It's very interesting to me when you can get a report like this from a team/club/reporters from the MLS,people who are seeing/playing against this team for the first time,a team based on reports on this site would have thought this team was a shyt team,i'm yet to see a report anything close to this from a reporter in T&T,i know this may be is a surprise to most but based on the history of this team it should not be because the Pro league has grown and is not only Jabloteh it have,they are not doing as well as they should but they are a force,they have proved themselves by their results in the league,the criticisms leveled against them is only because they are associated with JW but what they are doing is no different to what all other teams do,so i want to say well done JP keep up the good works.
Coops, I watch the game and for the first 75 minutes Joe Public basically dominated the game. What Joe Public did is exactly what our national team has to do in order to compete with the us....attack.
Dwarika and Richardson were a thorn in the side of the revs. They really had no answer for either of them. The one thing that US coaches fear in T&T players is our skill and that is exactly what we do not use against them. I cannot for the life of me figure out why we do not attack, dribble and be creative against the US. To me that is our only chance to win. BEAT THEM....
Kudos to Joe Public as I thought the game was entertaining.
I understand and agree with your thoughts here but from my experience i will say that through out our history our strengths has always been our individual skills/flair,our downfall has always been our ability to play as a team,i think the modern game takes away the individualism and places more emphasis on playing as a team,through that players have lost their confidence to dribble and be creative,today if you are successful with it you are a hero and vilified if you are not,it's the easiest way to not make a team (just dribble too much) although i think every team needs a good dribbler on it.You will find our teams on any given day will play excellent and the next poorly because our success most times depends on who we play,our game in recent years has been very defensive and there are lots of reasons for that,we more tend to try and keep possession/play it safe than take risk,Latapy is a perfect example he was too risky for Benie,any how i gone.
Coops, I tend to agree with yuh to some extent but I beg to differ. Yes football move away from individualism but what makes Christiano Ronaldo the best in the world? Of course it is his creativity and ability to finish. Think about this for a minute.. As a defender you have to mark Ronaldo, is whole night before the game you cyar sleep.
I bet yuh, the coach in New England thinging right now how to stop Dwarika and Richardson. Coops, remember, players could play but few have that kind of technical ability and the confidence to do it in a game. The great players know how to play with flair within the confines of the game plan. As a coach, yuh does practice when to dribble and when to pass, right? Same thing but on a bigger, grander stage.
JP, take it to them, that is your only chance for success!! Like my father always used to tell me "offense is your best defense".
