I think it’s a good waste of time and going forward all our friendlies should be first team players so they could iron out whatever kinks they may need to work on and create cohesion, but these useless friendlies are only damaging our fifa rankings.
How can that be. How can friendlies be useless? We are disappointed with the performances. Whether we like Lawrence or not, these guys, need to play as much international as possible. Damaging our fifa rankings ? Are you kidding ?
where have you been mate? from here on in fifa rankings determine whether we make it to the hex or not or if our players are eligible to play in the english leagues, not these inferior leagues scattered about indo china where most of our players are finding themselves for one season at a time.
ATM our players lack quality because they’re finding themselves playing in India and thailand where the playing level is lower or slightly on par with what we have in trinidad. when our lads were in England Scotland and Wales they were at least fit enough to play international football, but have you ever wondered why most of our goals are conceded in the 2nd half, could fitness be the catalyst for both mental and physical fatigue that plague these boys every single game?
and as far as international friendlies are concerned, deeks I’m very surprised at you. why would you waste a fifa window opportunity to play an all local team when you could engage your first team into getting more playing time together to work on the things that needs to be resolved?
have you ever wondered why you don’t see an english or an argentinian B team playing on a fifa window, or playing a bunch of away games or why sometimes these teams opt for a lower ranking teams to have target practice with?
these teams do that because one......they cannot risk losing that’s why they try to play as much home games as possible, and when they do play away games they choose inferior lower ranking teams, that’s because fifa ranking are essential to the teams they draw in their group for euro or World Cup qualifying, it’s only us who don’t understand how very important fifa rankings are, that’s why we are now being drawn in tougher groups, come on mate I’m surprised i had to go through all this explanations when you should know better.
