All a alyuh criticising Kenwyne for not scoring for T&T is jokers- get out of your delusionary state,and stop seeking a scapegoat to deflect from confronting the hard truth of sub-par nature of our team.(if the right players are picked and organised, we have the potential to be a very effective TEAM though)
The clear and blatant problem is that t&t midfielders can barely play a decent final ball(proper pacy and accurate cross, through ball or pass to striker in opp. box). Sunderland midfielders- though not the best- can, especially the new guys this season(cattermole,cana). Of the literally one or two good final balls our team may play for a game, people expect the strikers to score every one.
Even the very best goalscorers won't score much on a team that can barely create ANY decent chances for them. Like another poster above said, our team is more like a collection of players wearing the same kit, they don't play together effectively. We have always had good strikers, but our midfield usually is sorely sub-par, so the defenders are left exposed and the strikers barely get any good final balls played to them. The only strikers who score for us are the type that can drop deeper and go forward and score, and not depend on the midfield.(e.g. Stern John- the guy so many ungrateful trinis deride)
A good midfield is supposed to consistently be able to create decent chances, our's anything but does that consistent. If strikers miss a chance, they're supposed to be able to pick themselves up and keep probing the opposition to get chances through to the striker, and even a half decent striker will likely eventually score a few.(And our strikers aren't just half decent, they're pretty good)
We act like our strikers are supposed to convert every of the one or two half chances our midfield could muster each match.
Even players like ronaldo and messi need a good team around them to perform effectively- just look what is going on with their national teams and wc2010 qualification.
You all need to wake up, and confront the hard truth that our team's problems go much deeper than you all want to admit. We always think our teams are better than they are and seek to blame one or two individuals for our failures-and that's a big part of our problems. We need to look at things honestly to solve our problems, and not take the easy, illogical and small-man ways out.(that won't get us anywhere of course, as evidenced our current state)
