I must say i have certainly NOT been impressed with this goalkeeper. Is he the future of the Trinidad & Tobago goalkeeping position i am not sold on that!!!!!. The last two games for TNT has certainly not been his best in concentration letting in some really soft goals “going up to catch the ball and it slips through his hands into the net”, “being beaten consistently on his nearpost”, “coming out to challenge when he should not” and last night “saving outside his penalty area and being sent off for W-Connection early in the game”. I dont know if he lacks confidence at the moment but he is making some schoolboy mistakes at this point in time. I think he is better than that to be named Pro League MVP. I think Wim and others probably needs to nuture him some more under the experienced Ince or Jack!!. What do you all think about this?

Personally I don’t like him he gets beaten to easy he never seems to hold on to the ball all parrying to ball some how he continues to get praise as the best thing since slice bread

I for one have always said that talent wise, Marvin Phillip is ahead of Jan. I would not put Durance Williams back in there but as far as local goalies go, I was a huge fan of Kevin Graham at U-20 level. Not sure if he gets a raw deal now due to his being at Defence Force who collecting real goals up to last season, but he will soon have Ross Russel, Hutson Charles and Kerry Jamerson watching and helping him.

Bottom line is that, at least for now, Ince is our best keeper and at the Gold Cup we should be looking at him as our #1 with a local taken along for experience.

My two cents.

Make that under the experienced hands of Hislop or Ince. Jack would only teach him more bad habits.

Personally, I can't comment on Jan since I haven't seen him perform that much. But, he is young and relatively inexperienced. The idea of nuturing under the hands of more experienced goal-keepers is not a bad one.

Totally agree.....Phillips has safer hands......Jan seems too uptight and nervous in goal sometimes......I hope he is given a try soon.....

Once you see a keeper flying all over the place to make saves, it's one of the 1st signs of bad technique.

Yeah agility but not the kind a goalkeeping coach will want in an international game.

It's a big difference between Potato and potahto. It's not that simple.

It is tuff that Jan , who is representing us at a National level is displaying such inexperience. We need the best possible last line of defense(Goal Keeper) we can get during the Gold Cup. But tell me which keeper has never been a victim to an easy goal. None, is the answer.

He has the ability to shine, just need the confidence and work.It is his duty to re-prove himself, no matter if he is the keeper for the Gold Cup or not.

Please bare in mind that the strenght/performance of the defense is directly link to the confidence of the goal keeper

There is no excuse for technique, and don't matter what system you play all goalkeeper techniques are the same, unlike a field player who may have a different version of a step over. There is a specific manner in which to make specific saves when proper technique is being employed no two ways about it.

A goalkeeper must stay on his feet as long as possible. The dive is a last resort.

Jan is good and has a lot of potential and so is Marvin. But a lot of us saying that this one is better or that one is better mainly because Jan is meh boy or marvin is meh boy. How many of us here see what going on in the natonal setup and see what going on in practice? If Phillips is better he will soon get his chance.

and oh yeah, Jack is not help our younger keepers.....my heart always racing when he in goal.

Marvin and Jan are to great keepers but what he did in that game save the game...Beckles is another great keeper...He was apart of the Connection under 17 that went unbeaten entire season...Jan sacrifice himself for the team..that took quick thinking and courage...I certainly commend him

Jan i dont think is any total goat...However i think talent wise marvin is better but i his attitude kept him back and seems is only now realizing that he cant be an ass no longer.
