Demari Grey hasn't play football for like three months he's rusty one of our problem we still haven't found a midfield in the vein of Theodore Whitmore. Demari should have been off he hasn't play no competitive football for a while Cephas should have replace him.
* That back 4 was as solid as the rock of Gibraltar. * I cant understand why he made that change. Make it make sense🤔. But as you say, alot of positives from the game.
Jamaica is going to the world cup.I think they play very well.I would love to see Dixon and Antonio up front.Bring on Shamar about 25mins left in the second half.
Sometimes when Maverick talks, it sounds like he has an agenda. Because I want to believe that he is more knowledgeable about the game than this. How can you criticize Gray and Antonio, who were by far, our two best players in that game. Dixon looked good and I’m excited to see what he does in the future but coming on in the last 10 minutes to take on defenders with tired legs is easier than the shift Gray and Antonio put in. Nicholson had really bad game, he lost possession numerous times, did not win a single ball in the air, and did not do any hold up play to ease the pressure. His decision making yesterday was not the best. I like him and I’m not bashing him because I think he could be a key player for the team but I don’t understand how or why you didn’t mention him when criticizing players? It’s strange that Maverick would over look that to level criticism at Antonio after the work he did for us. I agree with you that two number 9s on the field does not make sense. He should start Antonio and if we aren’t getting anything from him switch in the 60th to 70th minute. Maverick, you should be criticizing the players for not rewarding Antonio with a ball in a position to score. A true number 9 needs service! I also agree with you on the coaches decision making and substitution. I don’t understand what he’s doing. It felt like he was trying to give everybody a run, which would have been fi fine in a friendly but not for a tournament.
Sir Mav, Im extremely disappointed that Chephas didnt start. Although we played well and certainly could have won the match the Coach could have started Chephas over Nicholson on the right wing. Then if Gray wasnt on point then switch Chephas back to left wing and bring on Dixon. Nicholson and Antonio could have been swapped for one another.Also Waite, Pinnock and Libisika were fantastic defensively. Oh and keep Damian Lowe on the bench. He is far too flat footed when we are are in possession of the ball.
Nothing about 'youthful exuberance' Oral. People must learn to accept the fact that Dixon is simply a one of a kind. Whittemore, Bibi, or Hector Wright would have looked that way in their young age. Not many others would. This kid is like a new Walther Boyd...maybe history repeating itself and we going to the world cup.
Jamaica team is a picked up team..it's clearly these guys don't spended much time together ..yuh see why i don't wrong Leon Bailey for not playing.. it's either the coach nuh good or the team just don't have no chemistry!
I don’t want to hear anything about tactics or coaching problems. The fact is these players do not have the talent to compete on this level. There is a basic lack of fundamental football skills that are missing from these players. Simple passing and controlling are non existent in this squad. The solution is to start at the youth level in proper fundamentals. In foreign countries kids start training in academies from an early age and this eduction in football is continuous. Start from now with the next generation as the system needs a complete overall.
I'm so happy that Leon Bailey never played. Now these so called fans are all over the place trying to find a scapegoat and are unable to do so.😂😂😅😅 Them no have much football knowledge so them ever a target the superstar.
Antonio played very pacey and skilful to me, he was our more attack minded player, he was overworked because he had to drop back into defence too often to pick up the ball.
#Pinnock on the back line was like a rock......#Nicholson should have been off the field for Dixon longtime!!! ........the midfield is still lacking creativity!!!!
The majority of costa ricas team plays local football in costa rica and brazil couldnt beat them, so it proves that playin overseas doesnt validate dat you’re the better player, only jamaica alone cant pick a local base squad to play international games and competition, jamaica need players to start getting contracts in mexico brazil spain etc, because players from mls, usl, and england obviously dont watch football outside of their region.. the majority of costa ricas teams plays for saprissa, alajuelense, and herediano…… dont understand how so much players pon jamaica team with epl experience cant beat players that plays locally for mexico, only 8 players on the mexican team plays overseas. And only 4 players on the jamaican team plays locally…. Jamaica aint going to world cup. Playin this kind of football
Dixon's secret is his off the ball running. His understanding of the game is beyond his years. People criticized Raheem Sterling for missing chances, but they ignore the fact that when he is on the field there will be chances. Like Sterling, Kaheem Dixon will help Jamaica create many chances .
I was at the game last night and Jamaica should have won that game. Dixon was excellent and he played with a lot of passion. The more senior players should look at the Dixon. Cephas and Dixon should have started the second half. Our goalie was excellent. When all is said and done we should have beaten Mexico. Their goalie was shaky.
Dixon should sub on about 60 add mins…When he came on the spirit and the drive was direct for him to get a goal and evenly draw the game or better more put the game 2:1…
Always said it In my humble opinion Dixon is a better prospect than Whisper.... Whisper is more pro ready due to his Phoenix background but Dixon just seems to have that natural "it" factor
Why do we have to compare them like that? Why can’t we be grateful that we are seeing special generation emerge? Why does it have to be one over the other? Both are special talent. Hope they both go on to shine for the national team and major clubs. Would love to see some Jamaicans in Real Madrid and Inter Milan
You and others been cussing every coach for the past 20 or 30 years. You as a mere spectator with zero coaching and playing experience think you know more than these trained and experienced professionals. If you play against a team with much better players, chances are they will beat you 9 out of 10 times. you keep hoping for that 10 percent and complain when it doesnt happen. How many Jamaican players could make that Mexico team. May be three ??

The Boyz left me gasping for breath the way they played The Dominican Republic and Dominica. In fact, I expected Mexico to trash us so escaping with a near win is a big improvement. The game against Mexico was a Ventilator even though it was one loss vs three straight ugly wins. Of course there were errors on the coach’s part but why are you taking out years of frustration on this guy when the bigger problem is 26 year of a football culture of disaster headed by the JFF. Stick to Wishful Thinking instead of Big Hopes. Except for Rene Simoes, you guys tore down all the coaches that set foot in Jamaica. Call up Butler! 😆 LOL
Maverick everything you said is spot on.My observation over the years and nobody can't seem to get it right...When are we gonna be able to play possession football over long periods..as soon as we get possession we give it right back to the opposition.We always seems to be lost the final third of the field,always attacking in isolation not with numbers.This is my very first time seeing Dixon play and it was for no more than 10 mins and I was impressed.I don't know who he should replace and honestly I don't really care but one thing I know he should start the next game..let us see if the coach will have the balls to make that move like when Rene Simones made that bold move and started then school boy Bibi Gardener over some veterans.
Yes the coache press conference was poor. I didn't like how he sounded like he conceded to Mexico. And at the post match after a lost. I saw him smiling as he came to the podium.Smh. And we conceded a lot of late goals after changes were made in the game. I don't believe we're making the right changes
The defense played well, kacey palmer played alright but he takes too long to pass the ball, i am convinced that jamaican players(midfielders) neva use to watch xavi and iniesta.. dont understand how a group of players that were born and played for england(und21) dont ave any chemistry at all, costa rica, haita, and panama are playing good football. And despite playing good against canada lowe is a midfielder, and honestly bobby reid is jamaicas worst number 10 ever.
David Daye Thanks for the coverage and still support the coach. The experience was good for Jamaica. I believe the goal against Ecuador is our first in Copa America 2024.
We have the team to beat Mexico now. We should never have Shamar Nicholson and Antonio on the team at the same time. Start Dickson or what's his name Sephas that is speedy? Dickson shows up the coach's cowardly errors. This is what Renee Semoes have over a lot of coaches. Two finisher at the same time, we needed one with some speed or creativity 😢😢 you know what that's gone. Let's move on.
Maverick you are so critical. We have to play who we have and they are not worldclass players. But again mouth can say anything . Your opinion is just an opinion. Mexico is much better than us. They have a structured program. We barely have a side
Exactly,Jamaica is recruiting players who England discarded.If they had all the potential to influence the Jamaican National teams outcome they would be good enough to represent England.
@@dantez2430 that’s a lie OUR JAMAICAN PLAYERS run Mexico ragged in the Gold Cup… in Mexico City… in Kingston… you name the venue. You are lying you are lying
Me nuh like how maverick a say wah me a say fi over a year. Me watch all the teams in this region from aruba to french guinea cayman island all a dem mexico me know every team strength and weakness. Coach a idiot need fi get fired him nuh have no tactics lucky me cudnt get thru fi question him pon explosion oda day
This was an inferior inferior Mexican to team compared to previous squads, coach started to think about not losing at nil nil late instead of going for the win.... His substitutions shows his mindset which is not good for the team, your telling you're players basically that you don't think they're good enough to win the game..
3:53 I agree with this. Why play two number 9 at the same time? So, you have a winger and two 9's. And? Where is the attacking midfielder? Bobby Reid and Kasey Palmer is coming deep to pick up from from the defence, then who transitions to the 9's and the winger, Gray?
The coach gotta go. I’ll give you two issues. 1. Can’t play Nicholson and Antonio at the same time. 2. You cannot have 2 midfielders fighting in the middle against a central or South American team. You have to overload the middle to create a tactical balance. This means you can’t play with 2 #9s. You need a midfield diamond or a #10 who will work defensively. Bonus: Hitting long balls straight over the top is so ancient and European. We can’t win like that.
My brother, I live in the USA for 24 years . Jamaica doesn’t have a talent or how you are analyzing the game problem. The problem starts from the head and I’ve been saying that since I’ve been living in Jamaica from I was 18 years old, when I picked it up, Jamaicans are indiscipline Black people don’t understand business. It’s not only about talent, but it’s about the MINDSET … Renay Semow did things and that how you have to do it discipline from the head all the way down to the ball boys no vision no discipline no that is it so you can talk till you’re blue. How long you been talking about the same thing what his dad is saying is what we need to try something different you hear talking and being very funny is all good and well, but that’s not going to help Jamaica to win any games Much less going to the World Cup discipline discipline discipline discipline from the head to the bottom Two words beside discipline is the answer in this moment Leon and Buckler is the answer. These guys know what it takes. No one else give them a chance. And make sure to consult with Renay Samoy if he still alive that is it.
Grimson grim breda. Grim grim grim. As a coach he is not sounding positive, confident and sure about anything at all. How I would describe the coach based on his mannerisms and his approach to football is slightly optimistic, too cautious and highly conservative and restraint. I don't get a feeling of boldness, confidence, and an outwardly optimistic vibe about him. He's almost passive. I want a David and Goliath vibe and confidence displayed even in the face of adversity. Coach, better yuh gwaan bad and bold and win than humble, bumble and stumble.
Great analysis Maverick. The coach doesn't believe in the team's potential! Jamaica should have won the game! Poor strategical and tactical approaches by the coach.
I did not see the game so will not comment about the coach. However, from the comments it seems like he made some errors. All in all, I lament that after all these years Jamaica has no playing style. Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, USA etc. have a playing style/system. We have none. Regardless of which players come they should fit into our system. In fact, we should choose players to fit our playing philosophy. Until we develop that it will always be a hit and miss approach.
To be honest Mexico 🇲🇽 is better than us from day one, but we wish Jamaica did win , our forwards need start taking on defender let them fold u win free kicks, what makes R9 Ronaldinho Messi CR7 Maradona Pele Walter Boyd special?, take it to the opinion
The coach is coward and he is stubborn. It’s an obvious Antonio and Shamar does not work together ( he has tried it before)Just play Shamar on form and let Antonio earn back the starting spot (fraud to bench the big baller from England). Didn’t watch the game but it’s obvious this was a problem based on comments. The coach is too conservative ( I hated this about white more. not much difference between the two to be honest) and I don’t like it but I’ve learn to accept it. Just hoping they qualify but not expecting expansive entertaining football. Coach dull defensive and he doesn’t do anything a tactical that impresses me ( maybe the one game he loved Lowe to midfield against Canada)
People blaming ANTONIO for not scoring, he playing centre forward for west ham and coach playing him winger for jamaica, at times coming deep for the ball because coach tactics is crop, no midfield supporting our attackers, long ball long ball and hoping our attacking players get a chance kmt look at Dominica game for example garbage football
Dont undermine Bowza is the most productive attacker…1Shamar Nicholson …Dixon issa great game changer just needs fitness n strength in due time Edit: too many gaps in the midfield, the kick n run ting nuh really mek it
Yow, Maverick leave the coach alone. We need a confident Maestro midfielder of the likes of Tappa, Ravel and such. The midfielders were afraid to hold the ball and bounce it.Yow Jamaica got the better chances especially in the first half. The guy are simply afraid to hold the damn ball. They should look ar it like driving, when the ball comes to you you are in control. Just leave the coach alone and the players needs to convert their chances. Football now is whichever team scores wins. No more elite team, finally there is equilibrium amongst all teams. Any team can beat any team
Where is raffique bryan..where shevon stewart......jamaica nah use dem great baller dem....Jamaica staff need to fix up them self and maybe bailey come back cause aleast we know he would bring a great impact on the team
Jamaica play football like the middle of the field doesnt exist. How should that work? Whats the difference between this coach and tappa? JFF got tricked again.
The coach cost us the game. Can't make 3 defensive changes in that moment. Ceapus, Dixon and Lowe were the changes I thought was going to be the first 3 changes base on the game situation. We don't manage the last 10 min of games properly
Watching them playing looks like coach blunder, they lose the ball too often ,not given themselves room,and not attacking the mexican in possesion of tha ball. All coach errors!
I wasn’t expecting JM to win and was surprised that they didn’t concede earlier as MX was all over us. They are much quicker on and off the ball, defend in pairs and are close to the ball. We on the other hand have 5 at the back, play at least 20 feet from each other in attack and Antonio even when he catches the ball has no help up front so has to hold up the play. Our te is really built to defend or score on a set play but even out few corners were poor. It was painful to watch as after two years or almost with this coach I still don’t see a useful style / philosophy and I hate the Long balls like England where Pickford kicks out to Kane
You are so right, we continue to concede goals just before half time and had fully time. Check the last 2 years when we play these big team. Agree with you
The coach is waste!!!!!!….. and in his after match interviews him don’t tek accountability, he rather to criticize the team and their short falls and don’t realize that a him cause it!!! Waste man coach, him need to get fire and use a local coach
How can a team down 1 goal and yet still you have a 5 man back line when you should should changed the formation and play more of a attacking game instead of parking the bus when already down
Senior players are not hungry to play their hearts out for Ja, and as such they play base on what they are paid. Dixon is young and hungry to make his mark.
without a doubt the young boy dixon let the seanor players look like they are the juniors , The players seem like they are afraid to hold or receive a ball close to a Mexican player none of our players have the confidence to hold up a ball and make a timely pass most of the passes are rush and off target this player with the dreads and African name he a very good defensive player but going forward he cant pass a ball to a player, most of these players need a month practising to control and hold the ball under presure
Dixon started against Dominica and look very average , that’s the reason for a super sub to come on and bring life in the game , he is not exposing no senior players that was a good Mexico team
Mavrick why adopt merican jurnalust who no know di game sayin when you win di ball how yu a go wind aball qhen another sywr pass di ball ti yu or yu tackle an get di ball
