i think our problem today was speed, we played the game too slow, we dribbled when we should have passed, the simple pass was ignored trying to be extra creative, taking extra touches on the ball. Carlos had an ok game but he was victim to the same problem, he knows he can take on the bahraini wing back but sometimes you have to mix up running at the defense with an early cross or two to keep the defensive back line guessing. every time he picked up the ball 2 and 3 men started to cover him and reduce his effectiveness, carlos is a great talent and works very hard to get into attacking positions but its unfortunate to see all that hard work then a final ball that never sees a red shirt, the two real menacing crosses came from birchall and spann but carlos is our primary wing outlet though. we really missing a left footed midfielder at least to give some kinda balance it was most evident today with latas having an off day. As Beenie said, take heart from the fact that we got a result today while not playing our best, i am sure he will make the necessary adjustments and have everyone ready for wednesday. Our backs are against the wall and we will come back strong. Our destiny is in our hands.
Salmeen was good (seems skilful). If he and the No 3 player are out for the next game, great advantage to us. Hubail was not good today...Their captain got the second yellow and he misses the game wednesday.
That was the #10 right?

My Take on the game:
1. The ref did a horrible job. Now I see why people have been complaining about Yorke being hacked down in the Australian League.
2. We need to get back to possessing the ball, and pressing higher up the field. I though we sat back for a while and allowed them to penetrate our defence with the through passes. Avery was especially vulnerable to those. He neither got to the ball or followed the runner. For a while, he reminded me of the Avery that I played against in the colleges league--grit but not much technical ability. He needs to get it right because he was the weak link in the defence tonite.
3. Stern John is isolated up front. If you're going to play a target forward, then the team needs to relize that they have to push up to support the guy. How many times was that ball played across the goal and there was no one in the box to get it it? We seemed too afraid of the counter.
4. Jack needs to sort his defence out better. The marking was poor and he was definiitely not communicating enough with his defenders. Frankly. Shaka commands more respect from the players, and they seem more composed when he is in goal.
5. It's a one game final on Wednesday. We need to just think about winning; we have nothing to lose at this point.
What game you watching....look at the goal that scored against us. Freaking donkey Dennis Lawrence, just looking at Andrews challenge two players. Then in the middle of the field he falling down. Thank God Whittley was on point. That Bahrain team was retarded.....but you know what was even worse, we were more retarded than them. The entire game was a barn burner. We did not look like the team that beat Mexico a few weeks ago. I don't know what happenend but we need to fix it before Wednesday. It was the worse footbal ever. If you all want to argue I can send you all copies of the game. The good part is we got a tie.Great support by the way
Yes sweet strike from Birchall breds!!!"me mum is from Trinidad"!!!!!!!
trini playing good ballde commentators just repeating themselves over and over. Bah haven't really been to impressive; not much skill so far.
a whole half gone and bah only get like two good chances
dont listen to the commentators
Fact is dey only have 23000 seats available, take away 3000 for coporate sponsors, dignitaries and some blocks for men who come down from de us every game.It probably has been mentioned before, but one way of (possibly) weeding out waggonists would be the introduction of season tickets/supporters passes. If you are a season ticket holder, you get first choice on playoff tickets. European/US clubs have similar schemes. Once you resort to gameday/pre-gameday selling, you are subject to supply and demand and all the problems that come with it (bobol, chaos in the line etc.); this can't be helped.
20000 tickets to sell to 100000 people, mus have de majority disappointed.
Even if dey was selling 1 ticket ah man, de tickets woulda still run out in de first 2 hrs of dem going on sale.
In de stadium I reach 4 oclock an it had 500 people an ah sure everybody who was there from that time get tickets, the lines were orderly by trini standards so de pressure dat man describe in south an de velodrome I did not see. People jump ovr the stadium fence an ting but by then it was too late.
Ah had posted that we should get to de stadium early to make sure.
