs
Dwarika...as he said on TV last night before tha game " you will get Arnold"..and thats what we got...some neat passing...some mismatched bounce around in midfield...cross foot...drag ( left foot one)... his first touch for the goal he scored was worth the price of admission..serious... and he was involved in all 3 goals... 7
sealy...did some hustle around...and did well to knock back some smart passes with his back to goal..... 6
Toussaint... tickle tickle here and there....was stange that 2 defenders refused to tackle him in the box for the goal he scored...loked like they were afraid to give up a penalty...good finish...5
to me maturana should start these first 2 matches with the strongest 11... secure the group and give the other players a chance in the last match...
