First he was focusing on team defense... what does Latapy know about that? The team was losing consistently.
Now, he is saying, we winning or losing with offense, which is the best defense.
I don't paticularly agree, but he is doing what he knows best.
It's almost as if Latapy is saying, "I going with what I know, and giving it MY style and my best shot. After that, let the chips fall where they may."
Let's see how this goes... Good luck Latapy.

I want to see if anyone on this board is going to give credit where credit is due!!

Andre you can't be realistically be saying that based on two victories against Guyana and St Vincent .... can you?
-
Credit to Latapy, but St Vincent, Guyana and a under 23 Haiti team... and when we meet Martinique, Jamaica and Panama we sucking salt.
When Latapy could do this consestently he will get my respect.
According to my boy coops - T&T just have to win a game and we does forget everything that going on until we loose again, beating St Vincent, Guyana, Barbados etc is not progress, I thought we pass that stage.
And yes, Latapy did good so far in the Digicel Cup. Remember, Grenada knock we out last time and Latapy was we assistant who was also coaching during games because Maturana english was poor, so let wait and see.

De problem wit dat is it only seems to work against teams whose defense is more of a mess dan ours. Plus it requires us to have a high conversion goal conversion rate.
Look at de WCQ we play against Costa Rica in Tobago last year. Dat was some of de best attacking football I have seen us play in years. Movement was fluid, passes were crisp, everytime we went forward it looked promising. But once we lorse de ball was thunder in we ass. Although we still had a right to win dat game based on de chances created ;D

i realise trinis hate to give props where props due.
3 victories in a row does well for the players and the coach's confidence. we could only hope they could carry on and improve how they playin.
well done to d boys and latas
I disagree with your statement simply putting it this way the fact that people post on this board and visit this board every day it's because they care about our countries football now where I agree with you is some props should be given for at least saving face for 3 victories in a row now read me carefully for most on this board including me if he starts beating tougher opposition in the likes of jamaica,honduras,costa-rica,mexico,colombia,el-salvador,guatemala,united states or even venezuela,then and only then I will rest my case and be the first to apologise to latas and say we reach.But until then I watching and saying if better can't be done let the worse continue.
-
real talk.. this doesnt mean anything until we win the tourny.. this group games should have been expected for us to win.. if we win the cup ill give em props. but this should be something to build on.
-
Hear nah it appears some have forgotton what happened to our game after 2006 and all the politricks associated with the drama
Now we have a new coach who is trying to reinvent our style and approach,which requires time and so we must be patient,otherwise attaining a ranking of 29 will continue to elude us
Can anyone remember when we had FIFA ranking of 29
I know (NOT BELIEVE) but know we have the coach to get us to such lofty status
WITHOUT FAITH WE WILL NEVER GET THROUGH THE GATE
Keep working your Magic.....MR RL
-
I'm ecstatic that our results have gone from ridiculously bad to creditable.
Who goin to fix our defense though? It needs fixin and Latas say he not on dat.

Ngozi, I do not always agree wid AS posts, but I must admit I do agree wid dis one. Hear meh nah star, de great MR.Pat Riley does always say, success begins wid beating the teams you suppose to beat and competing or winning against de teams are just as good or better dan you. Now, if you choose tuh reply read carefully and get meh point before doing so. Make ah long post short, wid Latapy being a young coach in de business, de de amount of experience he came in to this coaching job wid and de amount of tools (finance,etc) he was given to get his job done, he surely deserve some credit. Latapy, staff and of course de players, dey all deserve a round of :applause: :applause: :applause:. Of course it is no surprise to me, cuz de lil time ah on dis forum, ah know some ah all yuh like meh son. Ngozi, ah not just saying dis tuh you, but tuh all de members dat know themselves. May Allah bless your heart Latapy, keep doing yuh thing and getting good results for our beloved country and eventually dey will run out of words and apologise to you. Bless. HIGHLY BLESSED.

We goin Brazil!!!

De man asked to be evaluated on the Digicel Cup.....and it looking ok so far. I eh suprised by the sentiments. On one hand yuh go have people who eh want to think that 3 swallows make summer. Then on the other hand yuh go have the people who think credit should be given, especially in light of results very fresh in the memory. The team at least scoring.......(remember what happen with Belize?) On the other you could (should?) say that these teams (with the exception of Haiti) should be beaten.
We cant afford to take anything for granted. Just remember, it could be worse.
-
As far as the record shows we just won 3 games. I'm happy with that. I would be happier if we could win 5 more and restore our rightful position as Champions of the Caribbean.
-
Glad for the victory last night, I knew this Haitian team would not be able to withstand our attack. It would have been closer if they had played us in the first game of the tourney.
What I waitin on now is to see a quick evaluation on the team's performance by the staff and what changes need to be made. We need a defensive midfielder/bolt/sweeper in the midfield, whatever yuh want to call it. We need a strong presence in that area of the field going into the finals.
-
monkey gland raising bc we beat teams we should beat.
when latas beat martinique and jamaica, he will get an ease up, if he lose in the gold cup, time for the axe

Thank you.
"hitting his stride"? The man barely out the starter's box. Not to downplay his achievements, but let's hold off on the plaudits for now.

You's a real ole man dred, know how long me eh hear dat lol

I does rel hear dat ize a ole man. I young...just I know real ole people and does lime with dem.

He get flak and rightfully so for pathetic performances and results against some of these same teams in practice matches
He should get the credit for his team's results against these teams now, especially WHEN IT COUNTS.
Our team has a ways to go to convince THIS skeptic but I not goin to be one sided. I still think Latas is not de man to take us to an acceptable level but I'm happy and willing to be wrong.
Good luck and praying for continued improvement.

doh dig nutten... I mihself is ah old soul. Dai'z ah metaphor I used to hear as a child... well, not even hear, just read in some ah dem anglophile books they used to inundate we with in school. I just like the imagery it invokes and how well de analogy works.

Until we could beat the USA, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Jamaica and Mexico consistently with maybe a close away loss or draw, beating an undermanned Haiti, Guyana, and St. Vincent is meaningless.

Supa...
Believe it or not I not out here for Latas to fail and 3 wins statistically is three wins but, I just trying to be realistic about the scenarios to not raise my level of expectations too much unless it is warranted.
Latas is easily my favorite ever player but coaching wise I'm not seeing the ability to inculcate his knowledge into these players.
Realistically the improvement I see might be because he just brought in better players...so as a result the probability of him getting a positive result was naturally improved. But this is what we were hoping for before hand ... we didn't see tactical adjustments or improvement in the overall team play as a result of his coaching but more frustratingly he kept picking the same players over and over again and left out some of our obviously better players.
All we ask his for him to be open-minded and select the better players who can at least give us a chance to succeed.
Congrats on his three victories and I wish him well but he'll have to do a lil better to fully convince us that he ready ... we know that and I'm sure he does too!

We coulda never do that in the past anyway so what's yuh point? when last we beat a full squad american team? do i hear a full squad mexican team? let me lower the bar, a full squad costa rician team? i will lower the bar yet again, a full squad jamaican team? guatemala is ah tit for tat kind of situation, we could never beat then consistently anyway,but yuh was supporting all along.
finally it look like latas digging in and getting the team to perform. before we came into this tourney, everyone including me was sceptical of victory, now that latas proved us wrong for once , lets all rally round our minnow team and celebrate yes, it's been a long time coming and god alone knows how long it's going to last.

De man asked to be evaluated on the Digicel Cup.....
Actually, the man say eh working on a plan to get us to Brazil and that we were barely over 50% there when Anil tell him win the Digicel Cup or get fired. So at that point he say he had to try and win the digicel cup.
How that work into the overall plan we will never know. It might set us back now cause he had to stop building and put in stop gap measures to get us to the gold cup.
