Well i will start the thread by saying that Kenwyne Jones has an awful first touch . He needs to work on that for real!!! A team is only as good as the players , so fellas point out the weaknesses in these men game, maybe some of them actually take on the forum and will try to change !
For you older heads we could even get historical, tell us about men in the past who put on the red black and white jersey , but had obvious flaws in their game too!

everything!!!!

The problem is there are a lot of flaws that can't be fixed.
For example, speed. You either have it or you don't. Acceleration, on the other hand, can be taught and improved.
The other problem is that a lot of the guys have quite frankly reached their zenith or started to decline. There is only so much you can do with training. When you get to a certain age and you been playing ball for a certain period of time, there is very little you can do to correct most of the technical weaknesses you display.
Take for example, Carlos Edwards. He is almost 30 and men saying he needs to improve his crossing. The fact of the matter is his crossing is what it is. If after two seasons at Sunderland, playing in the EPL he hasn't been able to improve, it very unlikely to happen, injury or no injury. His crossing was just as bad before.
Where Carlos excels is in delivering little chipped balls into the box, when he has the confidence to dribble a defender to get close enough to chip it in - like for Latas goal against the USA. So he needs to work on taking on his man more. As far as whipping balls in, right now, we should be glad when it just manage to stay on the field, as far as I concern.

Zamora has no weakness

Most too old others too slow. Bad first touch and cant cross to save their lives. Imagine not having the basics at this level.
