Trying to be as realistic here as possible. However, if Hart can get his guys to play like they did at the Gold Cup we could really do some damage.
But given the inconsistency of players like Kenwyne, Hyland, Molino, Abu Bakr, David and Cyrus it will be hard unless we play more games or Hart finds some back up players and really start to bench some of his favorites.
I know its not easy, but maybe more games will help these players build confidence and consistency.
Mitchell and especially Mekeil gives away the ball in bad places and constantly get lost on the field allowing their man to run away from them very easily.
Cyrus gets forward a lot but forgets to run back or is slow at it and his man gets away from him and our defence are left stranded.
David can be a good player, but very stagnant at times.
Joevin, Bateau and Boucaud carries T&T.
Kenwyne presence is needed even if he doesn't do much. Would really be nice to get Bradley Wright-Phillips.
George can be the x-factor for T&T's defence, maybe Hart could convert him to a central defender?
Players like Bostock, Cummings, Levi and Cato could really stir things up for T&T.
I like players like Sean De Silva, Darren Mitchell and Ricardo John.
Weslie John, Shannon Williams and Ryan Inniss could help our defence, maybe?
Maybe Hart could offer Shaquell Moore a chance to play for T&T, he is a good wing back.
Guatemala and USA really showed us up especially down the center, once you beat T&T's wing backs, players run into the center and shoot untop of the box or slip the ball behind T&T defence and you are almost guaranteed to score.
Costa Rica, USA and Mexico, nuff said.
Honduras can run and T&T cannot play against runners, especially teams that keeps the ball on the ground. Honduras did very well at the Olympics, so I expect them to draft in a few of those young players.
Panama is the only team T&T might get by because T&T is similar, so the results could go either way.
Again, if T&T can find back that magic from the Gold Cup, they could surprise a few teams like Mexico, USA and Costa Rica at home, but you know we struggle at home and with Hart careful approach like against USA last November (0-0) we could be in trouble.
T&T is a good team and we have good individual players, but we lack a proper formation and confidence. The players tend to day dream a lot on the field too.
My predictions.
H - T&T 1-1 Costa Rica Game (11-Nov-2016) = 1
A - T&T 1-2 Honduras Game (15-Nov-2016) = 0
H - T&T 1-0 Panama Game (24-Mar-2017) = 3
H - T&T 1-2 Mexico Game (28-Mar-2017) = 0
A - T&T 0-2 USA Game (7/8-Jun-2017) = 0
A - T&T 0-3 Costa Rica Game (11/12-Jun-2017) = 0
H - T&T 2-0 Honduras Game (1-Sept-2017) = 3
A - T&T 2-1 Panama Game (5-Sept-2017) = 3
A - T&T 0-3 Mexico Game (6-Oct-2017) = 0
H - T&T 1-1 USA Game (10-Oct-2017) = 1
Total = 11pts
