There is nothing to lose. Bahrain, cheap as they play, will pack their midfield and defense and stay on defense.
The T&T team we see on Saturday must not be the same one on Wednesday. We have to keep on the attack, pass the ball around more, move it up, none of that kinda uncertainty we saw. Jack took too long with the ball at times, giving the Bahrain attackers time to go back - just kick the ball up, a Warrior go find it!
Everytime there is an opening, even a half-opening, leggo bullet. How Birchall score is what we hadda do. He could have easily stopped the ball and passed it to the fellas in the box, but he took initiative, believed in his shot, and took it - and it went IN. Whitley, Birchall, Spann and dem have to act as second strikers on Wednesday. Edwards cutting in the box nicely. Just leggo bullet. It could fall to someone's feet, e.g. Mexico game: Whitley's shot off the bar for Stern's 1st goal.
Free kicks - do we have a specialist? A designated taker? We had a nice chance just outside the box , but the shot went wide. To go for power is fine, but accuracy might've helped us better - curl around the wall, maybe force a save.
One thing I sure of is that Beenhakker eh making joke for Wednesday. The Warriors must come out CHARGED, from the first whistle to the last.
