I see the man play live and I could tell you guys that.
First things is strength is not the attacking part of his game.
hIs main strength is Speed.
And his Defensive skills in closing down opponents
His touch is very poor
His pass selection is not that great and
Most of all
He cannot cross with his left foot
He constantly beats back on his right to cross and his crossing is not that accurate.
The main thing he can bring to TnT is Speed in the back.
Aston Villa even went out and got a Left Back from PSV in the offseason so he is no sure lock in the line up.
Using him on left wing will be a waste because he will not be able to take the play byline like carlos and Spann
I would use him central Defense to give us speed that tallman and Dog lacks but not against Bahrain But only of we play against fast teams like USA Honduras Costa Rica
He could also slot in instead of Cyd Grey or Take over from Avery in case of suspension or injury
The middle we have now is working real good
With latas floating out to the left and then poping up in the middle
The freedom is allowing him to lose his marker which is helping us a lot
Against Bahrain there will be no space to use Samuel for the first leg
We defense is a lock so leave it so for the first game
Bring back in Spann for Cyd Grey for offensive reasons
Rest of the Squad stays the same
For the second leg Samuel could start as a sweeper (Once we have a lead)
and let one of Birchald or Latas start on the bench.

KND Predictions
TnT 3 - Bah 0
Bah 1 - TnT 4
TnT is a much better side when we play on the counter attack.
Our defense is a lot stronger when we can sit back and wait for the game to come to us
Our Attack is a lot better if we can move quickly forward into space.
The Key to this whole series is TnT execution from Corner Kicks in the first leg,
Just like the mexico game we will get plenty corners if we do the same shit as against mexico we in trouble.
Latapy is not to kick any corner he does not get enough pace on the ball, let spann kick them
Once we execute the corners good we will get goals, Goals will bring Bahrain out and allow us the space to score more goals.
