Haiti Beat the Netherlands Antilles luckily , now we have to take things seriously . I have not writen for so long concerning this subject (national team).I'm Frustrated about how things are going .Since Jan 1st 2008 until now the team has played 13 Games including the one yesterday and we have not won ONE on our Own(N.A Scored an Owned Goal).
The Team is not as good as we think Guys we have all kind of Problems.
Goalies
I Think we have to think about who we put between the Sticks during Game.Fenelon is not a bad Keeper but he is not our best Choice , i feel more Comfortable with PLACIDE on the Goal.Placide has better Position , reaction, agility .Which are really important for a goalie now Days.
Defense
Our Defense is the most Improved part of our Football in this new Era ,i think we progress alot and the Chanpionship we won last year was mainly because of the Defense (i can't really get into it right now).But the 4 defenders is not the best Choice for us , Simply because Bruny has to be on the field .Bruny don't get me wrong is getting better and better , good in the air , good lecture, good position, and firm as a rock ...thos traits defines clearly what a defender must have .Notice i didn't say SPEED,Bruny is Getting Old we Can't afford to match him with a Jorge Borgetti (Mex),Ruiz(Guatemala),Suazo(Hon),Donovan(Usa), he wiill get beat and we will surfer.
In My Opinion the best thing t do is to play with 5 defenders,
one sweeper (SW)(Bruny)for all those reasons i stated year , plus being a sweeper give him a little bit of time to rest which will help with his age.Two Central Defenders (CD) , Jean Jacques Pierre(no Comments),Meshack Jerome (he's progressing really fast and i think he can provide a little youth in the defense).
Right Back , Aveska Judelin , very Good Marking and young enough to match with some of the best Wingers in the Concacaf, the only thing he doesn't go forward enough and this is due to his central defender mentality .But he doesn't need to go too far high , just at the median will be fine .
Left Back Frantz Gilles is the Best Choice so far , but a frant Bertin , Fellinga , can help a little if the Train Hard enough to play it , again we only need them to go as high as the median lane.
Midfielders Defensive Mid, as af this moment Mones Chery , there is no one else i can think of , he's is in great form right now.
Offensive MidIn my Opinion we don't have anybody that's good enough to carry the load , but Bourcicaut can do it , not fully just half of the job , while coordinating with Mones , as simple as possible.Since Our Backs are not gonna go high we need to play with two Wingers , Alcenat (Indiscutable)on the Right and Brunel on the Left with minimal responsabilities , because of his physical conditions. A Fabrice Noel should help also.
Forward
Although he is injured , we don't have a better option then Pegero Jean Phillipe, the bigest problem of our forwards is finishing ,we can't finish an action.In the modern era a full attack is always finish by a shot on goal , which would probably result in a goal, corner , a ball bounced back etc.
a 5-4-1 is the best choice for us because we can't afford to let the other team score firts , we tend to give up and made more mistakes when we are trailling,but i we score first the moral is automaticaly boosted and also we are more likely to keep the score then to loose it.
