T&T did good for a team that played with 5 players (Andrews, Jack, Lawrence, Birchall and Avery).
 Honduras never gave us a chance to settle in and Panama will be gunning for us especially since they beat group favorites Colombia, so the road will not be easy. I am disappointed with the way our team played and the coaches decision to continue to play players out of position, very poor indeed. We should consider ourselves lucky to even come away with one point. I wouldn't be to harsh on how the team played though as this was their first game since the last encounter with Mexico. T&T lacked rhythm and, at one time interest in the game, maybe a lack off fitness was at fault ? On a positive note, the team should get better as the tournament progresses. At-times they show glimpses of what they are capable of doing.

In a nut-shell:

Kelvin JACK: Had an out-standing game, left for dead many times and came up big, Jack justified his pick.

Cyd GRAY: Give his marker to much space, seems capable of playing the right wing better than the right defense. Hopefully Atiba Charles will be back.

Marvin ANDREWS: Had an ok game, made one or two simple mistakes, but worked hard and made up.

Dennis LAWRENCE: Seems he love to make runs forwards, many times he try to make one/two exchange passes with other players but never got the return pass, did his job well in defense.

Avery JOHN: Like Gray, give his marker to much space at times, but did better than Gray defensive wise, seems frustrated at times as no one was there for the pass or throw-in.

Brent RAHIM: Had terrible first half, looked much better in the second, Carlos was missed, Rahim, like Theobald are central midfielders.

Aurtis WHITLEY: I don't think he is cut out to be a defensive midfielder. His tackles is very in-discipline.

Christopher BIRCHALL: Started slow, but made up, by far he seems the best midfielder on the team and the only player who isn't afraid to shoot the ball, Samuel apart. Oh yea, what a wicked goal, a top 10 nominee.

Densill THEOBALD: Why is Beenhakker continuing to use him on the left wing, had a terrible game but unlike Stern John, he did make one or two tackles that made up for his poor run forward. Our two wing backs Rahim and Theobald was killing our defense as they didn't help defend to often that caused Gray and Avery to commit them selves leaving Andrews and Lawrence to bite the bullet and in the process leaving tons of space in defense.

Jason SCOTLAND: Made one or two important tackles, lay off the ball well, needs to take his chances on goal and taking on defenders, in fact shoot more. I expected more seeing that he is desperate to break into the T&T team.

Stern JOHN: There is no words to describe Stern John, seems he forgot how to play football. He made one good pass in the whole game and miss a sitter with the goal keeper at his mercy. Didn't show leader qualities at all, should be scraped of his captaincy and replaced by Angus Eve in the final 18 if he continues to perform so poorly. I cant understand this out-of-form John is showing, his overall performance is sickening, he should have been subbed for Glen for the entire second half.

Kenwyne JONES: Did nothing much to help out, except for one or two headers that went a-stray. For a big built person those Honduras players was surely roughing him up.

Collin Samuel: Looked impressive and should replace Theobald on the left, had a fierce shot that rocked the woodwork. He should have also gotten a penalty.
