Fenwick: Warriors must lift intensity.
By: Terry Fenwick (tnttimes.com)


Mexico are in a rich vein of form having now qualified for the 2010 World Cup and after beating El Salvador 4-1 at the Azteca Stadium on Sunday. They have reverted to their typical style of play, short intricate passing with movement at a slow methodical pace that suits their beautiful game. Who knows how serious Mexico will take today’s game now that they have already qualified? What players Mexico select and how they play will be out of T&T’s control, all we can do is assert our brand of football and, after our poor performance in Costa Rica, we had better lift our intensity or they could well beat us with their youth team!

We cannot allow Mexico to play. We have to be resolute and defend as a team while keeping the distances between the players short to ensure players can perform at a pace that is uncomfortable to Mexico for long enough periods of the 90 minutes. Mexico like to play from the back so we must go in there and snuff them out and prevent them from playing.

High pressure games generate mistakes, so we must force the issue and break quickly, straight for the jugular. It might not be pretty but it is exciting when your team play with passion.

(http://tnttimes.com/news/images/stories/diaz0115edit.jpg)

I think our service from set plays has been abysmal for much of the campaign. We should put Trent Noel on every free kick and corner to ensure we deliver to the right areas and attack the ball with menace.

Under (coach) Leo Beenhaker, we defended deep in numbers but, whenever we won a free kick, everyone went up and we threw the kitchen sink at them because Chris Birchall could also deliver a pin point cross. We have definitely lost a lot of our spirit since 2006.

On Saturday, Marvin Phillip gave a tremendous performance but not even three world class saves in the opening 45 minutes or a second half penalty save was enough to stop the inevitable.

Marvin has consistently performed well for W. Connection and has not let the national team down whenever he played. Considering the poor performances from Clayton Ince throughout the World Cup campaign, Marvin may feel let down by the selection committee. His performance against Costa Rica was certainly worthy of a prolonged stint.

Having said that, Marvin has been criticised in the past for his inability to judge the flight of crosses and I think he could have done better on their goal off the corner kick. For me, this is a result of the tactics applied by W Connection who defend very deep and require their goalkeeper for shot stopping only.

Without Marvin, we might have lost 8-0. Our back four was clueless and disorganised.  After playing for the only team in Egypt using a back three formation at the Under-20 World Cup and then being thrown into such a badly organised national senior team, I wonder what Jake Thomson is thinking of the Trinidad and Tobago coaches.

Jake was clearly overwhelmed in this game but there was not enough support from Radanfah Abu Bakr or Carlos Edwards and, in my opinion, he showed great character to hang in there and do his best. Tenacious in the tackle and with a great attitude, Jake was the only other plus for me on the night and, with a solid structure, shape and much needed coaching, this kid will be a firm fixture in the T&T senior team for many years to come.

So big thanks to Stern John for recognising a great opportunity for Jake Thompson and for T&T. Good footballers recognise good footballers and Stern has found T&T’s right full back for years to come.

Jake and Marvin apart, T&T looked clueless. I couldn’t see our plan in defence nor could I recognize how we intended to keep the ball and carve out attacks. The team essentially played as individuals and more than half the team was not good enough for this level, which is sad when there are better players out there to select from.

(http://tnttimes.com/news/images/stories/warriors%20train.jpg)

Bakr and Julius James lacked pace and intelligence in central defence and kept repeatedly falling for the same tricks while Carlos Edwards did not produce one final pass, cross or shot of note—shocking from such a high profile player—and Kerry Baptiste was a non entity.

Kenwyne Jones was isolated again and must be frustrated by the poor service he receives. He also looked as though he did not clearly know his role in the team. Jones is a very good player but he needs support on and off the field from his team mates and coaching staff.

We need concentration, desire and encouragement from the bench today to end our World Cup campaign on a good note. Let us at least make Mexico work for it!

So Latas, did you read this man's commentary about some of the players you picked to play in a game of the magnitude against Costa Rica the other night?. Forget that he had a confrontation with "d Technician", Mr. Phillips, forget that Michael "Macomere" McComie didn't like him and even some of you on this Forum despise this man, forget that his team lost against Maradona and Argentina. This man is a winner here in Trinidad and Tobago and that you cannot deny. I am not a coach of Latas' pedigree or a football player of Latas' skill and experience, but even I know that the people you pick for your football team to play any and every position on a football field must have a particular level of intelligence and technical ability to be able to read a game and perform with a level of professionalism and skill, effectively. Physical and technical preparation alone is not sufficient, the players as well as the coaching staff have to be prepared mentally and educationally, that means studying the players on the other team and preparing everyone for a game plan before everyone goes into battle on the playing field.

Your defensive players must be football intelligent and be able to read a football game to the very end barring fatigue and injury. They should be fleet of foot and well rested so that they don't fall asleep during the game. See Abu Bakr vs Costa Rica.

You must, and I cannot stress enough, have midfielders that have the intelligence to read a game from beginning to end, they must have skills, talent, and the uncanny vision and ability to create plays and situations that no one else sees before it develops that not even the fans watching the game sees. When somebody picks players from Trinidad and Tobago to join the men's senior national team with that skill level to join the battle, then and only then, will TnT have happy strikers that don't have to run the whole length of the pitch just to stay in the game. A happy striker is a striker that scores. Then and only then will the great fans of the Soca Warriors see a team that is professionally, technically, tactically, strategically, fit and ready to take on this region and possibly the rest of the world.

Last but not least, the coaching staff must have a game plan stacked with strategies and tactics for every situation that presents itself out on the battlefield. Corners, set plays, penalties, a goal or two down, 10 vs 11 situations. See Julius James vs Costa Rica. Everyone has to be on the same sheet of music, that includes the TTFF as well minus Jack Warner. The TTFF don't need someone to advise them on what they should already know to do. If they don't know what to do then step aside and let someone else who knows what to do, do it. No Corporation, Organization, Company, or band will continue to pay an individual millions of dollars who is incapable of doing his or her job.  

Tonight's game versus Mexico, the question for me is how much is TnT going to lose by. If it's true that your midfield is the brains of your team then TnT is definitely brain dead unless Latapy puts a midfield in place for tonight's game that has the skills and vision to match Mexico, until then who knows how much TnT is going to lose by. Watch and see.

So you prefer a white man from Europe to a white European living in TnT, padnah, yuh need help, and BTW, phu*ue Beenhakker, he keep Latas on de bench with 20 mins to go when we were down 1-0 to Hengland in de WC, I guess his thought was no way we could beat or tie the mighty White Man country of England, why would you want that joker as coach again?  He couldn't survive two years as coach in Poland.

Beenhakker better than any coach who ever braced our shores! and even if he made ah mistake by not playing latapy, fact remains that he's one of the best things that ever happened to TNT football, and that will go down in history, AND YUH CAN'T CHANGE THAT!!!

terry's been there, epl, fa cup, local league master, world cup he's pretty much seen it all as with latas and dwight and dog passing on thier knowledge in training (NOT on the field)

thank god by the next rounds we can pull the bright sparks from the U20 and the rest of the foregin trinis, local league players proving themselves consistently and other players in Uni's around the world (although its better if trinis were in academys of clubs around the world)

England didn't score on us till the 83rd minute of that game. I not sure what kinda maths u workin with there.

And whether or not you agree with his use (or lack thereof) of Latapy in the WC, he is the ONLY coach who has ever taken us there. And he's the joker?

Yeah boy.  Look how dey make CONCACAF Champions League with a first time coach who never coach a lime when Trini Terry couldn't qualify dem.

And yuh right about not standin fuh crap.  If only other coaches around de world would follow his example and lick dung an opposin player when dey about to take a throwin, de game will be so much better off.

Terry is top class...he transformed a wild out of sorts Jabloteh into a structured organised and disciplined team...they had heart and they got results

If you read his article everything he said actually happened in the game

Ex 1) He said we had to work very hard off the ball and raise our intensity to beat the Mexicans and disrupt their possesion

We allowed them time on the ball resulting in the 2 goals conceded

Ex 2) He said Marvin sticks on his line and is hesitant to come out for cross balls

Marvin was equally at fault for the 2nd goal as he stood on his line when he should have clattered those Mexicans

Ex 3) Set Piece Service

Carlos delivers 1 in 10 good set plays... when they have guys like Noel who is a free kick specialist and can deliver a corner and a free kick into the mix much better than Los'

Things I didnt agree with... He said Ince had a poor campaign..Ince had 1 bad game and saved our asses in many games

Also he thinks Thomson is a RB...yes he could be developed into one but he looks more of a winger..he lacks agression and the mind set of a RB.

Everyone forgets that in the U20 WC we played a 3-5-2 which allows 1 of the 3 cbs..(the rcb) to cover in a RB position for about half the game...so in a traditional 4-4-2 Jake will get no cover and allow the defense to be breached

I say put Carlos as our RB and let Tinto/Thomson and Hector fight it out for both wing positions

Terry call the game before it play... Latas should have read this... maybe we would have been in the Cup if Terry was on the technical staff with top analysis such as this

And i'm pretty sure he's faster than Julias...but he needs to get out of the country and develop over 2 years into a top CB.. right now he only has raw talent.. he's big and physical and reads the game well.. but he is young so he will make mistakes and he tends to clear the ball immediately but last night he hit about 1 or 2 long balls cuz Latas is a play the ball from the back.. he looked a better defender last night than he did in the U20's..more complete

All of us, and I myself are guilty of wanting the most promising players to get out and get "better development". But there is a caveat there. Which team. One that is in the bottom of the Premier or sitting on the bench in the championship. We want defenders who are confortable with bringing out the ball and know when to use the long ball when necessary. I say send him to Mexico. Pachuca, Pumas, Toluca, Cruz Azul, America.

And i'm pretty sure he's faster than Julias...but he needs to get out of the country and develop over 2 years into a top CB.. right now he only has raw talent.. he's big and physical and reads the game well.. but he is young so he will make mistakes and he tends to clear the ball immediately but last night he hit about 1 or 2 long balls cuz Latas is a play the ball from the back.. he looked a better defender last night than he did in the U20's..more complete


If he's faster than julius , then he real real fast! BC julius is known in the MLS for his pace. wow ! what do you know, we have two speedy central defenders, nice. 8)        thanx small mag.                         positive.

the thing that alot of ppl dont kno about robert is that he was a striker, i had the privlage of playin ball with him from a tender age and he was always quick and a very very good finisher alot of skill on the ball has a rocket of a shot as well. i hope he does get out of t&t soon. i hav a lot of respect for him.

Well said Small Mag! Terry would be a good candidate for T&T RIGHT NOW, I said as much on a sports programme several months ago, that he and/or Latas would be better off waitng until AFTER SA2010 qualifiers as Maturana left us in a very poor standing when he quit...he's also a coach that seems to be able to get YOUNG players to step up and that's EXACTLY what our Senior team needs NOW... a good short-term barometer would be to see Terry coach us in the Digicel Cup and a few Internaional friendlies, so we could see what hs "brand" would be.... imagine Terry as Coach and Birchall captaining the side.... talk about "WARRIORS"!!!

Patriot, I cyah believe is you talking dat rubbish. Not you, please.

Everything he said was spot on...

Rubbish? man get out of here

I second that Patriot...Birchy captain for 2014

Birchy can be captain after Carlos retires! Carlos is the best man for that job right now! Birchall can also fill in as captain if Carlos is unable to do a full 90mins for any reason provided he’s on the squad in the first place.

As for Terry Fenwich as T&T head senior coach, good idea but maybe it’s too late for that now!
Would Latas and Dwight be happy working with under Terry as his assistants/understudies after being already appointed as head coach and assistant?

Also would Jack Austin Warner aka JAWs or Jackula want someone as outspoken and not willing to put up with the BS as Terry Fenwich be headcoach and be willing to pay him for the displease?
I know Jack may not have to pay him as the Ministry of Sport could pay the head coach's salary but we all know that Jack will still be the one who decides which person gets the head coach job and how much he will get paid even though that should be the TD's job.
Btw who is our current Football TD and what is his role?  ::)

Why is everybody so concern about making Birchy we captain sometime in the future? what u guys see there? is he one of the leaders he speak out alot to motivate the team on the field? iono enlighten me? because everybody keep saying that and am just confuse on what the rush to make him captain is... Carlos for captain in 2014 and i say its most likely KJ captain after that but time will tell...

picking a captain is the least of our worries. If we have a good team it really does not matter who is captain. I think JLLoyd could be a good captain. Me Moms can make a good captain also. But like I said fix the real problems first, we can always find a captain.

My problem with Carlos as Captain ,is that he will insist on taking Freekicks and Corners ,even if there might be a local who is a specialist at it ,hell he would even let spann get a shot .
