I agree, Honduras has improved.
Clovis choked again.
1. Gardener has to be playing forward or attacking midfield
2. Lowe has to know the meaning of finesse,like yesterday. No more brute force big shots from bad angles. Plus he has to pass the ball a lot more, no more dribbling. We aint going to get any more borderline penalities from here out.
2. We have to try to string together more passes during the Game.
3. Bench either Whitmore or Andy. I would prefer Whithmore.Even though Andy plays too many hail Mary passes. He can't play strategically. Hyde should also start. He has less skills,but is much better tackler, and plays better passing game.Whithmore is a problem.Maybe he would play better with Hyde, it's worth a try. He has better attacking player than Andy.
7. Clovis has to take a serious look in the mirror. We aint improving. We keep making the same mistakes. Especially Lowe, the coach seems has no control over Lowe. He is one man team.Plus His handling of Gardener is atrocious. Gardener should be shooting a lot more on goal, he has very high scoring percentage per shot.
Anyway.
Looking forward to Wednesday.
Here are my suggestions to get us back on our winning ways.
Respeck.
That's my positive contribution.

Shatta, did the game pass us by, or did we just not take hold of the game as we should? It was there for the taking, we just refused to put them away.
We need to be like a boxer and go for the knockout. Don't leave the fight to a referee's decision, as we seem to be doing in expecting penalty kicks.
Onandi Lowe needs to learn to work with and off his teammates. This one man army will fail most times against good opposition. Fuller needs to be reminded that as a striker, his job is to strike. That is to kick the ball with the intention of getting it into the back of the net. It is all good and well he beats defenders, but he has to test the goalkeeper!
Tappa and Andy needs to step up. They are still giving up the midfield to the opposition.
Coach de Oliveria also needs to show better tactical awareness than he has to date. We make the same mistakes, and we do not seem capable of correcting them.
Some would say bring back the Perl, but is he the answer? The Perl would be just as ineffective without proper service.
Anyway, I am gone to watch Brazil Vs Argentina in U-20 WC.

Forget the Pearl and you will see the big picture. WE are dumb to the game tactically. If you recall the 1997 qualifiers we gave the US fits when we kept the ball on the ground and ran at them both at home and away and what did we do this time around?
Tilla I am a football fan and I must say that the game has indeed past us by.

Anyone wants to argue with me that the game has passed us by?
