I'm not sure how many of you saw the T&T vs. Martinique Digicel Caribbean Cup game last night, but one player definitely stood out from the rest - Densill Theobald. His passing, defensive tactics, technique, control and confidence expressed a level of superiority that is not yet possessed by any of the other players on the team. Quite frankly Densill Theobald is Premiership Material. Just a few out of order words cost him that in Scotland - it clearly had nothing to do with professional skill. There is no question that he should be this team's captain, and that he should continue to be featured in the senior team.

There are other notable players.

Leslie Fitzpatrick who was a constant menace for Martinique on that left side, although I don't see him challenging Samuel for that left side position as yet.

At half time the commentators, were virtually calling for Gary Glasgow's removal, however, he delivered the goods twice in the second half. All in all though, I don't see him challenging Stern any time soon. I actually think that given the number of easy open chances that this team had, had Stern been present the scoreline would have looked like that of an 'American Football' game.

Hayden Tinto, who came on in the 66th minute is definitely senior national team material. He has potential. If the team is missing Carlos Edwards, Tinto can comfortably fill the void.

Kerwin 'Hardest' Jemmot did not impress me - and this is not a diss to TI. Rather, TI please call Hardest and tell the man that he needs to step up his game - Theobald and Tinto are looking much better than he is, and they are more game impacting than he is. As far as comparisons to Latapy, some were saying 20 out of 10 and 8 out of 10 for Hardest - not even close - I say 4 out of 10. Had Latapy been on that field, that game would have ended early because of the fighting Martinicans (did i spell that right?).

All in all I think that it was a decent performance by a very inexperienced team. I don't believe that this team could replace our world cup squad entirely, rather the best could be included and the worst/older ones of the World Cup team could be replaced.

This is a joke right?

perhaps u are right...and perhaps Wim is just doing a good job at managing the press and his players' confidence. All part of a coach's job. I did not see the Martnique game, so I cannot comment on how well Densil played. But your statement is quite naive. Having said that, it will be nice if his performances continue to improve. Like I said before, Densil cannot be where he is now without having something...a lot of different coaches have or have had belief in him..not just Wim

Deeks · « **Reply #131 on:** January 17, 2007, 06:46:56 AM »

Good Morning Guys,
I confuse about Denzil. He good or not. Some of you say he is not worth it. Some say he is premiership material. Which is true?. His passing is good but he defence is bad. Plus he gets push off the ball. Anybody have a video of the game?

Touches · « **Reply #132 on:** January 17, 2007, 08:11:43 AM »

When the game come on video I want alyuh confirm this with me.

Denzil looking good because he getting the ball under NO PRESSURE.

He collecting the ball in the stopper position with nobody pressuring him so he could take his time look up and spray passes........he doing it well and looking good.

When is midfield battle time defensively he coming second.

I find he is moving smart and using his upstairs as he knows what his strengths and weaknesses are.

It is because of this people giving him different ratings.

Watch him good. You must measure a player touch and composure when pressure take him, not when he have room and space.

I watched some of the B'dos vdo, and man that was a slow game. No up front pressure at all. They were playing the same way Trini does which I hate, sit back and wait for the opponent to enter the last 1/3 of the pitch before picking them up.
Vs Mexico that will never happen, is constant pressure and if you dont have touch and control you will lose the ball under pressure and the defense will be under constant attack.

One thing I will say though, some folks like to say not to get carried away because of the low level of the opponents, I am one of those, but on the flip side, if you playing a team that is weak then you supposed to put 5 on them not scrape through 1 - nil.
So even though they looking good vs soft oppostition, they get props for that at least, cause you should look good vs weak opponents.

I think that this is a key oversight from which many posters on this thread suffer. Falkirk's coach could have evaluated Theobald and send him straight back to T&T - instead he offered a contract in the Scottish Premier League not the fete match league

. Several T&T players did trials and came straight back home - Theobald came back because he was a casualty of his mouth. Interestingly enough, Theobald's problem is still lack of self control. Several times during this game he mouthed off the referee. This will eventually cost him.

Touches · « **Reply #135 on:** January 17, 2007, 08:29:06 AM »

1989,

So yuh saying his mouth make him unable to make the Bench at Falkirk on a regular basis and it was also the reason for him not being able to start a match or make the first team.

Or is it because Latapy keep him out the side.

Reality is that Theobald's mouth kept him aiming for the bench. Further, before the start of this season the coach informed him that the bench was higher that the stars for him.... (yuh know how they say to aim for the stars

) That alone shows that the coach made up his mind long before.

He will lose out on a lot more if he doesn't exercise wisdom.

Constructive critique, but also remember that Theobald played in the Mexico game.

Benjie · « **Reply #138 on:** January 17, 2007, 04:56:32 PM »

I think that part of the problem with Theobald is that persons find it hard to categorise him. He ain't an attacking mid, defensive mid or a winger. He is for the want of a better phrase a water carrier. Similar players (in style not ability) would be Gilberto and Carrick. That being so he isnt going to put in hard tackles or create a goal out of nothing and if you expect him to you have a long wait. I think part of the issue with him like Jemmott is that they would look better in a 3 man midfield with somebody to do the spade work. Theobald can do the running and Jemmott (he would like not having to run much) the passing.

He is a decent positional player and tries to stick to the coaches plan, something most of our players have problems doing. The fact is many coaches will like him for that. In terms of whether he is or isn't Premiership Material has a lot to do with his reaction to training. As all who have made it have said the first few years before acceptance they push you to see whether you are strong enough mentally to make it. If you are then you move to the next level. To date he hasn't shown it. Many players have gotten worse treatment than he has, risen above it and now are considered top professionals.
