I have a couple minutes before I go, but in a nut shell.
I dont mind we lose eh, but is how we does lose. We knew about this gold cup since 6 months ago and the TTFF knew they wasn't going with the overseas players why didn't they prepare this team better than we go out there and look like a confuse, tired and not organise bunch. Imagine Guadeloupe on top of their table with teams such as Haiti, Canada and Costa Rica. And Wim taking about T&T have 1 million and USA have 214 million, how much Guadeloupe have compare to Haiti and Canada.
Only poor excuses all the time. Injury will happen, USA use two different teams in two games and winning. We carry 22 players if one man get injured it dosen't mean we have to lose or play badly for that... it had many none blacklisted players that could have been picked too. But when you only searching in small areas you will not find, we have many good players right in the USA.. open your mind coach. Get rid of your scout he making you look bad. Set up a US camp before you head back to T&T as you are here already.... like them (US Based) play the gold cup team.... utilise your resources better.
If we have to lose we have to at least play with some heart, desire and most of all as a team. Not a bunch of players standing around when they dont have de ball.
Jan - had a better game and made some great stops.
Kerry - waste. He shit down he self today.
Christon - fight it.
Noreiga - he had a good thing going until he got injured. My prays with him.
Pacheco - wasn't as good as the first game but did ok.
Theobald - need a case of red bull. Looked very tired.
Toussaint - best man today on the T&T side, should be converted to a central midfield. Remember yuh hear it here first.
Spann - did good in and out and yea, a boss with them kicks. Wow, this man is de next best dead ball specialist coming up... de man make that ball turn in mid air... LARD FARDA !!!!!!!!
Power - the worst player on the field and if thats the best right back (or left back now) we have in T&T right now, then we in real trouble. I am sure locals and US based defenders like Corey Rivers, Ian Gray (a cool head one), Dwayne Jack, Carlon Murray, Ronald Primus, Makan Hislop, Yohance Marshall, Corneal Thomas, Dexter Franklyn, Kevin Adams, Lorne Joseph, Fabien Lewis, Clyde Leon or Brenton DeLeon could do much better. We breathing a shit hound in Power and wasting caps on him. Forget what Wim said, our pro league cant be that bad, we manage to beat Mexicans and MLS teams on a few occasions in concacaf cup, so the talent is there we just need a coach to bring that out like what Beenhaker did with our WC team as many felt the same way about them but Beenhakker changed that.
Power is a workhorse like Devon Drayton (who atleast have more technical ability), Power does fight hard, but to much fighting does cloud your vision. He making to many mistakes, keep getting catch out of position, keep getting catch flat footed and giving away de ball when he get it or sending it up high to the US players and putting T&T back under pressure.
If T&T needs a runner they should pick Darren Brown. But not be able to make the simplest task in football will not cut it. Fundamentals is the first thing you learn in football. Trap, shoot, pass, one touch, juggle, etc etc...
Roberts- fight it real hard, better game. No service to him or else he might have scored.
Aguillera - de man solid eh, but he needs to be consistent. I dont know if Aguillera and Theobald forming a good parthership together. I still like him and feel he could develop into a great player.
Keyeno - fight hard, lack speed but did good. Ah only taking him for Glen.
Nickcolson - Wim sub him early and I was very happy but his replacment (Kerry) was poor. But Wim try and thats important, so now we know. Maybe this Nickcolson fella was nervous but its not hard to tell that a player is lacking in his overall play.
We midfield suffering bad for a creative player, time to put Toussaint in central midfield or give Keon Daniel a game and call up Jabloteh's Wendell Joseph for training when we go back home.
Wim when you get home try not to ask anyone locally to hep you select your players because many good players or who could be good players being overlooked.
If we win our next game and USA beat El Salvador then we stand a good chance to make it to the play-offs. Good luck T&T and Wim...
vs GUA
Williams
Keyeno, Noreiga, Wolfe
Spann, Theobald, Toussaint, Noel, Pacheco
McFarlane, Roberts
subs
Glasgow for McFarlane 65th
Daniel or Aguillera for Noel 70th, depends on de situation.
Jagdeosingh for Roberts 80th
Its important for caribbean teams to do good so teams like Canada, USA and Mexico will not get automatic births to the gold cup and qualify like the rest of us. T&T should also host the next gold cup so this will make sure none champions go through qualification.
PS: Glad to see 3 Princess Town Senior Comprehensive players on the current team. Pacheco, Noreiga and Phillip. Keep allyuh head up fellas, Rene Simoes was impress with these men and they never feel off, they fight hard and now I hope they reap many rewards. Its hard to grow up in T&T and stay focus.
Note.
I watch de game again this morning. Sean Power is a work horse and if he can become technically better he will make a good defender. He make's to much mistakes though and mistakes cost a team. As a defender you cannot make so many mistakes.
What sense winning the ball or breaking up plays and you giving the ball right back to the opposition.
I stand by what I said on Power. He either step up or step out, but as a professional and an international player you should be playing better football, running up de field and down de field with no idea what the hell you are there for is a waste to me and that causes teams to lose. He got caught to many times and his recovery time is POOR !!!!!!!!
