No Jason Scotland? Smh!!!!!!!
Thank God! he is ah waste of space if you ask me, he cyar penetrate, he's slows down play and he can't fast break, and more importantly, he don't ever score or assist, so what we need him for??
we have better hungrier players in peltier and roberts. scotland played in the last two WCQ under beenie, pancho and latas from start to finish in the last WCQ and he eh even assist on ah goal further more scored one, i say it's time to try something different.
I think he's past his best fitness wise ... but don't put him down like that he have touches and is a smart player my only beef with him was that he is a bit slow ........
slow down our attack? since when Trinidad does attack at speed ... he was necessary to hold up the ball so our midfielders could catch up with the attack since they always lagging behind the play... which game allyuh does be watching .... if you think he's shit then you must feel the same way bout kj .... only the few goals KJ score with his head saving he ... because I think his game is absolute sheit and scotty have better touches and is a smarter player!!!
So what yuh saying, yuh know more football than me?? FYI i not in no competition ting wid you pardner, if scotland is ah favorite of yours then fine, but lets face facts, he was crap in the last WCQ campaign, and the hex before that.
so he was shyte twice in ah row, and quite ah few members share my sentiment. love it or hate it the stats speak for itself.
as for comparing KJ with scotty, and KJ's inability to score with his feet, FYI, KJ scores 30% of his goals with his feet MR football professor! how many goals did scotty scored in the prem with his feet, his hand , his nose, his balls or even his toe nail? well let me tell yuh, ONE!!
he had one goal to his name with all his "lovely" touches and sublime skill, and yuh want tuh say "he" better and smarter than KJ? when i mention scotty slowing up the game, what i meant to say was that he can't create for himself, since he don't fast break and run @ defenders, instead someone has to put him in scoring position, and that allows the opposing defense to organize and defend in numbers. so there goes our counter attack strategy.
as for him needing to bring midfielders in the play, poor excuse! just ask cornell glenn how does that work. cornell glenn was our liveliest player in the WC in germany bc of his ability to counter attack and run @ defenders, and it almost proved fruitful, that's what weaker teams rely on to level the playing field and diminish their disadvantage.
as for KJ's head saving him, what kind of idiot statement iz dat? it's like saying ronaldo's speed and ability to score on set pieces saving him, when that is the man's strong points.
you should never question anyone's football knowledge with that pile yuh just typed. it's ah good thing that you does sit behind ah computer instead of coaching in ah mega league,
BC i could see ah fella with KJ's ability not gettin any breaks from you and ah lot of armchair coaches round here, since allyuh like pretty footballers with no goal tally! that's one of the reason for T&T's failurs over the yrs, pretty football, with no reward/ finishing.
So what yuh saying, yuh know more football than me??" what kinda lil boy ting yuh dey wit ... steups anywayyyy.
Well Mr. Just Cool the good thing about being an armchair coach is that I comfortable and I have no problem with sitting back, relaxing and dispatching wisdom to the needy and drinking a cold shandy!!!.
Anyway onto el discussion lemme tell you about the chances I would give KJ , I wouldnt give him anymore than he deserves.
First of all if you read my quote I said scotty have better touches and he is a smarter player "fact".... never said he is a fav of mine and didnt say he was a 'better' player than KJ that is not how I does judge players lot more other parameters have to come into play ... did you see me say any of those things .... you just fly off the hook like somebody light a firecracker under yuh ass.
Also after Stern I really aint see much people lighting up the goalscoring charts in the wc campaign did you?
I not here to fight down the merits of comparing Scotty to KJ .... like he is a princess in distress and I'm a knight come to save him... pleaseee!!!
I just say doh fight down the man like that.
Scotland's strength is shooting ... both feet .. rockets!!! This isnt really about him being successful or not his team was wigan ... wigan!! Consistently battling relegations for three years running
not exactly a team brimming with confidence or a waterfall of goalscoring opportunities against the competition .. you wanna bring stats into this ... please tell me that you don't pick players solely based on stats ...say it aint so!!!!
I think I use KJ as an example because you seem to be the man groupie, however what the man brings to the national team now could be similarly compared to what you propose Scotty brought as well .. which evidently is nothing!!!
But ..... I have genuine reason to dislike what KJ now brings to the national team ..... based on what he used to and based on what a man now assuming a greater more responsible role should bring... namely effort!!!!!
KJ scores 30 % of goals with his feet you said .. to me that is not a typical percentage for goalscorers I would think that would be more ... which further adds credence to what I and everyone else knows that basically if not for his heading he wouldnt bring anything else to the table based on his current demeanor.
But, the truth be told if that's his strong point aint nobody taking away from that but he simply does nothing else he doesnt seem motivated to try .. I miss the hustle.... in fact I owuld go as far as to say ... that is the why he playing for Stoke and not a big name like Liverpool.... just in case yuh feel other cioaches eh notice it as well. We went to nashvile and despite the team playing bag of lala he did nada .. nada .... jog around a bit while carlos running he ass up and down de wing wokking like ah dog.
It's really simple he is lazy! Based on what you say ... you watch national ball so surely you remember KJ's efforts during the WC qualifying campaign .. gritty and agressive come to mind ..my admiration for the kid was boundless and this was confirmed when he came on in the wc vs paraguay..... with the exception of latas cameo, KJ's cameo had me convinced that we had a young striker to pass the mantle onto and build around. Similar sentiments with sunderland did you remember his debut with them .....turn on a man one touch and a left foot bazooka ..plus an assist ...man off dey chair bawling ah tell yuh .. same ting with stoke hot an sweaty then boil down like bajee!!
My beef with this shitong .. (with beef being too strong a sentiment because I dont care either way) is the fact that we have seen a drastic drop in his performance or effort yet people still seems to think what he did in the past justifies what little he does in the present and the fact that he is seen as a irreplaceable element on our national team.
I've observed two players and I observed their motivations .... Yorke and KJ ... when KJ was performing it was about hunger he wasnt a starter he was trying to get there .. hungry .. Yorke was coming to the end of his career and as veteran when the end is near you play everyday as its your last because you dunno how much time you have left.
Seems as though somebody always trying to baby this f**ker like he is a lil boy .. he's 26 years old
Likie I trying to question your knowledge of the game like I give a f**k ... when I ready to gain knowledge or opinion on players I does bounce it off the real ballers on this board observer, touches, doc and de rest of the crew .. not men like you whose 'sensibilities' is so easily offended because we give yuh plain talk bout yuh bwoi!!!
Anyway I going and watch yuh boi play hopefully he'll prove meh wrong.
