Wow.. This hadda be the most generous Touches match report I read in ages, look ah even seeing an acknowledgement of meh boy Seon Power.
In some ways reading the comments here, I feel like i watch a different game to everybody else yes. Granted I reach on 15', allyuh have me wondering if dem boys show something before i reach.
First and foremost, let me say this and kiffysmooth ah want yuh to listen well..
If you are a veteran player, captain of our national team and playing against India of all people, and STILL looking like a shitong; so much so that the quiet crowd heartily applauds your substitution, you have no business on my national side Denzil Theobald!
The man was lala.. If he aint taking his time to make a carefully weighted bad pass, he holding onto the ball too long and breaking down the play. He misreading men runs and playing the ball where they aint go, and furthermore his completed passes is only lateral and back. I know men does argue that is his role, to hold possession and make the simple pass but if that is yuh position yuh supposed to have a high percentage of passes completed. Basically the same complaints we hearing for years, bout time that get pelt.
Personally for me, the best players on the pitch were Hughton Hector, Seon Power, Hayden Tinto and Darryl Roberts.. Toussaint was excellent in he 10 minute run as well. I go take them men on the basis of this performance but besides that, give me my Hyland and Birchall in the middle, Daniel on the left and Carlos in the wing back when the qualifiers start thank you very much.
Overall though I not sure how men could be happy with the brand dey see out there today. Them men look lethargic and show a worrying lack of urgency and I was wondering if the hot humidity had something to do with it. When is time to press the play, men halting and playing the ball all the way back to the stoppers from India half. The wingers we had on was getting their markers on one v ones and refusing to take them on or try to run at dem. And them indian players, as soon as yuh hit them a one fan they getting confused. I would have like to see our wide players carry dem for a run. Instead, men giving up the responsibility and passing off with a predictability.
We need to encourage players like Hector, Tinto and Toussaint to express themselves in the game more, nutten aint wrong with carrying yuh man for a run or unsettling a man with a 2 shake. This pass-off/give-up-responsibility kinda play not hard to stifle against a marginally better and properly structured team.
Peeps, it cyah be only me that left that game feeling lil aggrieved and studying my $100 that jump up because everyone else in my uncovered section leave steupsing and grumbling and saying we not ready.
Matter of fact it was one of the most unfulfilling 3-0 wins I've witnessed and them fellas will need to pick it up a notch come qualifiers. Pfister heself too, is a friendly and you waiting till the 80th minute to send on subs?? What yuh expect to learn from those subs giving them 10 and 5 minute run out?
Anyhow all said and done say wha.. Allyuh go see meh in the Bermuda game.
