T&T senior team call-up for Britto.
By: Randy Bando (ttproleague).
T&T and Clico San Juan Jabloteh U-17 talent Jerrel Britto has been named in a T&T Senior Team provisional squad preparing for an international warn-up against Grenada on Sunday.
Britto a talented forward was unselected for the 2007 World Cup in Korea, an upset in many minds. He went on to captain the T&T U-15s in the 2007 CFU tournament where he dominated as leading goalscorer despite T&T’s third place finish. The T&T talent enjoyed UK trials earlier this year as a number of clubs are hawking the Jabloteh youngster.
T&T head coach Francisco Maturana has revised a 25-man squad to prepare for the Grenada encounter with Charleston Battery striker Randi Patterson being excused.
Other new additions include U-17 player Zavion Navarro, 2007 U-17 World Cup goalie Glenroy Samuel, Jabloteh teenaged senior team midfielder Atulla Guerra and veteran defender Anton Pierre of Defence Force also earning a recall after a long layoff from the national senior team. United Petrotrin target man Jerrol Forbes also earned a call-up. The squad had their first training session on Monday morning at the Marvin Lee Stadium.
The full T&T squad are:
Goalkeepers—Marvin Phillip (W Connection), Glenroy Samuel (Caledonia AIA)
Defenders—Kern Cupid, Akeem Adams (W Connection), Makan Hislop (United Petrotrin), Akile Edwards, Anton Pierre, Michael Edwards (Defence Force), Kareem Smith (United Petrotrin), Keyeno Thomas (Joe Public)
Midfielders—Kerry Baptiste (Joe Public), Kevon Carter (Defence Force), Daniel Cyrus (U-17), Keon Daniel (United Petrotrin), Stephan David (Caledonia AIA), Aurtis Whitley, Ataullah Guerra, Lester Peltier (Jabloteh)
Forwards—Jerrel Britto (Jabloteh), Jerol Forbes (United Petrotrin), Connell Kevaughn (L’Entente Sannois Saint-Gratien), Jamal Gay, Zavion Navarro

I real like this man style... he bleeding real players so he's gonna have the best possible side... and we gonna have continuity.....
-
yeah giving them a taste of senior action
-
The amount a "bleeding" that going on we better hope that people could still run 90 minutes when things get serious.
-
Where is Kahleem Hyland? Like he really in england banging on Portsmouth' door? I want to see if Atulla Guerra is all the hype some fella here boasting bout.
-
One disadvantage of all this mixing and matching is it's impossible for players to get some sort of continuity and chemistry of playing together and a feel for understanding what each other is doing and anticipating what some players will do. I realize & understand this is the "audition stage" of the qualifying process but my only concern is do we have the time to be auditioning so extensively?
I have nothing against auditioning and checking out young talent, but how realistic is it to have 16 year old Jerrel Britto in the mix when you already have the likes of Kenwyne Jones, Stern John, Jason Scotland, Scott Sealey, Darryl Roberts, Randi Patterson, and Jamal Gay already established or somewhat established at the striker position?
If Britto was a defender, a position where we have NEED, I could more readily understand the move.
Anyway....nice exposure for dis yute and maybe this selection is more about helping him to get the necessary national experience that will allow him to more readily get a professional contract outside than anything else.
Good luck to all of the selected players.

Palos, to address yuh comment....I tink de man jes trying to make sure he explore every possible alternative, before de real action start. I tink de Maturana boy done have ah idea when he goh close de doors to de selection process. I personally feel dat de Britto boy is ah mad call.....but to each his own. Unless he is some kinda Freddy Adu or someting (who still not ready for his national team), den I tink ah overseas selection would have been more lucrative. Anyways, ah see wha de man doing.......I jes hope dat he make de right decisions when he making de final selection. But kudos still to de Britto boy, because it should be an honor to be selected at that young and tender age
-
You & palos should get ah job scouting, BC it seem's like allyuh have it all figured out. my whole out look on the matter is, yuh can't please trinidadians AT AAALLLL AT AAALLL AT AAALLLLLLL !!!
-
no body aint they sayin they aint happy....................we just sayin it aint practical dais all
and kiffy that quote is from palos eh :beermug:

Yuh right padnah. Who is me to be questionin a man dat tek teams to de World Cup and ting? Everyting nice and right on schedule. Thanks fuh puttin meh in meh place.

palos is ah man go hate on oxygen because he find it doh smell sweet.

As much as I dislike Wim and like Maturana, I have to agree with you.
Phew!

We were all complaining that the U-17 were getting pushed around at youth world cup and admiring how the Columbian and German players were already competing with big men back in their local leagues.
Then we complain when El Salvador and Guadeloupe beat the U-15s that they too magga,, too slow to be playing the ball into space, not facing physically tough enough opposition.
Now Britto, and these youths getting a chance to compete at a higher level and people vex. We don't even have an active, permanent U-17 coach, far less for a team picked right now. So we should just make Britto and them lo-lay on the sidelines?
Is Grenada we playing not Argentina.....Think not just about the immediate future but the intermediate and long term as well. 2 years from now in U-20 WC NOBODY will be breezing by Daniel Cyrus and Akeem Adams again, because they will have experience chasing down big horses playing in bigger leagues than PFL.
Realistically it will be difficult make 2010 anyway. But if we secure the future now we could still make 2010 World Cup and very well make the next 2. The problem with development is that it is not geared toward immediate gratification of the fans.
-
Zandolie......point taken, but guess what?.....dis is preparation for 2010 world cup, not 2014. It have odder age groups for dem brodders to play in, instead ah taking a more realistic man space. I not saying de cyah, make de side....probably he might be ah nice super-sub by then....is not about pleasing de fans, but is about winning matches. This selection process is not for "development" is for gelling. So tink about it from dat perspective
-
ALyuh must think about it from a "CAPS" perspective.
All dem fellas get trial and couldn't sign due to lack of caps.
Every name that Maturana select young and have potential to fly out so give them caps and let the foreign clubs develop them.
When they prove themselves out there bring them back as the finished product.
But I feel he keeping this back 4 constant...Cupid,Thomas(Veteran),Hislop,Edwards/Adams. This is a bit of continuity here.
I want to see Connell, Forbes and Britto in action.
The midfield I glad Carter is back...remember he score against Costa Rica but was playing as a fwd then, I think he had a clue in the day.
Finally is Grenada we playing, I think we should get a practice game vs Vincy Heat too as they playing Joe public this week as well.
After Bermuda let Maturana axe all the non performers and drop all who ent ready to their respective age groups.

That is a serious thing you talk deh. Gay will probably get signed by a lower league team l if he continues to get games. I suppose this will be good for his development and our long term standing in the confederation.
-
i want to agree with touches on this one but what about richard roy? devon modeste? josimar belgrave?
dem is men who playing ball now and cud get contract too
all i sayin is d yute know he aint go play so although he go be in awe of havin national traing i think the men who traing should be challengin for a place
u feel jorsling thinkin he hada work hard in traing again? when he look around an is only yute men doin striker drills with him?

Hmm how can I explain this ,when u explained it in your second paragraph with out knowing it .When the "qualifying process " starts and the english based returns ,the "continuity and chemistry" of these local based teams would be broken anyway ,not true ? . So what the harm in checking out our best prospects in the mean time .It was great the coach found a lost player in Forbes ,that impressed me and maybe he sees something special in Britto .Other ppl and yourself to answer the other parts of your post already .

The amount a "bleeding" that going on we better hope that people could still run 90 minutes when things get serious.
Midnight, even though i usually like your posts, i had to log in to respond but doh take it personal.

None taken.
It might seem apparent that I have a number of reservations about Maturana's selection policy, but I have also generally up to this point refused to openly voice them so as to avoid being the "wet blanket". It's been a while since my compatriots have been globally upbeat about the direction our football is heading, and trust me, I would be very happy to be wrong for my pessimism.
To be honest, my post was more a tongue in cheek comment on the use and misuse of the term "bleeding" by a number of posters and less a remark about said selection policy.
-
Well I have to agree with Palos and MidKnight on this one. Why not play men who more than likely WILL be on the team than jes run ah youth for de sake of ah run..if Bertille was de one up to he old tricks what allyuh woulda be saying.
I glad we have young talent, but I really doh see Britto being de type ah prodigy like ah Maradona or ah Norman Whiteside of Michael Owen...dat he go jes walk into the starting team come qualifiers. so what is de real scene? Like Maturana feel we have the spot locked up so he already grooming players to replace older ones come 2010?
Why bring in players into positions where we already have an abundance of available talents and neglect de spots where we short..as Palos rightly questioned.
Maybe dey trying to give him CAPS, but ah thougth fuh ah youth player dat eh so important?
I hate f**king Wim, but Maturana making meh wonder boy.
-
Maybe he finds it more effective to groom younger players, than it is to break the bad habits of our older players :-\

TT I thoght one of your biggest complaints bot Wim was that he was only out for himself and did not care bout the development of TnT football and player development?
So why now the problem with Maturana giving some of these kids a look see? If these are not the games for them to get a run, I cant think of a better time, the games will only get more and more important as we get closer to 2010.

Just when I start to say "Whey Truetrini making a turn around boy, nobody get no serious lick up in this thread. He even say Wim and not Wimp..." ;D
Anyway....
All this set of speculation on this forum...somebody cyah get to Fuentes and tell him to find out from Mats what is the real scene ? Mats and/or TTFF could say what the policy is.
While men assuming he grooming the youths, how come he ent groom them in the U20 and U23 teams. The way men in this forum does talk about them youths is like they is the best thing since slice bread, but yet still we cyah reach anywhere in international competitions in the lower age brackets. Reaching last year U17 WC was by the grace of God and we see what happen with the youths over there. Even the U15s get licks home right here. Half of them youths make the senior team before they play 5 games with the junior teams. I don't know if them Grenadians will care whether the man is 15 yrs or 30yrs old...them coming with real blade, cause is WCQ season.
Men speculating that he blooding youths for long term...but then he come and throw Anton Pierre in the mix. Anton Pierre ??? :o When last he make the NT ? Ent he should be in his 30s by now ?
Right now I wondering if is because we so starved for talent that any player who had a good intercol season getting a chance on the NT, simply because he has potential. I for one was not impressed with Jamal Gay against El Salvador. Gone are the days when you earn your call up to the NT, having already developed your skills. Now is like the NT is a training ground, where you could develop yuhself. Are we rushing these players ? And like I said before...we the paying public have to fork out we $100 to see the experiment first hand. Why they cyah charge a $30 and full the stands. I doh mind paying that to see the experimental side.
To say that is only Grenada, so is alright if we use the youths in that game, what kinda message we sending to the public, the youths, the Grenada NT and their public. Why we doh organise for the youths to play PFLteams, US/Honduras/Costa Rica/Mexico U20s or U17s. Those are the teams they will have to face up with later. Telling them that they good enough to face a Grenada senior team now...but come WCQ they will have to take a back seat cause the 1st team already worked out....I doh know boy...ah jus doh know.
Me no coach, but I just think that whether I agree with the strategy or not, it would sit down better with me if I know what the policy for selection is beforehand.
-
Pardners just as it have nuff opinion on d MB it properly have as much selection policy. Is d TTFF we dealin with and with d blacklist case next week they groomin 4 2014 because if d TTFF have 2 pay Stern etal u know is real yute men we go b seein.

Now dat is what I feel going on behind de scenes....ah hoping it eh so...but on THIS point ah feel yuh correct!

I doh b correck is just my imagination as d song say

That could be true, but then that shouldn't be cause for no clandestine operation. Stern et al will be too old later down the road anyway, so if that is the reason nobody go fight them down for adopting that policy.
-
maybe it was answered, but look at the youth thing another way...
as said, we have , Sealy, Jones, Scotland, John, Roberts etc(A)...who not avaialble for the upcoming friendlies...so why take a more experienced older player(B), who when the big game comes around, won't be selected because of of the return of our big guns(A), when you can develop a younger talented player(C), who when the big guns(A) move on, in addition to that other experienced player(B), that younger new player(C) would already have the experience of playing at at International level, even if he wasn't utilized in the biggest of games.
It's ah logical solution
Maturana => A=B+C=WC2010 => 4 yrs=>WC2014 =(.5A +4)+(.5A +4) - (B+4) + (C+6)
the variable is Maturana
notes: B or C can stand in for A at present. In 4 years C can replace anybody.
edit: made an error, formula updated
;)

IMO d policy is dat we have no policy

what is the problem the calling up of britto .. well he call up connell jerrol forbes stephan david and a next petrotrin player etc ... more players would be comming into the mix soon

How you know what going on in Maturana head? How you know he jus running yute "fuh de sake ah run"? I like how allyuh inside Maturana head to know that he neglecting certain spots and unnecessarily focusing on others...like allyuh better equipped tuh assess de talent or what? Lol
-
ahmmm before yuh jump into me like triniman rushing inrto ah gay convention, read all de posts.
wasn't it touches who commented that it was becasue of caps?
ok?
laters hunnie, like yuh missing Omar
-
Me ent know bout allyuh... but I think we now getting to the global standard of how things should be done...
Allyuh ent realise we was the oldest side in the World Cup?
Watch the ages at which players does usually breakout worldwide.. we is the only side man does be debuting all 27, 28 normal normal... and big 30 32 year olds now trying to get serious and make ah side...
As far as I concern between Britto, Adams, Leston Paul and them and the older heads in they mid twenties... ALL of dem is real bake and eh ready when it come to THE INTERNATIONAL GAME... but them old dog cyah learn new tricks... thais wha Bertille complain about... men get vex... thais wha Beenie complain about... man say well alright.. we going World Cup.... thais wha Wim complain about... but he ent even try... so men get vex again...
Maturana ent say it.. or maybe he say it in spanish and anton eh know wha de fawk he say... but he actions so far showing it... he rather go with youth...
because them youths more liable to listen and play to instructions... they will follow the coach and take a buff... they will retain more in practice.. they have more zess and it time they will get more strength...
I think them youths blended in with some experienced men and with good coaching and tactics will perform better than any "regular" local men who already of age... them at the age where i think they want it more.. they fresh.. the world at they feet.. Let the youths them play!
-
I just wondering how come with the set of youths who so good enough to make the senior team, we doh have a killer U20 and U23 team.
-
I just wondering how come with the set of youths who so good enough to make the senior team, we doh have a killer U20 and U23 team.
Here why... because is de same men coaching dem youth teams that have big hardback 27 28 year old cyah trap under pressure, cyah head and pass accurate, cyah maintain tactical awareness and cyah concentrate for 90 mins.. thais why we players does go abroad and develop faster...
No offence to the local coaches... they don't have the tools so they stagnate and when they stagnate.. the players stagnate too...
and is not as if maturana sending a whole u-17 side to play grenada... is the choice men in that age group as he see it mixed in with older heads
-
Have a U-23 team and let the younger players play there. System is important for the continuation of a successful club. Where are our U-14, U-15, U-16,U-17, U-20, U-21 and U-23s?

I just wondering how come with the set of youths who so good enough to make the senior team, we doh have a killer U20 and U23 team.
Because one or two youths are talented doesn't mean the entire U-2-, U-23 squad is talented. Even if we have a squad of supremely talented individuals (which isn't the case), that itself doesn't guarantee that they'll play well together as a team.
In short, don't use the the success/lack of success of the team as a gauge of the talents and abilities of the individuals on the team.
-
Look how much youth men run with the US nat'l team. When they big guns not avaialable they does still play games. Now it have young fellas like Altidore who I am sure would make the final team for qualifiers. I was wondering why maturana calling so much young players but after watching the last training video in another thread I understand why. Is basics the man teaching them. The man was running finishing drills and I was suprised to see how much men throw away in the goal mouth. Is young fellas though it have hope for them. If was older players then I woulda be worried.
As another poster say them young fellas hungry and they will pick up quicker. After he sort them out then they could go and sweat with the youth sides and in 2010 the 16 yr olds etc would be 18 plus. Some of them older heads better watch they self cause doh be surprised if they sweat now becaue they ready now but in two years they get bench.
Again it seems that who ever preparing the younger players doh have them where they should be. Maybe Maturana should hold some session with the PFL youth coaches and SSFL coaches.

That is the damn thing self right there.
Is a long time now I see we have a whole generation of players like Spann, Theobald, Jemmot etc. whose exposure to quality opposition and the fundamentals of the game was neglected by those authorities who hold such powers to do so in T&T.
These players are no less talented than much of the top tier of CONCACAF, but the sh*t that used to (and still does) pass for "development" in this country has left them lesser footballers than they could have been, relative to the $$$ and opportunity we have in T&T. Is like a 27 year old man with no common entrance trying to go back in secondary school to write 'A levels. That is a herculean task for all but the very most determined.
Even though we as fans have heavy hearts seeing men who sacrifice and wuk like dogs for the RBW, that generation, fringe players first and then some of the stalwarts second, will be squeezed of the national scene to make way for the younger crowd. What happen to Rougier might happen en-mass this time around.
Its simple succcession. All teams go through this. But it just hard to see good solidiers fall. That is why I does get vex when men on here does talk bout how fellas like Cornell Glenn "selfish" and need to put national team interest before his club interests.

This post full ah jokes. All yuh have me laughing so hard. Maturana never gave a press conference stating what his policy is for calling up the youths, but everybody have their theory and speculating. All yuh in the man head and reading his past, present, and future plans. But is a fan forum and I expect man to cuss him out after we lose we first game just like they wanted to fire Beenie after he loss to Paraguay at the WC, until he fire we. Ah must say is fun reading all the stuff men posting. Good humor! Go Warriors!

De Anton Pierre selection confuse me. I was looking for Angus eve to get a call up :rotfl: :rotfl:...seriously though, Ah want to believe though that Pacho going and watch games and pulling fellahs dat impress him?!?! ah could be wrong, but dais what i woulda do(granted me eh no national coach).
my feeling is, let de man test fellahs and see how dey hold up NOW so dat when qualifiers start he go have ah few he could add to the foreign base core of de team, and any time de man could get talented defenders who could make a friggin 5 yard pass to dey teammate foot, i happy! so i say bleed(blood)dem as much as yuh have to coach!

Pardners just as it have nuff opinion on d MB it properly have as much selection policy. Is d TTFF we dealin with and with d blacklist case next week they groomin 4 2014 because if d TTFF have 2 pay Stern etal u know is real yute men we go b seein.
Now dat is what I feel going on behind de scenes....ah hoping it eh so...but on THIS point ah feel yuh correct!
i think maturana is probably including britto in the team for practise and training, its better he train with the older and more experienced players in order for his development to move smoothly, remember this is the same player who was playing 3-4 years above his age group in terms of skill, so i doubt he is so far behind the others in training, but i understand your persepctive.
God is de BOSS...

I believe they using this to look at players for the u20 and u23 all at once so by put them with the senior guys they gaining confidence and experience this guy is ahh boss we have to stop the old ways and develop new one remember how old Yorke and Latas was when they made to the senior team.
