I am not happy with the play in the final 1/3 going forward. We seem to break down or just waste the passes. Austin, Gardner Johnson and Ricketts having good games
Not a bad half, we looked decent a few minor changes and we should take this game .
Shelton out for one. and switch the ref he's a fool biased too , where the hell did he come from . we are not using phillips effectively, he's pretty much free on the left all the time but the ball always ends up with Johnson on the right wing who tends to do too much with it, allowing the Canadians to get back in position .
You must be reading my mind, i was thinking the same thing

Not sure why we are playing down to Canada's level. Shelton no ready, as usual cant control and passing way off, when he does pass.. Johnson is a clown, deserved the yellow.
Still waiting to see some crosses whipped in across the Canadian goal, unless the game plan is to walk into their goal down the middle.
it's clear JA more talented but tactical awareness needs improvement. Whitmaore should have had most of his starting team in training together more so than having locals playing practice matches against Cayman.
You can see that the team lacks coehsiveness; that is due to a lack of the team training together before a tourney.

True. The guys are working hard all over the pitch though. They are not giving up as much space as we are used to seeing and are challenging for every ball. There have been a few mistakes in the back but generally pretty solid. Good possession but as you say once they get near the goal they run out of ideas or just fail to execute. Disappointing effort by Gardner on our first chance of the game, Johnson followed with a good effort before taking too long then taking a bit of a dive in the area. But let´s hope they can keep up the pressing all over the field as they have in the first half.
The first half was not bad but we are showing no composure in the final third. I cannot see why all our attackers want to go down the middle of the Canadian defense. What happen to us using our speed on the flanks? Jermaine running at them but he needs to let go of the ball a little earlier. Fuller and Shelton not setting the place ablaze as a combo at the moment and I think Shelton is having the better of play between the two. Jason Morrison not having a bad game and the defensive players doing a decent job thus far.
For the second half we need to make better use of the flanks and support the player on the ball more. With that being said, the attackers need to spend a little less time on the ball. Our off the ball movement in the attacking half needs to be improved. We need to get something out of this game and finish the game with 11 players on the field. We got three yellows that could have been avoided.

We need to stop playing players based on name especially shelton , during the build up to the cup the local guys were scoring and he was not , now i see why he was not scoring. his decisions are outrageously stupid and he looks too wild with the ball forcing to get it done by himself when he does not possess the close control required to pull it off.
