We are giving away the ball much too often

[Me]

Hard working player, but he is extremely limited.

[Nemesis]

Well the wing play is squeezing the field and we're not getting enough chances, somebody like Watson better start some inventive play pon de pitch...LOL

[Stonigut]

That is what pressure does, when the guys are fast and big and proactive that slow cycle time on each touch is no good, then we become long ball kings as we Cannot move the ball as easily as against Guatemala.

[Dunny]

Shelton and Watson need fi come off now, we need something to start happening.

[Nemesis]

Change the formation and attack the midfield of atigua.

[Nemesis]

I dont get that sub..

[Dunny]

it look like Tappa a play fi a draw, a weh di raaaaas this

[Plush]

cant criticize too much..ddidn't see anyone playing rreal bad..we needed a good strategy to break them down...we really failed to get behind the defence at any time..Whitmore needs to come with a good strategy to win these games

[Karl]

...not in this case.
We made the errors without any help. In tennis it is called 'unforced errors'.

[Me]

He took too long to bring on Fuller. Antigua defends with everybody behind the ball, on such a small pitch players like Stevens (like he did on that last attack) make a huge difference. All the players looks timid in possession (says a lot about their technical abilities).

Lovell almost made them win the game in the first half.

Antigua are no push overs they look quite solid, Jamaica need to move the ball quicker.

Have to disagree by saying Antigua is a push over...just not for us (as we played today). ...and am in full agreement that we need to move the ball quicker. ...and following up here, we (my Reggae Boyz players) also need to move them damn selves into support positions quicker! ...and stap gi weh di damn ball!

the same thing happened in the GC last year..we are slow in thinking and therefore slow in moving....against USA we will suffer, cause they will close us down quickly like they did in GC.

Karl I've noticed that you've stayed away from the Tappa arguments. What are your thoughts?

[Stonigut]

I hear you Karl, but typically that cowithout to less space to operate, these guys were as big, as fast as physical as jamaica they were also very combative, Shutting down space very quickly, giving the guys little room for the slow lazy ball we call possession ball.

How many times did I see one of our boys have the ball taken off him or lose out on a 50:50 ball or lose the scraps in a tussle for ball and position, we were out hustled, and they played well to their capabilities and almost scored on a number of occasions using a basic long ball strategy which we had a tough time with.

This game (in a certain sense/on a certain level) is simple.

If you are playing an opponent physically stronger than you are commonsense suggests you "go with your friend"...i.e. beat the opponent from 'far out' - one-twos/movement and passing! ...as mi seh commonsense that must be used as wi innah di game. Players jobs? Solving problems opponents present! ...an solve dem quick suh yuh TEAM benefits!!!
