Was asked to post this on the Jam vs Spurs Game

[Mosiah]

In our last 5 games, how many goals have we scored?

[Don1]

Clearly! It will be interesting to hear Stoni's views on a player who could not deal with a likkle snow.

Playin' inna snow can be vital....

Juss nat dis close to di Equator... but Stoni might ave some stats fi prove oddawise

[Karl]

Thanks OJ, I hear you, I don't think any one man can solve our passing issue, but we need to have a strong eye out for developing good ball handlers who are also good passers otherwise we are wasting our time.

Our players for the most part are good ball handlers excellent in the one on one, but efficient, intelligent, passing going forward or in tight time sensitive situations is almost non existent. That is what is needed in every single position not just the attacking mid as many believe.

Amen!!!

[Karl]

They are not the same!!!
...and in any case it reminds of the Lampard/Gerrard past debate... As it relates to gifted players being on the same TEAM...matters not if they are seen as similar in acts...it was a nonsense debate them and it is now! It only makes sense if both (not just one) players are fools i.e. being unable to think through opponents posed problems and solve same/adapt actions to counter same. ...and it is just impossible to be a top quality player and poor on field thinker/'workplace thinker'.

Why last 5?
...in all our games outside of those against CFU TEAM...right?

[Mosiah]

Just picked 5. How about our last 10? CFU or not, is Jamaica same way!

Re: CFU or not

Nope! It is not the same.
...a properly coached All-Schools TEAM could defeat some of those CFU teams. Our record at that basement level is great. Cannot be compared in any way on like for like with playing at higher levels.

[Me]

Not sure who was playing in 22 but game away the ball too much. Teddy change the game but I dont know about him. He helped but at times put his head down and go on this mazy run to know where when you have players waiting for the ball. But he changed the game. The youh form germany stood out for me.. Man of the match for me. Also the 14 it may have been Evan Taylor played well. .

Just saw some pictures. 22 was Damian Williams and 14 was Taylor.

[Assasin]

Glad to see Evan Taylor playing good. His Journey to HV really did him well. Saw him in the A league up here and he was far from impressive then, that was two years ago.

Good to see him sought himself out. Well done young man.

[Mosiah]

That's funny. I find that Damion Williams protects the ball quite well in the NPL while Taylor tends to give it away.

Anyway, one match!

[Mosiah]

So, how many goals did we score at that basement level? Did we score 20 goals that will skew the numbers over our last 10 matches?!

[Bruce]

Daniel is a good passer of the ball, but only an average at best dribbler. He usally takes what the other team gives him and then he passes. He is not an offensive/defensive player in the sense of Philip Lahm of Bayern Munich.

[Bruce]

Daniel Did What He Was Asked To Do

OJ so you said Gordon was man of the match, he must have really played well for you to pick him as mom. What advantages does he bring in his game compared to what we currently have at that position.

Daniel is trying to plug a gaping hole in the defense caused by the injury to Nyron Nosworthy. It appears he did a very good job. He broke up attacks, prevented the turn-and shoot, and made good passes to the midfield. What more do you want? I don't know if he had any chances as a target for set pieces.

I have always said that if Nosworthy or Mariappa cannot play, Daniel is the best available replacement. I stand by that statement.

Well?
...it must be that I have jumped the gun and you 'bald' statement was not a lead into statement on our goal scoring record being improved with a certain player in the squad?

...because I am sure our matches against CFU opposition - not just our last 10 matches but say, since 1962 - show us being 'more prolific' (woo mi belli) against CFU opponents (2nd formers) than against higher quality opponents.

[Jangle]

hehehe...Bruce yuh start get get bringle a'ready??? Wait till Stoni start "analyse' him stats. At least Gordon have one thing going for him in that him know how fe play inna snow.
