Who really needs rebuilding - The coach or the team ?

[Sam]

We playing for pride but de players not playing with pride.

Latapy, please go home !!!! you are out of your league.

Maybe you will be a good coach oneday, I just hope not on our account.

You rebuilding a team when is really you that needs the rebuilding.

There is no excuse for the way we play, forget the loss, every team losses.

Just yesterday at work my Guatemala friends asking me what wrong with T&T football, they said they shocked the way we are playing.

I had to make up some excuse and tell them is the under 20 team and they pinpoint Abu Bakr, they say where allyuh find he, in Guatemala they woulda shoot he long time.

I dont care if Abu Bakr will be a good player oneday, this is not rehab or flicking therapy. Come back when yuh good.

Marvin Andrews was slow, but he had a blasted brain.

I hope Mexico hit we about 6.

Just over three years ago we were neck and neck with teams like Sweden.  I say we start with a director of football and start preparing for 2014, we could do it!!!

[davidephraim]

who needs rebuilding??  The man in the mirror is who needs rebuilding! Lets start with the man in the mirror.

neck and neck with Sweden?  Like you watch the game without an antennae on yuh tv?

Be realistic.

3 years ago we were an organized team playing well with our limitations.

The campaign is over, now we get the wringing of hands and the gnashing of teeth.
That is to be expected.

The bottom line: We are not good enough.
Period
Full Stop.

But unlike a lot of the reactionists on this board, I have hope.
We are playing better than we have in years (at least since Wim left).
This is a team that will be in transition as we figure out ways to replace the 2006 players.
Understand. The team you're seeing now is pretty close to the team you will be seeing in 2010.

The 2010 Caribbean cup is up next. It will probably be the qualifier for the 2011 gold cup. The work continues.

We need to stop hoping for the quick fix from some "big name" coach. The closest we had to a serious coaching program was from Wim, and we know you loved him so much.

I have seen T&T play without pride and without effort. This is not that team.
Remember Richmond, VA in 1996? Foxboro in 2001?

Let the coach do his work. If we can't dominate the 2010 Caribbean cup, then we can talk about who is out of their league.

Hope eh, yuh mean like de hope ah had when ah drive meh 11 hours to Nashville, hoping Latas de savior wouldna just  show up to play another scrimmage (for de US) like in chicago?
not to attack you eh breds but c'mon man we cyah afford to wait until we see how we do in 2010 against caribbean opposition jed.
We want ah 'big name' coach now wid ah clue, to get rid of de laborers and start moulding ah team wid speedy players who could do the fundamentals (dat rule out Seon Powers)...and maybe he could get dem to play with fire in dey belly for de country, Russell sure-as-hell can't...oh and also dat new coach might like Birchall:)

[Bitter]

Is where allyuh getting all these World-Class players from?

What is good football to you? Football is not only played forward.

The objectives of the game are to get behind the defense and score while preventig the other team from doing same. How you get there depends on the coach's interpretation and vision of the principles of play and the players' ability to implement that vision collectively and consistently over 90 minutes in every game.

I have hope.

We goh continue to live in hope and dead in despair.....

Did Latas had a coaches interview for this job?? If he did who was involve!! and what kind of coaching questions was asked, just to make sure that Latas had some education.. about coaching at this level. Abu Bakr selection definitely raised this interview question.

Coaches Interview?!! Yuh mad or what?!

Did Camps have an interview for his job?!

Nothing in T&T football with the current administration is planned out properly!

When Camps is lost for ideas (which in case you don't know is all the time) he simply picks up the phone and calls his advisor Jack. Jack what to do boy?!

So when Maturana had gone way pass his welcome date and Latas was already in place as his assistant it was only natural for Jack to come up with the brilliant money saving idea of making Latas the new head coach and hope for the best. He was confident that Latas couldn't demand no decent friendlies so he would not just be saving on the coach's salary but also on the cost of decent preparation games as well!
Jackula's deadly eyes were already focusing at that time on new blood to suck from our U-20 players for the U-20 World Cup and onwards as they graduate to the senior team as none of them are involved in any lawsuit against him unlike certain members of the ex-senior team.

The TTFF is a joke which equates to our footballers always being at a disadvantage when we want to compete on the international stage.

[just cool]

Is where allyuh getting all these World-Class players from?

We have world class players! KJ, stern, carlos, hyland, jlloyd, roberts (have the potential to be), tinto(have the potential to be) marvin phillips (more than have the potential to be).

lemme ask allyuh this, how much world class players mex, and usa have, usa= donavon, davies, altidore,(has the potential to be) dempsey, bradley. howard.

mex,=   vela, marques, dosantos( has the potential to be) franco, blanco, lopez. excuse me if i missed out on anyone. my point iz, these team did not beat or out classed for talent, they beat us BC they were far more organized, they played their best players, they had proper preparation, they had ah great coaching and technical staff.

our coaches and preparation were sh!t! and allyuh see where that could take a team , just look @ jamaica, semoes picked the wrong players and created an environment of chaos for their players, same thing with sven and mexico. latas have tuh ride out, and the TTFF should follow suite.

only wid ah good fair coach who willing to work wid the best players we have, without the interference of any local jacka$$ who claim they know talented players, only then would we succeed.

lets hire ah good coach and that coach should call all the players who were ever capped in the last 4 yrs that's under the age of 33. he should then keep ah 10 day camp, from which he should choose the best 30 players for a core of players.

stop wid the laborers and the clueless turtles, we have the players to compete, but they not getting picked!

[sjahrain]

The team needs to rebuilt and Latas as coach can only grow with and on the team,while all outside influences are kept to the minimum

Here's the correction:
Our administration and preparation were sh!t!

Your post will only make sense after a change of administration from the head down inside the TTFF!

" Who really needs rebuilding - The coach or the team ?  "

try the Four King "Spetial Advithor"

for years now, if any player ONLY sneezes too loud, Mr Warner Blacklists them....totally childish behaviour indeed

Buh is OK as he brings in BIG Money for FIFA....so FIFA NEEDS this CASH COW

I can Totally concur on your assessment of Corneal, as he does indeed have a history....a very long history, but to lump Latas in there is premature in my opinion....having said that, his initial set of matches does not reflect on him in a favourable light.

[madness]

de team needs rebuilding
