I went home and take a looked at the game on video again. Kenwyne Jones made a better difference when he came on than Stern John and should have also gotten a penalty, by the way, I wonder who would have taken that penalty if it was given .... lol... maybe Spann.... he was class indeed, he showed Atiba how a right back suppose to play, he was up and down that wing like a race horse.
Anyone else noticed that Birchall wasn't getting any/much balls from his team-mates ? maybe I missed something or just maybe he wasn't finding the space to collect the balls ?
I think Andrews will make a better defensive midfielder than a central defender ?? his pace is to slow for the last man in defense, Central Americans are relatively fast players.
Ngozi for the record, Whitley did good, looked better center though, not sure about left wing, he made some timely tackles as well.
Yuh leave to early Flex...next time yuh had to book ah week for yuh fans"The fellas from the line know how I feel, Left side ? Wha left side?
Samuel ? That was not the same speedy, attacking guy I read bout, that was a stockier Stern. T-man, I had originally said Avery John played poorly, ah rethink that now, he could not have had any confidence passin to that "oh so predictable" Samuel...waiting by the line...no cut in, no run back, no run forward, no beat, no pass..nb, I am not saying the man not good, ah just saying, Glen, Sealy or Theobald should have started instead,(hindsight is always 20-20).
The boys played good...but many people talk bout how they play with heart? Heart!..Heart!
Heart for me is when all odds against yuh, and it not lookin so; Heart is yuh down with no chance and yuh still doh give up, Heart is yuh write orf as lorse, and yuh still pull ah win... Heart is yuh givin all, get hurt, losing and still trying to find a way to win...Heart is yuh play better than yuh ever play before, when all the chips against yuh..
For eg. Kelvin Jack had heart...for the rest, ah cyar say...allyuh find they better than they ever play before ? The reason we didn't get more is cause of Jack and the USA throw way... Thru we was down to 10, well, for me it showed.... Yorke was the class of we team, but with all that class, he couldn't try one run and find Keller...Hold up, control, and with some difficulty, find someone...all well and good...Unfortunately, Dwight yuh have to do more, yuh have to make deh opposition panic, whenever yuh get the ball, so they will leave/let free our other players...Dwight, yuh cyar let the opposing team ketch dey breath...You are obviously too good for that...Wha happen, people have a problem passin to Birchall(except Yorke) because he white or wha...a kinda we go get dem back something our wha..he cut no ball,he run long no ball, he hold up no ball, ah think the best pass he get is a Dog boom kick clearance..
Beenie only consolation, made very strong changes...buh ah get the impression, he new what the starting team should have been..
Ah still cyar fathom how a team could reach and pas whey USA pass in the first minute of the Game and just defenders must take blame...ah still cyar understand how Dog(with his experience) does manage to be always behind forwards, instead of between dem and the ball, and he las....how with his experience he making back pass to the keeper down the center of the field, instead of slighty of goal..The better batsman (Lawrence) well get runout dey...buh some days it happen so...Whitley, possibly played better than last time I saw him on TV, is it because he raised it, or the people around him was looking worse...not sure..
Meh first live T&T WCQ game, and sadly the best thing was meeting some real supporters like me....cause the other team was waaayyy better.....buh we was praying and hoping down to the final whistle..
ah think from now ah backing ah team with real Heart, socawarriors.net and then socawarriors. Ah know next game allyuh supporting even better than the last."
