Not to be..Nigeria win it but Boyz did well and much better than I
thought they would. The future does not look that bad with this new
coach.
Nice game. Congrats Africa

Cephas and Dixon.
Local talent.
Ages 25 and 20 respectively.
Both played for Arnett Gardens.
Just saying.

Are you going to mention "local talent" Atkinson who missed the penalty to give Nigeria the win?
We seriously need to grow up!

Not sure why you are throwing a fit, because it wasn't even meant for you.
It was aimed at granite who keeps bringing up Jamaican Brits this and that.
What exactly are your personal issues? I'm unaware of them.

Jamaica played a decent game, however, there are glaring weaknesses which will be exploited by good teams. Nigeria saw in the T'dad game that our wing backs play compact relative to our center backs and attacked our flanks especially the right side of the defense.
My grades are based strictly on regulation play and not the penalty shoot-out.
GK : DAVIS (7) - had a rebound game and today showed in Blake's absence we can expect decent showing from the net minding position.
RB : LEMBIKISA (6) - was exploited by the Nigerians as he was the target of their first half attacks. He received little to no help from the right side of the Jamaican offensive outfit. More on that later.
CB : HOLGATE (7) - had perhaps his best game for Jamaica. He is a nice piece to have in reserve.
CB : KING (8.5) - simply outstanding. He has earned the right to partner Pinnock in central defense. He might just have also earned himself a contract out of Jamaica. His pass for Jamaica's first goal was a gem.
LB : BELL (7) - was not attacked as much with the right side being the Nigerian focus, plus, Cephas admirably came back to help. He yields too much space to attackers.
CDM : HAYDEN (8 ) - a general whose timely tackle and movement in space foiled many attacks down the middle.
CAM : PALMER (6) - made three (yes I counted them) fine passes. Beyond that he (a) seldom tackles (b) has no spatial awareness (c ) backs off when "defending" giving Nigeria acres of space to mount their attacks; by the way he backs-off not to tackle he does it just to do it. HE IS A LIABILITY!
M : RUSSELL (7) - positioned well to score our second equalizer. A bit too clumsy for my liking, however, he gives effort.
RW : DIXON (6.5) - talent, however, he is just not ready at this level and need to spend time in the gym/kitchen. He was of no value to Lembikisa in defense. Scored a timely goal to keep the game in the balance.
F : BURRELL (6.5) - a much more difficult game for him as he sniffed no chances, however, he showed industry during his stay on the field.
LW : CEPHAS (8.5) - a Nigerian nightmare who was involved in both goals. Gray cannot start over this player who may have played his way into a better European league.
SUBSTITUTIONS
RB : MING (6.5) - Must learn to release the forwards when the opportunity present itself. Just the same, he held up well in his major international debut. He deserves a stay on the national team.
RW : MOTHERSILL - hard to grade when he was not a part of the action. Wish he had more time on the field.
F : ATKINSON (6.5) - was most effective in defense, in fact he helped Ming much better than Dixon did for Lembikisa.
CAM: MORRISON - hard to grade when he was not on the field for long. Just the same, his generalship was on display.
F : BROWN - hard to grade when he was not on the field for long.

Not based on that reply!
If you want to throw fit over the merits of local vs foreign talent, take it up with those you have been fighting with on that.
I am one of those who has always said to pick the best players regardless of where they were born and grew up.

Boss, never intended to personally attack you.
Your post didn't show a reply so I interpreted it as a general statement.
Apologies if you felt offended.

Fair assessment overall ..however you were a bit generous with your praise for Davis as I thought he didn’t inspire confidence and was very uncertain…the rest of the ratings were spot on…
I think Dixon was a bit rash and seems to have been at fault for the 2nd goal by trying to dribble and losing possession in the defensive third ..a costly mistake..
He does have talent but needs more time to develop…he made some good passes early in the game which shows he’s slowly learning…
Cephas was my MOM and gave the scouts something to think about

Best game from Jamaica in a long time. Fluent and attacking.
Team did not miss Leon Bailey.
The left winger Cephas (?) is a live wire (is he a UB40 ?). He gave the Super Eagles hell with pace and skill. He was Yardies MVP by a long way.
Exciting and enjoyable game of footie.

Excellent as always - Dixon should have been taken off at the end of the first half! Morrison should have been given a longer run!
