Sighs,

I think you need to watch our game vs the States again. Speed of play, cohesion, fitness where the things that got us beat on the day, things that Latas are currently working on with the players.

I feel we still suffering from Latapy tabanca from d 90s yes. All the so called re-incarnations of the little magician have all flopped. Read the words from the man himself when he was asked on the type of play he expects when we take the field.

Anchelotti said it the first time he had to bench Ronaldhino in favour of Beckham. "Sometimes as players you rely on your skill and natural ability, in absence of that you need to rely on hard work, being fit and being a professional"

Some of us need to adopt that philosophy cause the natural ability is just not there. I just think that teams like the US are living it and the results show it. Oh, and our results show it as well.

in what way, we nolonger have a reliable natural "play maker", our best option is to build from the back with short (hopefully) managable passes and try to create  shooting opportunities, Latapy still remains the only person with truly incisive passing ability.........who else is there at this point, man tinkin bout style ah play an ent considerin dat for d time being, we have to build a "workman" like team dat use the basics of d game to achieve d given goal. It so hard to imagine TT playin "basic" football an still getting d job done ............what playmaker of note Jamaica had in '98...........it might hurt u eye but d end result is what counts.............. and let mi say dis d brand american was playin did look so ugly when it we had we all on we ass, if I remember correctly,  "pass an move" man "pass an move"

Like lefty, I co-sign this post, alot of people have watched the US beat us and still haven't figured out how they did it and it's been essentially the same way for the last 10+ years when they beat us but few people understand what happens..
and technically..Landon Donavan is their playmaker..

I notice rel ppl not putting Hyland on the starting XI..behind noel/theobald in many cases...I just asking is this because you believe he is more useful as an impact player off the bench?

lol. Nobody start to quarrel yet? Interesting.

No, because finally!! the selections make good sense. The only thing missing is say a true right back like Gray, but Latas has a back up plan with either Spann in de back feeding Carlos or a very mobile and fit Carlos in de back in a 3-5-2 for example possibly feeding Baptiste who stays wide to stretch the defense and pelt in dem crosses, some low, some high. The latter formation I like. 

Starting 11:

                                                           Ince

                                                             
                                                         Lawrence
                                       Keyeno                               Avery




                                Carlos                                                Theobald   
                                                           Birchall

                     Baptiste                                                                      Samuel




                                               Jones                    Scotland
                                         

      Subs:

Glenn for Scotty

Spann for Baptiste with Carlos pushed up instead 

Hyland for Samuel  to add a little extra defensive component based on needs at the time.

Tinto on standby, for dribbling just outside the box to lure fouls, free-kicks and penalties   

Guerra on for a tiring Birch in de 70th minute to cause havoc as a secret weapon (being told over and over in de dug-out by Latas, "Please, no fighting. If de Costa Ricans spit on you and tell yuh about yuh mudda, jess take a deep breath, watch dem bad eye and walk away to avoid de set up".)

Latas on standby in the 70th minute just in case Jones and Scotty not being fed to generate chances

Yorke on for Theobald while reverting to a 4-4-2                   

I rel like this formation tho..I would change hyland or spann for theobald tho..

[Deeks]

All yuh could set them men in whatever formation. If they don't defend and attack as a unit, formation will not make any difference.

i agree with you about the professionalism, fitness, hard work, speed of play, and football intelligence. these are qualities that every team should have or strive to have, so that goes without saying.

fc barcelona has about five playmakers probably six along with all the other qualities mentioned above.

so let me ask this question.

do you think that a hard working team with all the qualities mentioned above, minus the skills and the football intelligence of those six playmakers barcelona has, could beat them(barcelona)?

[g]

To answer your question directly i would say absolutely not.

I may still need you to clarify your argument, barca just like most other top teams in europe can compile a complete squad of technically gifted players by choice. We are dealing with international football where sometimes you may not be as fortunate to have such players at your disposal.

How do you prepare that type of squad to be competitive?

You condition them to do the fundamentals of technique fitness and cohesion right and more often than not they will always put up a respectable showing.

Sometimes in football the quality of your opponent is just better than yours but there is no shame in the result when you give it 100%.

I want that 100%

the only madness i see is playing 2 strikers that play the same way, if you go with 2 strikers they should have contrasting styles, glen and jones would make sense but why sacrifice a 5 man mid against costa rica who have always dominated us in the mid, so only a dotish person like yourselves would suggest to open tt up for lix

King Deese,
                    You now realize we don't have playmakers? I been hammering that since after the last WC. We lack offensive and defensive mid-fielders. Everybody on this site knows that. They fraid to admit though.

[chelsealife]

All ah allyuh watch something. Skillachi is the playmaker in the team.. Rememba when Latas now come back what he say? Just have to give Keon the ball and let him work, he is replacement for Latapy. He not a winger but he hav real thing in the middle. Watch him work dem Saturday. Kenwyne en good he overrated so he nah start... We winning 3-1 with him seein bench whole 90 mins

barca is a club team comprised of technically gifted players from different countries, we all know that. but with those three midfield maestros running things in the middle of the park the way they do, and two of them from Spain, it is easy to see why they are the best club team in europe and probably the world, 100% from the other team is not good enough in this case. when you get beat by the best there is no shame in that either. i am also sure barca could beat some national teams around the world. but that is not my argument.

so let me ask the question again. who are the technically gifted playmakers on the team capable of making the sweet passes you see barca midfielders execute, playmakers capable of controlling the game when under pressure especially in the middle of the park so your team doesn't get run over or spend 90% of the game defending and going nowhere all game long. success comes or will come when your team spends more time in the opposing team's half of the field finishing attacking runs that you spent so many practices working on.  

Costa Rica, Mexico, USA and Honduras is our barca. 100% effort here will not be good enough if we cannot control the game, if we cannot continuosly attack these four teams with technically gifted players, if we find ourselves defending all game long.

somebody help me here............

[just cool]

Ah see every body hating on kenwyne, but ah want allyuh tuh know that KJ is the best footballers we have on our team to date.

the man started his season in november and finished with 12 goal in all competition, while he was still injured and not so fit as last season.

ppl want glenn scotty and even baptiste tuh start over KJ!  but on sataurday god willing it's KJ who will be scoring and assisting, all them other players allyuh bigging up is practice match goal scorers, while KJ is ah big proven goal scorer. god willing ah will see allyuh after the game, KJ will make nuff ah allyuh eat allyuh own sh!t!

point taken. point understood. i agree with the 100% effort thingy win or lose.

however, i want to see men play with vision and skills, make passes that cut the defense and cause confusion and hesitation, make the goalie shake and stutter in his boots causing him to lose when he hesitates, make the spectators jump of their seats and spill their drinks, make the honeys in the crowd cry with joy and sing out "ole, ole, ole, ole", make old men shake their heads in disbelief and say "finally, dem men and dem come to play", make the nation proud of the effort, the performance, the victory, and most of all add 3 POINTS to the table.

we are last if i am not mistaken. no country for feeble men.

u see all dat dere, at dis point dat is ah "nice to have" dat will have to wait, for now we need ah TEAM first and foremostly, ah team dat at d very least know d basics, can defend , pass, control ah ball.............we lack basics an' your major concern is being entertained trinidad football needs to be rebuilt from the ground up with attention to basics, we are going to have to build teams dat play so called ugly but technically correct football, dis flare an' flambouyance trinis does convince deh self we have, an' mus display for no greater reason dan to give some dumbass in the crowd ah mental orgasm of sorts, is reason why ah man go spin he opponent all over d place, have crowd fallin over self, all d while space dat was created is being closed down, an wen d player look is because 5 defenders around im and d chance gone, but we idiots happy "ah man get one sweet rolly-polly"....................but no goal
