I hope the team.....  I'm sure the coach will mention it.... but.....  STOP MISSING SITTERS. 
It should have been 6 - 1...   2 from KJ plus the 2 we miss.   Those goals go in Panama break crowd gorn home. 

[ON DE BLOCK]

it's a big win, and the tone of the game was friendly mode, abu baka's goal was brilliant from our one an only corner, the back heel to Jones outside the 18 yrd box was a class goal, as is said in golf,"the game is on the green" so too in football the game comes down to that 18 yrd box area, KJ is a giant on the field an usually runs out of real estate, but once he get the space, he has what it takes, our defence gives up alot of space, and its only left to be seen how we deal with messi type skill, all in all the soca warriors is not a one hit wonder, somebody call putin an tell him, the soca warriors started the march to Russia...

And I was apprehensive about criticizing Cyrus too much. You nailed it!! We also need a pair of Keepers. These two are probably the worst since I am following T&T football. We have to find a good backup for Bateau. When he is not around things just seem to fall apart. Maybe the coach can convert a couple of our midfielders to defense. We need better ball handlers and better tacklers on our wing defense.
Hart is good! he is doing a marvelous job with the ingredients that he has at his disposal.

Very important win for the continued progression of this National Team. 

I thought the tactics were spot on to match them 4-4-2 and our first goal was link up between Glenn and KJ. 2nd half tactics to go to the 4-4-1-1 also paid dividends with a very bright display from Ceaser off the right causing chaos and should have had a couple assists with the Joevin and Hyland chances.
We fully deserved to be 2-0 up when Abu put it in.

Now... this is something I have seen for a long time but it seems to go unnoticed. Cyrus is a total liability. I could not believe of all people Hart would bring him on with us 2-0 up and in need of CALM and leave Marshall who is very composed on the bench...Cyrus is a loose dog off his leash who breathes chaos and neglects composure. His very presence on the field caused us to become erratic tactically. I wasnt surprised they took full control from there on in and scored 1 shit goal to get back into it.
In the future I do hope we use a better option such as Marshall.

All in all a great result.

Please ! Please ! local fans come out and support the players and staff on Tuesday. Share the info on your social media pages, spread it via email. talk shout , we need to get back the love for the team because they are fighting for us the fans, for the flag and for the country.

Good fighter, but, Mekeil Williams is a problem waiting to happen

does he play left back in guatemala?

Yes, he does.

[Tallman]

Good fighter, but, Mekeil Williams is a problem waiting to happen

He got abused in de second half, but he also wasn't getting much help from de midfield.

[trini supporter]

Two nice goals from KJ and Bakr , we had some very nervous moments and the back  and got some lucky escapes. I say again we really need to start looking for a better keeper!

[maxg]

Where did Hoyte play , middle with Abu ?

Pick a best starting defense for WC qualifiers (not next friendly )  with position (G + 4 & 2 subs).

Trinidad & Tobago - 1.Marvin Phillip; Jan, G. Hoyte ,J Hoyte; A David,Radanfah Abu Bakr, Sheldon Bateau ,Daneil Cyrus,Mekeil Williams, C Mitchell, A Jones, J Jones, Powers (like he loss in the bamboo)

I think I forgetting somebody ..

He was between a rock and a hard place, and in some ways that was the test for him. However, I agree: he was at times exposed to situations in which he was 1v2 plus a 3rd player making a delayed direct run into the space behind him. Tough deal for any human to address "alone".

That was one element of the game that I want to look at again, but in an initial assessment, I would say without question that he's vulnerable to speed and acceleration - even 1v1. And nippy attackers will exist in qualifying. .

However, in the situations in which the dangers developed from us making negative passes, yuh could empathize with him. Since 1v1 is a basic reality in football and incredibly important to resolve, I think we are dealing with a "cooked goose".

Frankly, in some respects, nothing new here. That position would definitely have shown up as an area of vulnerability for us in any opponent's scouting report. My assessment is the job (position) remains available. Hiring manager: S. Hart.

Some satisfaction for Gold Cup loss on penalties,very good win against one of the best teams in CONCACAF.

Partially due to NOT "framing" the goal. But, I think the evidence will show a similar proportion squandered in practice. We have technical issues in this area ... beyond "framing" and on a sophisticated level, framing is a technical consideration.

Also think that a player like Plaza (merely an example) has finishing qualities but lacks in other collective considerations, so we have a situation in which we lose something on one end, to gain something in another.

Nobody cyah tell me where is Primus up to now. He injured? He fall off? He kidnapped? Why he out de picture?

[soccerman]

Like Sam still celebrating the win, we ain get his report/rating yet and is almost noon!

[100% Barataria]

Probably doing some plumbing 

[Peong]

The captain put his foot through that ball boy.

[Tallman]

Primus has been injured for de better part of two years. Since de 2013 OSN Cup in Saudi Arabia, he has probably played about two competitive matches. I heard that he may sign with St. Ann's Rangers this season.

[Tallman]

Where did Hoyte play , middle with Abu ?

No, he played right back.

Thank you, sir.

No, he played right back.

begs the question, who seemed more effective Justin or Gavin ? of course, in your opinion.

Justin is more effective, but then again he is more experienced overall, and he's had more time in Hart's setup, so he's more aware of his role.

we actually do have three very good back ups for bateau, aubrey david who could play anywhere in defense. in fact he played as a central defender in the caribbean cup final against jamaica last november where he held down speed stars like mc annuff and mattocks and in my point of view he is more effective in that position than mitchell who was suspended for the game and seldon who tends to lose concentration at times.

then we have marshall, he may not be as good as bateau, but he does have some quality in this capacity. then finally we have caryle mitchell who just came off an injury, and i would think by january mitchell would be fit and ready to go.

The captain put his foot through that ball boy.

Absolutely.

(Somewhat lost in the comments is Glenn's decision to lay the ball off for KJ, rather than to attempt to penetrate on his own).

That decision, and the quality of the pass, influenced KJ's "decision" to shoot without taking an additional touch. Both decisions, and the quality of KJ's strike, bought the timing to beat Penedo.

The goal came at a critical moment to deflate what was rising Panamanian confidence.

Off the pitch, it registered with the  many young Panamanian players that hold him in high esteem. Here's a T&T player that is a point of reference for Panama's U16 JNT players. Quite an interesting dynamic.

Classy goal, yes the backheel was very well done and made the room for the shot.

[asylumseeker]

Someone posted Cyrus should play at defensive mid. Would like to hear more on this. At the moment, it is inconvenient to locate the post.
