The slow players of today - e.g. Arsenal's: Flamini, Fabregas and Sendoros...are by our standards e.g. Fuller and Shelton, are quick. (...and unfortunately for us, their technical ability and tactical know-how puts Langley's to shame).
...a Langley is miiiiiiiiiillllllleeeeeeeeeeees slower! So slow in today's game -he will hardly see the ball during any top quality game. Passes made to him that it will be seem by the spectators as reasonable passes will be 'cut out' by the faster opponents he shall be facing.
...btw - nice to see you using rthe exact same argument I used when defending "Tappa" - if he is the best we have then...."

...and, I agree if Langley is the best we have then...
...but, I hope he is not among the best we have, come 2008 and onwards.
btw- Those who saw Pepe's display and think he can stand for one moment with say our weaker CONCACAF opponents like Cuba and Haiti are in land. Even balls coming directly to Pepe those quicker players will get to before him! Pepe was creeping in the matches against Guatemala we all just saw!!!
Shavar is also a liability! Forget the apparent ease on the ball he showed...on every chase to a ball where he had a big lead he arrived at the ball only just in the nick of time. Quick passing and turning that will be required against Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, USA will leave him for dead if we were seeing his best speed.
I really think he could go a wee bit faster...but, not fast enough to make any difference to what I saw. I am 62 and I think I would give him a good run! Imagine that...




Please we are looking towards a FIRST RATE TEAM Reggae Boyz!
Not a - "well they were not too bad TEAM"!
