Title: Problem with the Team
Post by: 1989 on June 21, 2006, 06:13:28 PM
Our biggest challenges during this world cup was getting into an attacking mode, and secondly the team only has one quality striker - Stern John.

All of the other teams knew this and so they shut down our lone striker and we couldn't score a single goal.  Carlos, Yorke, Dwight, Birchall, Glenn, and Latapy all had clear shots on goal and none scored - some even failed to trouble the goal keeper.  I really think that the shot that Yorke had in this last game would have hit the back of the net if Stern had taken it, but again Paraguay like everyone else relentlessly crowded Stern and rendered him ineffective.

I really hope that we start developing new strikers so that no team could pull off what they did to us in this world cup again.  Right now, I think that Glenn is looking very good, but besides him we have nobody. 
Not a worry though, because there will definitey be new talent coming up especially after our excellent showing in this tournament.

WTD just be careful with your words... >:(

I am commenting on our overall performance.  Everyone has agreed that we were primarily defensive in our playing, just read a few articles on FIFA.  Paraguay was different - and it was different because it was do or die at that time.  The reality is, attacking wins games.  You don't normally score by defending.

But I'm not going to get off on some tangent that I never intended.  I support the team 100% and I would like to see them win as many games as they can.

Aye fool, you can't read or what?  Learn to read before you cuss ok?!!!

In the post I stated that Glen is looking good.  He is already a threatening striker.
All others need further development to be threatening at this level.  Of course, I concede that Scotland didn't get a chance in this World Cup, but the point of my post is that we need to start creating more deadly strikers, so that we no longer depend solely upon one star man.

Please get of that ignorant cuss before I think bus.

the problem with our team is not Stern John or that we don't have quality strikers. The problem is our midfield.  We lack a midfield that can make the transition from defense to attack and vice versa effectively on a consistant basis. The only midfielder on our team who does this consistantly and effectively is Carlos Edwards.

The reason why we defended so well from against sweden and england is because our entire midfield played defence.  However in those two games when we went forward we never had more than two players in the box except on set pieces.  Anyone with a football brain who watched the games could see that our midfield didn't push too far forward because they were afraid to get caught on the counter attack.  We have attacking players in Jones, Glen, Scotland, Samuel etc.  The problem is playing an attacking lineup creates an imbalance in our team and leaves our defence vulnerable.


Yesterday's game was a perfect example.  We played the most attacking football of all three games but our defence also looked the most shakey of all three games.

We had no problem transitioning from midfield to the forward line.  But come on people!!! How could your main striker not have one meaningful shot in de World Cup in three games.  Everybody else in the midfield and forward line got at least one shot.   That is terrible!!!
 
Maybe Beenie wanted de man to hold up de ball but ....Jeeezzz an ages.... de man is de top scorer for dis country and he cyar make de opposing keeper make one save.  Poor positioning, lack of talent, who knows....but I have heard from friends and family in England and they say Stern is way too lazy for an international striker at this level.  Cornell have the skills and speed required.  No World Cup team will allow a striker to just stand up in the box and wait for ball to come to him....Yuh have to run at defenders and find space!!!!

Like you eh  see Terry clearing Sterns header off the line,or de header he miss from de corner or de pass he give Glenn to hit de cross bar ...Stern did many other things,he held the line well and brought the midfield into play,all de time being properly roughed up by some ah de best defenders in de world....'We had no problem transitioning from midfield to the foward line' ..are you serious ? what games were you watching ?  when Stern distrubutes that ball to the midfield he cyar get it back, doh blame him for that.De only shot that hit de woodwork, is Stern give de pass,how come he eh get one ah dem passes from anyone.l Yuh talking bout 'yuh have to run at defenders and find space'...it easy for  yuh to sit down behind yuh computer ah type dat ,buh go out on the pitch and do it nah, all yuh cyar even make de bench far less geh ah invitation tuh practice wid ah small goal side, buh you know exactly what TnT leading goal scorer shudda do in de WC tuh geh shots at goals....Until somebody on the TnT team show dey cud score like Stern(and for anybodys information 12 goals in de concacaf wasn't 10years ago it was just de odda day, for we to qualify) he is still we best goal scoring striker in TnT .

We attack for the whole Paraguay game, and what was the result?

Post by: Latent on June 22, 2006, 07:14:14 AM
The problem for us in that Paraguay game was our finishing. We played all over them in the second half, we just could not put away our chances. This may indicate that we lack a clinical finisher in the team. Even the European commentatator admitted this when he said that TnT lacks a cutting edge up front.

I am hoping with the future forwards and strikers like Cornell Glen, Colin Samuels and Kenwyn Jones would develop into one of these persons. They are already good forwards who can run at the defense, get pass defenders and put away one in every two or three chances they get. Hopefully, they will continue to improve and become even greater than they are now.

Just one thing of note, I believe that someone should have been feeding the ball a little more to Birchall so that he would have been able to take more outside shots during our World Cup games. He had excellent games in midfield but his shooting was lacking in the World Cup.

''think that Glenn is looking very good, but besides him we have nobody''


but tell me have you ever seen Kenwyne Jones, Jason Scotland or Collin Samuel play!?

stewps... imps we have plenty strikers with lots of talent other than Stern John... infact I think almost all of our strikers down to Anthony Wolfe might not be as polished as Stern but have much more talent than he ever did.

Even fellahs like Scott Sealy will be continueing to develope in the next four years so im not worried atol...


but dont come with this setta f**kery that other than John and Glenn we doh have no quality strikers... you need to go to the Gols galore section and watch all de Kenwyne Jones goals... then, tell me if deman is not a quality striker...




The problem with the team is not quality striker its the lack of an attacking chemistry between our attacking midfeild players and the forwards... Look at Real Madrid... chok full of talented players and yet they cah score... 1989 sometimes its not all about the quality...        i may look like a simple equation but its not.... like Beenie said himself... ''in football 1+1 doesnt always =2''

Paps!  What is the deal with you and Stern John? No one is saying that he's not good or he can't play he was not doing a good job which should have resulted to him sitting on the bench.  And you start talking about who could da or can't play small goal crap!

i agree with the threadstater... but the truth is the only shot we took dat was a clear shot by a striker released into the penalty was glenn's shot against sweden, playing balls across the face of goal is a 50/50 ting especially if men marking your strikers as tighly as stern was in all 3 games...
ppl like to quarrel about stern,how he born offside and shit.. but nobody eh notice dat for the offside when had get d ball behind the paraguay defence dat he tried to run off the last defender - KENWEYNE JONES NEVER DOES THIS - and with his speed he would be more effective...
stern really did not get the support required to honestly call hima dead weight and i think it's unfortunate dat ppl are saying he dragged down the team, when i all reallity you can't score if you don't get the ball into postions where chances can be taken...
of our strikers glen, stern and scotalnd have the most complete game... kenweyne jones seems to be a slow learner, and samuel's finishing is erratic...

btw i think stern had a poor game on tuesday, but i thought he played well against sweden and england and ppl just expect him to score goals so ppl say he eh do nothing...

Lawd! Well I didn't read d whole thread, but I do have dis 2 say ... in d past, in d lead up 2 d world cup, one a d major problems d T&T team had, was dat dey didn't always have such a strong defense. Dey needed to make dey weakness (lack of defense) into a strength in order for d other teams not to beat dem. And daz exactly wat dey did. Den dey needed to build an attack based on top dey defense & daz wey dey failed, end of story.

Personally, I find, dey shuda put Latas on d field much earlier, cuz iz really only wen dey put him on dat we start 2 get goal scorin opportunities, cuz I tink he helped create many a dem and atleast he managed to keep d ball in d Paraguay half a d field 4 most a d time wen he was dey. B4 dat T&T was havin trouble keepin d ball in dat part a d field.

D other ting is dat I believe d coach & d team new dat dey defense was sumtin dey needed desperately 2 improve upon, so daz probably y dey made it a defensive play strategy in d beginin. Also sum1 mentioned to me dat dey really needed 2 put 3 strikers on d field in order to really have a chance at scorin, not just one or two.

Like you eh  see Terry clearing Sterns header off the line,or de header he miss from de corner or de pass he give Glenn to hit de cross bar ...Stern did many other things,he held the line well and brought the midfield into play,all de time being properly roughed up by some ah de best defenders in de world....'We had no problem transitioning from midfield to the foward line' ..are you serious ? what games were you watching ?  when Stern distrubutes that ball to the midfield he cyar get it back, doh blame him for that.De only shot that hit de woodwork, is Stern give de pass,how come he eh get one ah dem passes from anyone.l Yuh talking bout 'yuh have to run at defenders and find space'...it easy for  yuh to sit down behind yuh computer ah type dat ,buh go out on the pitch and do it nah, all yuh cyar even make de bench far less geh ah invitation tuh practice wid ah small goal side, buh you know exactly what TnT leading goal scorer shudda do in de WC tuh geh shots at goals....Until somebody on the TnT team show dey cud score like Stern(and for anybodys information 12 goals in de concacaf wasn't 10years ago it was just de odda day, for we to qualify) he is still we best goal scoring striker in TnT .

Boss!!! What HOT SH#T you talkin dread.....De bottom line is yuh main striker is suppose to get shots at goal...That is his main purpose.  Even if Beenie want de man to hold up de ball sometimes, as the pointman for scoring goals yuh have to take shots at some point.  Yuh see the mess Ronaldo playin right now...but yet still he still taking shots even if dey eh score.  That goal Terry clear off de line was a BUBBLED header, (I watch it over about 3 times) if Stern had connected to it properly it would have scored (country's top scorer....put head on ball....GOAL).  I agree with yuh though.... I cyar make de bench.....and how does dat change de fact that he EH TAKE NO SHOTS!!!!  I thankful to de man for scoring de goals in CONCACAF qualifying but what I am saying is "AT WORLD CUP LEVEL YUH CANNOT STAND UP WHOLE GAME AND EXPECT QUALITY TEAMS TO LET YUH SHOOT AT DE GOAL.  Yuh sometimes have to create your own chances.

No one is saying that he's not good or he can't play he was not doing a good job which should have resulted to him sitting on the bench.  And you start talking about who could da or can't play small goal crap! You are starting to get on my nerves! Like Stern John is yuh man or what... stop riding his dick! He was a no show in the worldcup and that is that.

I realise here once you cuss someone you are right. There are videos on the games that Trinidad and Tobago played at the WC. It will show how ineffective Stern Has been in terms of his positioning. That's the main reason he had no quality shot on goal. No one could get the ball to him cause he is hiding behind the defender.

When you play in the caribbean region the defending is not all that good so it's easy to get in behind the defence with balls over the top. However at this level this would not work so easy, now you have to be smarter and find new ways to get the ball from the mids or defender.

You  can argue all you want, he strolled around not doing very much. He kept complaining to the ref the defender jumping on him, how un-smart is he? If the defender goes straight up then he can come down almost anywhere. Now to get the foul you have to jump to.

The only way to fixa problem is to first admit there is a problem.

Not to pile on Stern....but it was also noticeable how much time when he didn't get de ball (many times due to his not runnin into space) how he used to fling he hand and bawl out de man who was passin to him.....more often than not Theobald.  I actually felt bad a couple times for Densil.  People sitting near to us actually asked us what that was about.  Embarassing.  Now anybody who bin watchin Stern over the years not surprised because is long time he doin dat.  Maybe is jes he personality...but it look bad AT THE WORLD CUP.  Not exactly the way to win potential scouts over to your side.

That said.....I also saw him moving into space as soon as Latas came on.  Shit...de man even try a reverse pass to latas when in de box when we all know Stern doh do dem ting on a regular basis.  Guess some of it have to do wit respect.

i ain't no expert  and if i wrong well i learn something
 but find all yuh real hard on stern especially when we had no ideas coming out of midfield 1st 2 games and everybody else chok up in we own defensive 3rd.
It was easy to make him ineffective when the defenders just have to defend him alone
how he supposed to get chances and have all them shots all yuh want if the midfield can't keep the ball? 
all the movement yuh calling for who was finding him?-bleeder and me mum with the quality distribution them 2 displayed.  ;) 

the man wasn't as bad as allyuh making it sound, under the circumstances he did what he could.
crespo klose wanchope all the others had a midfield producing something meaningful going forward-stern unfortunately wasn't that lucky.

Stern is mih boy and I can say that I was a bit disappointed about his performance in the WC.

The general attacking plan seemed get the ball to Stern (from edwards, yorke or theo), let him hold it up (most often back to goal), the time the midfield (yorke, birch, whitley, samuel) get into position to blast or to play a one two with him.

That said, I notice something. Stern almost NEVER get a free ball for the whole tournament. He had men all over his back on almost every single play. Even his two best chances, England defenders was breathing down he neck at every occassion. It would sem that the WC teams had more respect for Stern than half of this board becaus they didn't just stand up and let him shoot (you know the man who does miss sitter after sitter after sitter!)

That said, something else i noticed in the paraguay game that nobody seem to bring up is how fast we revert to that BSC long ball kick and rush over the top as soon as we take the goal. I was screaming at men in the defensive midfield to put the fing ball down on the ground. 3/4 of the time when we put the ball down we would get it back immediately if PAraguay ever managed to intecept it.

I don't believe that that systematic  long ball over the top was Beenie idea and for that matter, it doesn't fit Stern game. It look like the players panic and got desperate for long stretches,, because when they came out of the dressing room, they put the ball back down. It boiled down to a lack of patience when the buildups were broken up too frequently by the PAra defensive/mid. The long ball is great for counterattacks because it gets the ball up the field fast, but in a game where we're supposed to bring the attack to the other team, thats not what we needed to do...

I think for stern to be more effective he would have had to fall back way too deep into mf but for that you need a second striker with speed...and you need to have the ball. We saw what happened with Glenn on the counter against Sweden and then it might have worked if Glenn didn't get injured against Para.

From what I saw of Kenwyne, that just wouldn't have worked with him, the only other man to do that would have been a Samuel.

Stern is neither  a speed merchant nor a dribbler. In open play his strength lies in his doggedness and determination because he seems to have lost the Stern Turn irremediably. It basically means that he either has to receive the ball perfectly over the top or that he has to drop back and try to shoot like the one he buss from outside the box against the Mexico keeper on the break. His other option is to provide screens for his teammates attack, which he did all tournament. the problem is that there weren't that many attacks...

Where he really disappointed imo was on set pieces, but I don't think the quality of the corners and free kicks were good enough (for that matter, i would like to know why me mum wasn't our designated set piece taker) to justify railing on him for not scoring given the defensive cover he had all tournament

''think that Glenn is looking very good, but besides him we have nobody''


but tell me have you ever seen Kenwyne Jones, Jason Scotland or Collin Samuel play!?

stewps... imps we have plenty strikers with lots of talent other than Stern John... infact I think almost all of our strikers down to Anthony Wolfe might not be as polished as Stern but have much more talent than he ever did.

Even fellahs like Scott Sealy will be continueing to develope in the next four years so im not worried atol...


but dont come with this setta f**kery that other than John and Glenn we doh have no quality strikers... you need to go to the Gols galore section and watch all de Kenwyne Jones goals... then, tell me if deman is not a quality striker...




The problem with the team is not quality striker its the lack of an attacking chemistry between our attacking midfeild players and the forwards... Look at Real Madrid... chok full of talented players and yet they cah score... 1989 sometimes its not all about the quality...        i may look like a simple equation but its not.... like Beenie said himself... ''in football 1+1 doesnt always =2''

Jefferz, if you have any sense you would realize that nobody was worried about Kenwyne Jones during the world cup.  The only person that Sweden and England sacrificed numbers for was Stern.  In the Sweden game Beenhakker did not send on Jones, he sent on Glen which forced Sweden to put back more players.  Clearly this is an indication of who is already polished versus who is not.

Jones also started in the England game, no worries, the England players' focus remained with Stern.  Glen came one, and they started to mark him hard, and he still ran through them.

Jones is not in this category, Samuels could run but scoring consistently is far off, Scotland could score but he still needs development - and quite frankly he is nowhere near as deadly as Stern.  Stern scores impossible goals consistently, Glen is fast and deadly - all the others will need further development.

This is not to knock the team - they did very well - it is simply point out our current weaknesses.

Hear what is my take on it.

We had to be very defensive in the first part of the games against Sweden and England. The plan was to fustrate them. Then spring Cornel Glen on them along with Latapy.

1st game:- Unfortunately Avery got the red card so that means we are short one sub and so the game plan is out the window.

2nd game:- that sending off carried on to the England game as we were already short 1 sub basically, and even so I belive that we would all have been happy with a point....that we would have got had it not been for Crouch's "Hairdressing".

3rd game:- The injury to Glen threw the game plan out again, using up a vital Sub.

Every game circumatances meant that we had to alter our original game plan, thus reducing the playing time that Latapy got. My Opinion is that he would have not played against Englant at all.
