Con­grat­u­la­tions to Levi Gar­cia on ty­ing the knot with his part­ner, may God bless you both to in­fin­i­ty and be­yond. Not sur­prised at the loss to the USA, it was com­ing, I and for­mer na­tion­al de­fend­er Bri­an Williams saw it com­ing.

Shock­ing per­for­mance by the whole team. I thought Mar­vin Phillip was re­tired? The guy is 40, he’s not no Gi­an­lui­gi Buf­fon! He looked slow, got beat­en at his near post twice, over­weight, poor re­ac­tion time, he should’ve saved three out of the five goals con­ced­ed.

Why is Den­zil Smith not play­ing? I thought Kevin Moli­no was re­tired? Moli­no is out of gas; he can’t lead the press all the time. Why are we bring­ing on Jo­evin Jones as a mid­field­er? Shel­don Bateau is out of gas, poor de­fend­ing from him, show the wingers the line, close down at­tack­ers like your life de­pends on it. Jeezan­ages!

Nat­ty (Nathaniel) James was the on­ly pos­i­tive in that game. Tenac­i­ty, lead­ing the press, and cre­at­ing that space in the pock­et, that’s what need from the for­wards. No legs in mid­field, no width, no depth from the for­ward line.

For God’s sake, we know we are be­ing pressed when try­ing to play out from the back, go long! Now don’t tell me about play­ing on a 4G turf, be­cause the ma­jor­i­ty of them play over­seas on those sur­faces. Any­time, we got the ball, USA play­ers were clos­ing us down, block­ing pass­ing lanes, go­ing long to get a breather and they didn’t have a full-strength team ei­ther.

When is a good time for play­ers to make their de­buts? How will play­ers get ex­pe­ri­ence? Get John Paul Rochford in the No 10, Justin Sadoo in the six, legs, track­ing back and cre­ativ­i­ty in mid­field. Re­on Moore has such a great record against the USA, why isn’t he or Brent Sam lead­ing the line? For God’s sake, why can’t (Dwight) Yorke use his Man Unit­ed clout and get Jadon San­cho to play for his true home?
