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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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.
I believe we have the blueprint for world cup qualification. Rene Simoes did it in the 98 campaign. What I saw in that team was a good mix of local and overseas talent. Local players had that Jamaican flare, that reggae rhythm, that swag. Overseas players with the work ethic, that professional experience. That lend itself to that perfect marriage. We saw a bit of that when Kaheim entered the field of play. That belief, that nobody nuh betta dan we. Prior to that it was very robotic and predictable. At the start of the second half we showed belief and got the ascendancy. In came the changes and we conceded and Mexico took charge of the game from there. Shamar works very hard but in transition, the play most if not all the time, break down with him. We need to get back to those days when we were less predictable.
* 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.
The Coach is a reflection of where the MINDSET of Jamaicans were when he got hired? Some people look at the CONFIDENCE of Jamaicans and think that we are too arrogant. They can't relate to that "we likkle but wi tallawah" Energy. Unfortunately many "leaders" in Jamaica can't see value in home built Jamaicans from the JPL even when the Energy is pointing us in that direction. We are fighting inner "second-class mentality" issues that is manifesting in our football. We need a good African coach with big league experience That coach should be spiritually connected as should the leadership in our JFF. We are too out of touch with the ENERGIES of the times
Totally agree, the team seem out of sync when we on the attack. Miss touches and control. Defense was solid and when some don't break it don't need fix.
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.
Can't believe the man made defensive changes when we needed the win its our first game go all out on the strongest team and then think about the rest abweh this yah coach a see
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 understand what you are saying. Especially for cephas , but he went with the two big body strikers to try to man handle the Mexican defenders but the issue was the substitutions and the disorganized set right after which led to the goal , no one in the middle to protect the back line , very obvious that there was confusion on the field . Needed time to set the plan and the set up of individual positions.
I agree with you the coach seems like him accept defeat even before the game started him take too long to make the changes how you be behind the game and afraid to make changes what are you afraid of
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.
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 coaches method is working. We have been more competitive than ever before. We haven't played the top Concacaf teams this close until recently. We played a good on Saturday. Kasey Palmer looks to be getting more comfortable playing for Jamaica. It was his best game. Bobby Reid did well in the midfield until he got tired in the end and allowed the Mexican an uncontested shot. And the squad looks like we won't have to depend on anyone player.Overall we are on the right track under coach Hallgrimmson. Lets support the coach. The coach has outlined his approach to the Copa and we should support him. There are a lot of positives to see.
Sometimes Oral, coaches in Europe usually praise the opposing team to throw them off so that you can have an advantage in this case it was to let them underestimate the opponent. Sometimes it works sometimes it don't.
On point commentary;coach fi jus believe in Dixon jus like how the real top teams in the world trust dem 19 yr players that show the attitude he showin caz he is the future.Mexico”s game plan was to just kick some wild shots til one go een and it was enough. Bowza was so tired as well n coach av the man on field kicking free kicks out the stadium
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Waite and Lembisika were our best players
Yes 👍🏽
No one really played bad. It was a good all round shift from the Boyz
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 .
Facts👆
So true
This youth has a natural understanding of football. Give the young youths a chance and allow them to grow...
Tactical ineptitude! We need a coach! 100% right! The coach remains clueless after halftime.
Is it Dixon's "SECRET"....or his STRENGTH?
For the first time in a long while I believe we should have won that match
Kudos to goalkeeper Waite. He did a good job.
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.
That is why I like this youth the energy him bring on the pitch
Dixon is definitely a Maroon, energy on point. Pinnock and Waite play very good too.
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.
He shouldn’t have started
Dexter Lembikisa looks like a EPL starting wing back 🙌🏾👍🏾
Our best player last night 😎
Think I was watching the wrong match. Defensively to me he was very poor
Agreed
@@odanemarston5198 You are just delusional
@@odanemarston5198. you definitely was
AS THE SAYING GOES, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR.
You absolutely right I think that little young man look like the best player on the field

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.
Maverick you are so correct about this coach.
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…
I was deeply hurt with the result....I really think we could have won this match
Didn't u see it was a training 😂s3ssion for Mexico
@@robertlindsay7206 if thats the case Mexico sucks
I was there last night and I totally agree with you. Jamaica should have won The goalkeeper did a wonderful job.
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 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
Dixon is NOT given a role such as attack and defend. The coach just tells him to play. The other players have roles.
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.
I really hope we do qualify.
They need to search for a midfielder who is a ball handler like tappa wen we do our firepower will give we fireworks but not until
Brilliant ❤
The should have keep magee on the team no matter what groom him or we use ravel to help us out in the middle
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.

Am gutted 😢by the way we lost really didn’t see the need for any defensive changes
Exactly bossy. Didnt see the need take thay type of defensive change. Change the fire power up front and keep on the pressure.
* 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.

If the Maverick say so.....a so it go😂step
Yes we always a get late goals from U.S.A and then that always change the the game...
Yuh knw how long me a wait on ur review kmt
Kahiem Dixon hungry Maverick.
Up an running mr maverick
You are correct Maverick ... We have a tendency to concede late goals ... I was expecting a 2-1 win in favour of 🇯🇲
Agree
Remember he is of a different culture
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.
Agree 100%
Kmt him a give opponent too much respect fr
Thank you same way so
Coach get blamed already 😂😂
Dixon hard working..the man hungry...on have a heart for the of football..can't them ten minutes
The coach nuh ready at all.
We Jamaican ask the coach wwh cause the reason of the defender changes
I swear him nuh knw either

Jamaica start playing for a draw 65min out. Bad move.
I agree. The changes by the coach were pointless, unless the players had minutes restriction due to injury or something.
Entire team play well
We need a aggressive coach
Lembikisa was the man 😎👍🏽
Coach got it wrong let’s hope we don’t see the same mistake again and move on to the next opponent 🙌🏾👍🏾🇯🇲
I agree with you the coach seems like him accept defeat even before the game started him take too long to make the changes how you be behind the game and afraid to make changes what are you afraid of
Want to see K. Dixon more minutes on the field.
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.
Dixon need someone like him To play up top with
Which coach is good enough to take us to take us to next level? How long are looking for coach now??
The coach star struck. He making decisions based on name brand and not how the players play.
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
He also made a mistake by making 3 changes at once that should never be..
Dixon need to start with either Bozer or Antonio
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Real talk suh
That is facts Maverick kmt
Dixion= Modern Sir Blakka Boyd….Start him next game…..
Fava him to.

If we ca find one or two good midfielders and play dixon as a top link then we can score a lot of goals.
This is why Bulter and Bailey can have so much talk. Hopefully, the Reggae Boyz can tighten things up and get better.
no butt round heree
We need ravel Bailey and Hutchinson
Tbh the team played well except for the changes that costed us the game but the coach need time.
The older players are already in the European box; Dixon is young and not spoiled yet.
This has been the poorest Mexico team we’ve seen in years so based on that fact you should judge how bad Jamaica is
This Mexico team go down 3-2 to big bad Brazil thou so I guess Brazil no good then.
