Dear forumites,
That was painful to watch. I feel so sorry for Anguilla dey only came out of their half twice for the entire game, courtesy of a goal kick from the keeper.
Anguilla did not have a clue as to how to play this game. I cannot remember seeing a player pass a ball to a teammate, a player trap or even try to raise they head. Once in a while their players got the ball and a youth would try to dribble but pull back ent cutting it at this level.
TT played a second string team. They changed the goal keeper, De Freitas was out and all the subs started.
TT played a muched improved game in that no more boom kick, passes were crisp and players were finding space, plenty off the ball runs, one-two and tru balls from the number 7 the white boy De Silva who incidentally got man of the match. He scored one goal and missed a penalty.
It was real frustrating at times because TT camp out in ANguilla half, the stadium announcer didnt know if goal score or not, the score on the scoreboard was incorrect at times. Ball hitting side netting or getting call offside and the announcer bawling Goal and they flashing goal and the setta cartoons on the scoreboard.
But consider this, they score nineteen..9 in one half and 10 in the other half and throw away about 4 for every goal scored. It was getting yuh vex at times.
One player score 5, another 4, one player had a hattrick and the other nine goals were split up everybody getting one here and there.
We still trying to walk into the goal, granted it was working, all the shots were off target. I think we hit the post with a bullet Once for the night.
At the half ANguilla sub they keeper and put on the next one to collect the same nine in he tail.
Any school under 14 team coulda beat this Anguilla side.
There were a few crosses and headers, one volley, and some nice tru balls but we still have to work on the finishing, woefully off.
Anguilla hold out in the last 15 min doe......they only collect 1 goal in that time, when they reach 18 and the cowd start to bawl 20!, 20! like they buck up. They put 8 men in the six penalty area and try to hold on.
next game up in the east in CEO on tuesday at 4.
