What of Maturana?

[pardners]

Well, well let's see here. He beat the USA after so many years. BSC didn't do it, Gally fall short, beenie didn't come close, forget Wim, and he beat dem with de same players Beenie and Wim had at their disposal, and he do it after a few games with this squad 

None of those other coaches played against the US 'B' team.

you can't be serious

[Yogi]

Maturana and Corneal still have to go!!!

[weary1969]

Yogi excellent 2nd post

[salsero]

Get off the coach, he got the job done that no other coach could accomplish. First he was trying to build a system concentrating on the local players (JACK's PLAN), this did not work, also T&T Sports Ministry would not grant the use of the national stadium, Jack Warner's intervention on team selection, what a disruptive situation. In Colombia or any country these disruptions for the national team would never occur.People give the man credit, he got the job done from a soccer federation and sports ministry in dissarray

[weary1969]

Salsero where d MOS say dey cyah use d stadium post d link ah waitin.

[salsero]

For the Bermuda game, then to play in the Manny Ramjohn, there are High School Stadiums in poorer countries that are on par with this stadium

[weary1969]

Brudder d MOS neva say dey cyah play dey just say 2 pay 4 it just like d SSFL does pay 4 it 4 d Intercol final who have more money d SSFL or d TTFF

[salsero]

For a country that is probably the richest country(income per capita) in the caribbean and Latin America (Stats From CNN) having it's national team play at that 3rd class venue. Bottom line is Maturana is doing fine in a very bad situation. I did not agree with his selection against the USA in september, but in the organized world, results is what matters.

[MATADOR]

Quite honestly everyones entitled to their own opinion and in no way shall we agree on everything... However I think that Pancho is doing a fine job and I have said this before on this board even after our lost to the US. There is a lot of adversity to work with and around in dealing with the national team and dont think for one minute Beenie as well as L. Phillips weren't close to the chopping blocks or the hatchet man.

Lets concentrate on our players and stop all the negativity towards the coach..it is what it is.. Look at the US with Bradley...the man has a very good track record since taking over the team yet the pundits still call for his head.

[weary1969]

Exactly Matador callin 4 d coach head is ah part ah d game but when u call 4 d afro head is a problen. Not 2 mention he do nuff ting 4 we not 2 call 4 he head but he hold body

[Mad Scorpion a/k/a Big Bo$$]

Now me eh no Maturana fan but de man ha to get some credit.  Sure we looked ridiculous in Illinois but the man have us back in the thick of it and looking better as a team right now.  I not putting a lot of stock in the US win.  It is a milestone for our football because it's historical but it was essentially their young guns who are being bred for the future we beat.  With that said however, a win is in fact a win and we moved 3 points closer to the hex under his guidance as manager.  So while I am not a fan of his I have to give him credit for having us in position to compete for another WC appearance.

[weary1969]

I givin d credit 2 Latas and Yorke u feel dumbtst and chipmunk call back Spann doubt it very much. Me eh agree wit d recall but dem made dat call while he make d call 2 drop Avery

[lil damo]

Congrats to the coaching staff for a job well done.

[Mad Scorpion a/k/a Big Bo$$]

So then yuh sayin Maturana is part of ah Puppet Regime then?  Allyuh does confuse me bad oui.  If man eh get call back or a subpar team (as we see it) plays is Mats do bullshit, but when (what appears to be ) de right men get call back and a good squad play is not he ent?  Allyuh rell fulla shit in troot oui!!

[weary1969]

Is d pope catholic? So d subpar team wit Lawerence on d bench who do dat u eh hear players was not bein played because dey was disruptive etc who eh pick dem Mats eh have a clue. D man watch tapes and only c Whitley

[Small Magician aka Wazza]

If had pick the best team from the start of the campaign the fans would have no problem with him...  but he made things hard for himself...now we know he is just a puppet cuz he not picking the team... he just picking a formation and picking the starting xi(dangerous thing to give him)

He is ok at best and apparently the players dont like his methods saying he reminds them of bertille... he not fresh he not motivating the team and the players decided they hadda do it themselves and run the show...

I dont see why we just cant bring in a lively english speaking coach and provided we reach the hex give it a real go

instead of wasting money on "the dumbist" (copyright weary)

[Mad Scorpion a/k/a Big Bo$$]

Breds is eida yuh give him credit fuh all or none, doh cherry pick to attribute bullsit alone to de man an give de glory to others.  Dat is pure grade A kakaholishness!!

Ah like how these new posters seeing things and allyuh hardback ole posters cyar see what they talking  bout.

 They getting orn like TT ent suppose to try and develop new home spun players for the future and incidently this is the time for that and not the hex.

[Controversial]

[weary1969]

My complaint was that Jack dropped ALL the forren and did not include them for awhile
Jack has a great FIFA business brain...but for him to do that he knows SHIT ALL about chemistry within a team.
He should have kept the nucleus and added/Dropped players as need be. Just like how the USA operated last night.
but NOT a full blown BlackList...Oh Gaum man

[Dinner Mints]

Me eh know what going on in training or in de dressing room, so me cyah judge him on dat. My only beef with Maturana was his selection policy. If you picking a shit squad, no matter how much instruction you give dem, you'll be putting out shit on de field. And that's what was pissing me off. As long we using our best available 22-30 players and we playing alright, me and Pacho cool.

[warmonga]

look like he learning the game better and better after every game played . He will become a great coach one day .
war

[damiangoal]

After Wednesday- , All and sundry will be hailing him as the new King. He will be the new Bennie.

Hill?

ha,ha,ha!!!!!

I thought that whole blacklist thing was complete bullshit mihself too!

[sjahrain]

The cream always rise to the top,Jack figured one that one late...
Tha coach has wining record and the want his head.......
You bring in a new coach now,you will be starting all over again,at this time I fail to see the wiseness in that logic,there are too many varables that we cannot address nor for see at this point,to be making that kind of change

[pardners]

I could only compare Mats with who we had before and given the challenges he faced in the earlies.  I look at how our players...same foreign based players...if yuh want to call them that was playing under Bertille and the difference in play under Beenie, and it was chalk and cheese.  Everyone could have seen a remarkable improvement in the players and their approach to the game.

Mats started off with amatuers and played against lowly opponents and got justifiable results.  MY opinion is that ANY coach given the team he had wouldve produced the same results.  I still think so given the players he now has at his disposal.  I doh think Corneal or Bertille or even Wim could have done worse with the team last night.  I didn't see anything in their play that suggests that we are a world beating team better now that Maturana in charge.  In the past he had lots of questionable player choices with no explanation, lost a game to Bermuda, but drew twice against Jamaica, substitution policies in games kinda inexplicable....  I think he still running on Beenie dregs...Beenie leave a lasting impression on the overseas players and anybody come next just lapping it up.

If you really want to test his mettle, then let's play top competition with out the foreign based and see how we fare. 

[palos]

How it betta we reach d hex yet
