Who the f**k is the director, only switching to some shitty angles at crucial times
-
Antigua real trying for a goal, and why we keep giving away the ball steups
-
Like I watching the wrong game or what:)
-
Sloppy on the ball.. the pitch is real real shit too but we not keeping the ball well.. also the intensity is very low.... this Antigua team is nothing special apart from Byers...
pick up the intensity and get the ball moving and we will pick up 3 points
SORT IT OUT
-
Nah I like de strategy of kicking de ball hoping to find a player up front (I especially love it when de defenders do it and bypass the LINKS!!!!), how much coach we need to get that down to science??
On ah serious note, me eh even getting all caught up in dis nah, I just like to see every time Molvin James get de ball:)
Go TnT!!!!!

Presshah.
Boy, Antigua playing like they real hungry belly dread. T&T looked good in spurts but the Antigua defense is extremely aggressive and fighting for everything like their life depends on it. T&T was being conservative in attack with only 1 forward Gay upfront and they were probably right to do so and lucky to come out 0-0 at half with that final flurry that rattled T&T with successive corners and time in our box. I believe that Hudson and Shabazz will turn it on in the last 25 mins with some subs and go 2 up front. T&T has to cut out the occasional aimless passes. We cannot afford it. This is war. Byers is a handful and must be stopped. Antigua will be exposed in the counterattack as they wil get desperate, thinning their defense if they get no goal in the first 20 mins of the second half.
Prayers for T&T. T&T can do it as the defense and aerial power with centerbacks Power and Mitchell is tough and have some do or die fight in them.

Antigua scored.

Wow, I am surprised the Trini defender who got hit so hard did not drop to force the ref to stop the play. He was obviously hurt by stopping the fk.

-
i didn't want to say it,. but from the time i see how hungry antigua was and how lackluster we were playing i figured it was game over. maybe these fellas will bounce back and surprise us.
-
Antig players are so much faster! Speed is making the difference. TT needs to strike back.
-
Good night! . Shabazz was a bad idea
-
This team today look clueless together , no chemistry, men all over the place, no tactical discipline..
very very poor.. sad sad sad

-
Molino with a good chance....smh.... :banginghead:
-
TT is playing better now
-
We have no speed nowhere on de team?
Man getting leave out in all areas.
its not lack of speed. its lack of urgency, will power and effort.
-
When you think about T&T bench, who could really come on and rescue us ?

No hustle, nothing....
T&T playing small goal...
-
Hah! He still wouldn't have scored!
-
Theobald should retired immediately.
-
Weakest T&T team I have ever seen represent us...no cohesion, and midfield getting bypassed a lot of times, our stoppers hitting the ball long. Cant even string three passes together. Sad times for T&T football
-
5 mins and T&T playing like they have 80 mins left.
No hustle, nothing....
T&T playing small goal...
flex i ent seeing where a goal coming from in this whole tournament... de side impotent up front. no ideas, no plan.

I wonder if Pep does do charity work.
-
Theobald should retired immediately.

-
Antigua have there back four in place and we keep trying to feed the Center striker who posting up. How about making some runs to drag them out of position? How about a CMF make a run, how about isolating a winger?
-
Haiti win 2-1

Allyuh feel we able ?
Not looking likely... Antigua players shouldnt even touch them nah. smfh
-
Haiti can beat Antigua and looking at the DR team I saw today I honestly don't see why TT cannot walk away with a victory. However, Knowing that they are within 1 point to make history, DR will come out looking for a victory.
-
Wow! That match was difficult to watch.
Well the results will speak for themselves, one more match to go. I think there is still a mathematical chance of progressing. I not stressing out on this, our administration of football is garbage so i don't expect much better on the field.
Prepare to fail and fail we will. But say what, our football in the past has prevailed in spite of. Who knows what will happen come Tuesday evening.
-
Breds, we not able, plain and simple. it's not the boys to blame, maybe the coaching, but we just eh able to do well in this tourney with our locals, our league is piss poor, and every foreign coach told us that, even latas.
-
Dont worry. We got this covered. Both DR and Ant have their loss. We just got ours today. We beating DR 3-0.. Watch and see.
-
What a thing! The TD should resign for his recommendation to have co-coaches! Total disaster! Hutson Charles was doing relatively Ok by himself! Well let us hope for a miracle in the last game.
-
Bring back Latas!!!

Bring back Latas!!!

You're too kind touss, but the fact iz after watching this match, we eh able and my guess iz haiti and antigua would not do us any favors, we aren't that lucky.
we need to start playing more friendlies this iz also a message to the TTFF, take advantage of every FIFA window to play some friendlies with our best players.
-
No excuses..apart from the first 10 minutes we were horrible
The team lacked a game plan.. funny considering we have 2 head coaches specifically for that reason
Scenarios (if it is GD and not head to head)
we on -2 and 1 point.. Antigua on +1
Scenario 1: Win and hope Haiti beat Antigua...
Scenario 2: Win 3-0 and hope Antigua win 2-0, or Haiti win by any result
Scenario 3: A Win by 4 clear goals and Antigua draw
The target have to be win 4-0.. once we do that we will qualify ... hope our management staff realize this...we need to be on the front foot from the start and get those goals early then play on the counter
Jorsling has to start that last game.. you could see the experience and bit of class.. very similar to how Peter Byers is for Antigua... good hold up striker that can score goals
Richard Roy is poor, so is Plaza and Gay looked out of sorts today being his 1st game back...totally rusty
Peltier was needed on the right today..I dont understand that one at all
-
Shabazz is a flammer. I don't know how Tim Kee could be s o easily fooled! The man do so poorly in the World Cup ! He come last! Bring back Scamps!
-
In ah way im am happy for this lorse, we should not be rewarded with slackness, and until we start doing right by football, our progress will be minimal @ least.
BTW, for all the jorslin and jamal gay lovers, i told yuhs. these guys are jason scotland prototypes, can't run, can't turn defenders can't run @ @ defenders and force errors, can't kick on the run, can't shoot on target, and our only striker who could do that seems like he's injured.
-
What is the standing like in the second group? How is Jamaica doing?
-
our only player is/was molino and they take him off a pack of chupidness out here
I think Molino had a bad game actually, he had numerous chances and wasted them all, including two one v ones with the keeper. Guerra's decision making/execution (even with the long range side footer) was far superior to Molino's.
Shame too, I expected a lot more from him.
Our finishing was poor in general. We controlled the first half but in the final third we didn't execute properly at all.
After Antigua's goal, the lack of experience/know how in this team showed. They panicked and never really got a hold of the game. It also didn't help that Antigua's players seemed to be miles faster than us.
We're not out though. A convincing win v Dom Republic will likely see us through on GD, no matter what happens in the Antigua Haiti game.

A man say Jorsling and class in the same sentence yes. :rotfl:

Peltier must be carrying a knock.

I have purposefully chosen not to get caught up in the hype during the games. I have changed my expectations and found out I felt better when the team exceeded the expectations from the previous round. I approached this round in the same manner.
Following this game One could sense the inconsistency and the growing pains in putting together a team haphazardly. Victory will go to those who can prevail in the long run-----2018 has to be the targeted goal.
Here we=were exceeding expectations with one coach and at a time like this, we make a change to the coaching with the hope that it would add to the chemistry without distracting from what was building between the players and the lone coach?
Delayed gratification!!!!!!!!! five more years to go.
-
I doh drink alcohol, but tonight i might just take ah drink and burn two bighead spliffs. ah just cyar understand this fall @ all, what really going on with we football.
it's not like these guys were the first team for ant and haiti, and we struggled against both them and haitiwith mostly pro league players, and the thing is we have a league, what's going on?
-
I think Molino had a bad game actually, he had numerous chances and wasted them all, including two one v ones with the keeper. Guerra's decision making/execution (even with the long range side footer) was far superior to Molino's.
Even if they missing them, I'd rather stick with the players who at least creating chances than the ones who can't make a note.
-
Well, another gold cup missed out on, thank you TTFF and jack warner legacy lives on. IMO this degicel comepetition should be played in the summer, where everyone could field their best team.
-
Good night folks. im off to get drunk.
-
ok fellas let me say categorically this joint head at this juncture is the most facked decision that was made , i was watching the game and to me it appears this shabazz one is the mouthpiece on the sideline , has hutson charles been reduced to second in command what a facking shame anyways ah gone yes,
-
So he will have to take the fall. Alvin staying in the background and running things for a while now and he is digging a deeper and deeper hole for us to get out of . You all need to analyze what has been going on behind the scene for a while. We need to stop blaming the wrong people. I
The real danger men getting away scotch free!
-
I dont think we understand how important a gold cup is in terms of climbing the ladder
If we get knocked out this group we would be in freefall
Lets pray for a miracle.. I ent giving up till it all over... one last hurrah or its the death of Trinidad and Tobago football as we know it.... we just need something to bring us back to life
Come on Doc
-
shameful.
we good in cricket?
-
For some reason we are not producing good technical players like we used to in the past.
Back in the day there was no pro league, but to get a national call up you had to be a stand out player and quality was easy to identify.
What i observed tonight which is what i usually see in Pro league games is a limited ability to be precise in the attacking third. The decision making is very poor and it seems a struggle to exhibit decent skill in executing passes and finishing.
Bouncy surfaces, and bunkered defenses are nothing new in regional tournaments. We are not able to break down teams anymore. This is where the coaching comes in. Them fellas also looked short of match fitness. A step slower than the opposition.

Go to the page where men asking who is ah better dribbler, jughead or wise and watch the pace ah that game. Men HAVE to be more technical now, than before, for many different reason. Are they? ??? The smaller countries are investing in the game more and more. Back then we use to take thing for granted too, but the other countries weren't as serious. Now they wiping the grin off their faces.
-
joint head coach was ah shit decision based on fren ting anton and timcuunt should get bun out ah dey house for dat shit......steups
-
Why Shabazz?
-
I find Theobald make some good passes especially towards the right wing. In fact most of the attacking play was thru him. I never got the feeling that there was any tactic or coaching on what the players should do in the final third. I think better coach could do well with these guys.
-
I shoulda know something was up when meh Antigian brethren call to invite meh to he annual New Years party..he never call this early...an hear him nah...doh bring nuttin, ah have a special plate ah food for yuh....then ah see the score, an know the menu one time
-
I cah blame TTFF they just don't know better !
who knows the last country that had 2 coaches ?? Fete match organization....unreal!
I Feel sorry for diehard fans who know ball and also knows that TT have talented ballers to dominate our region!
What a shame.. imps running we football.

We've now lost to Bermuda, Guyana and Antigua in the last year.
LOrd!!! We have no reputatION left in the Caribbean.

ok fellas let me say categorically this joint head at this juncture is the most facked decision that was made , i was watching the game and to me it appears this shabazz one is the mouthpiece on the sideline , has hutson charles been reduced to second in command what a facking shame anyways ah gone yes,
I dont know exactly if there is anything wrong with having two coaches...In fact Jamaica currently has Montesso and Theodore Whitmore has its two coaches for the past couple years, yes, one is head coach and the other assitant coach, but it appears to me they bith seem to be heavily involved in the coaching aspects and both are very visible and vocal on match-days. There is even a third guy involved...the Technacal director who is present at all Jamaicas games along with the goalkeeper coach, who is also very visible and vocal from the sidelines during games. Its not always about one individual...especially when that one individual is not all that experienced as in the case of Hutson Charles. "Joint Head Coach" - pretty way of putting it without disrespecting the incumbent coach Charles who is really now the assistant.
Anyway, Antigua has been a much improved team, a full strength Jamaica team went there for a world cup qualifying game earlier this year and came away with nothing, they also narrowly lost 2-1 (or something like that) to the USA. I watch the Dom Rep yesterday and saw a vastly improved team to the one that would normally lose 4-0 to the larger caribbean countries. The bigger teams in the region continues to get better marginally, while the smaller ones are improving at a faster pace...the field is more level now, and the smaller teams are more motivated to beat the bigger teams.
When last we see a 7-0 drubbing of any team in the caribbean or CONCACAF. I recall Jamaica used to go to places like Mexico and lose 6-0...Jmaica would drop 5-0 on teams like St. Kitts. Those days are NO MORE.
-
What is the standing like in the second group? How is Jamaica doing?
Jamaica lost its opening game 1-2 to French Guiana, and is rooted at the foot of the table after one game....looking to rebound tonight against Martinique and striker Frederic Piquone (yes, that Frederic Piquone, the man who played for France a couple years ago and West Ham recently) - Top class striker that. Any of the top teams in CONCACAF would take him in a blink.

You're confusing 2 things. Just because JA has 2 coaches doesn't make the situations either similar or the same. There was a transition with the introduction of Montesso, there was none with Shabazz. Not to mention that Montesso's addition to the coaching staff was spurred by Tappa. I see no evidence of Hutson asking for Shabazz. Moreover, the organizational chart in JA is clear. Less so in our case. I'll leave that there.
p
I want to make a bold statement and say Caribbean football is shit ... but it isn't entirely so. There are some saving graces. However, T&T is doing itself no favors in assisting the cause. I haven't seen the Antigua game yet. If Flex or TM package the vid, I'll view it then. BUT, I note the series of comments talking about how slow we play ... every tournament produces the same observation. I watched v. Haiti and well ... no surprises.
As for the DR comment ... we're still in the English-speaking Caribbean working on de-mystifying the non-English speaking Caribbean ... so our approach in monitoring and preparing to play non-English speaking opposition is not systematic and always treated as an unknown commodity when in actuality its not that difficult to deconstruct the non-English speaking teams "footballistically". I'm beginning to want a gig with the TTFF (or they could hire "theworm2345").
-
I guess gone are the days when we dropping 11 on Antigua
-
We are going to pepper DR, we have no choice now. Tactic gna be right, we are going to just scrape through
-
Doh blame Molina at all. Peltier have ah hamstring problem..team nursing 5 injuries...but not making excuses.
Hector just had an x ray. Mitchell have a toe injury...

As for the DR comment ... we're still in the English-speaking Caribbean working on de-mystifying the non-English speaking Caribbean ... so our approach in monitoring and preparing to play non-English speaking opposition is not systematic and always treated as an unknown commodity when in actuality its not that difficult to deconstruct the non-English speaking teams "footballistically". I'm beginning to want a gig with the TTFF (or they could hire "theworm2345").
point taken. All the coaches in TT has played against the latin teams. There is no excuse for us not knowing their style of play. I remember mentioning on the site that I am a big fan of Mexican football. Why? The play good football. Their teams can handle any EPL and LaLiga team(Barca and RM are the exceptions. But we are stock on Euro football and can't even decipher our zone. This is crazy.

We after watching the game highlights I don't feel as hopeless as before. The Ants didn't out play us. Those 2 goals are 'hard luck dey'. Ants ain't scoring those goals again in the next 50 tries. It's clear to me that certain tactical adjustments didn't get made to neutralize whatever the Ants was doing. I did see the player try to take the game into their own hands and make something happen. Very promising. Long story short when it's not your day you need to take what is given to you. Had we done that Ants would have never even gotten them goals.

Like I said in another post, Ab eh have nothing on TT. Byers was the man for AB. Not brilliant, but he took his chances. I thought #20(rasta) and Guerra looked the best for TT. Is the rasta guy Powers? Well if the TT team played with his intensity we would not lose a game. Our guys are not playing with the burst of energy.I just can't describe it.

Yes Antigua got really lucky. Byers did a good job.
Agreed. The ras played the best. Way better than the game against Haiti.
It seems as if these guys are lacking in energy. They are so slow and cant make any good plays... But I think tomorrow they will surprise us.

Yep that's Powers...I thought he looked good too. Reminded my of Williams a bit. On days like that/grounds like that you just have to take your chances. That's on the players. We worked some nice balls through the middle in the attacking third. A very delicate skill to acquire.
Very hard to do. But they didn't maximize the defensive blind side with runs. That means they dont have any plan for the att third in those situations and thats on the coaches. All in all is a pure hard luck on that madman grounds. ;D

Even when Power was a shitty right back, he used to play with intensity and heart. I always see him giving his all when I watch. Wish that was contagious.
