 We'll come back to the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex. Reynef and Jamaica Premier League action on this Monday afternoon between Veer United and Waterhouse. We get ready for the recent head-to-head. Of course, this kickster has been rather one-sided, Waterhouse getting the better of Veer United on so many occasions. We start from the bottom, Waterhouse 2-0 and 1-0 winners in that season. They also did the double over Veer 1-0 and 2-1 and this season in November. 4-1 winners over Veer where Javien Brown, the player to watch, had a hat-trick in that encounter. Jahim Gorman rounded it off and only Brown, Javien Brown, got in getting the consolation for Veer United. That's the recent head-to-head. Yeah, Waterhouse as they are affectionately called. Firehouse as well, expecting to continue on what has been a one-sided tilt in their favor. We go all the way back to 2016 for the only time in the league that Veer United would have exacted some dominance over Waterhouse and that was a 1-0 win, 3-0 a big apart win. So that's some 70 years ago and yeah, Veer hasn't really had their number whatsoever. The shot of the substitutes for Veer United in 10th position in the table at the moment and having ambitions I'm sure of climbing up in the table where they must break the streak of not scoring 400 minutes without scoring a goal. They had an own goal in all of those minutes but that won't count, put it. Dean Smith, your commentator, with me, Christopher Taylor and Chris, more of the same should we expect or can there be something changed? Yeah, I think they are heading in the wrong direction in the table when you look at them. 10th currently just 5 wins from 17 but 4 losses in their last 5 games and that must be really disturbing for Linva Dixon as he said, conceding needless goals. I think their confidence is really low and then as you said when you look in this fixture 2016 when they were under the name Jamalco, the last time they executed a win, that 3-0 win. Since that, no wins at all, 9 wins to Waterhouse and 2 draws as well. So this is a fixture that Waterhouse will come in here with a lot of confidence even though they themselves have had mixed results over the last few weeks, only 2 wins in their last 5 matches up and down, there have been some losses and some draws in there as well. So, not the most confident Waterhouse but I think based on history, they will come in here favourites for sure and feeling that they have what it takes to execute yet another victory and of course with the top scorer in high flying Javain Bryan who is big in confidence, I think that will be an added boost for the Blue and Yellow. Waterhouse in the Blue and Yellow and there, of course as Chris would have mentioned earlier, once called Jamalco FC from the Pash of Clarendon, certainly a football crazy parish, have produced quite a lot of quality and personally I still remember Hazard in that time when they ruled the rules and of course Clarendon doing well. Here's the officials for this encounter at Hamilton, the woman with the whistle, Kenny Wright and Rick Denarcha, the assistants, Carvel Banton, the fourth official, the captains, Javier Brown and Kemar Foster, they have the coin toss, Kemar Foster, all smiles as they go through their final conversations, the team of officials. But let's have a quick look at the lineup for Vir United. Roger Williams in goal, Javier Brown, Kemar Beckford, Matt Lutford, Nathaniel Howe, Alwyn Strong, Lamar Niel, Javon Smith, Dunston Cohen, the under 20 invitee, O'Dayne Murray, Damien Thomas, their coach by Linvol Dixon. Yeah and this is how they will shape up as well, playing in a 4-3-3 and yeah Dunston Cohen coming back into the starting line-up, that would add an boost to youngster, but yeah, Javier Brown and Lamar Niel who partner so well with Javier Brown, I love to see when both the number seven and number eight play together to experience Niel and he is back in that line-up as well, I think that would be a big deal for their team and O'Dayne Murray here on loan from Mount Pleasant, he will add a boost on that right-hand side. Here's a look at the waterhouse, line-up, Kemar Foster in goal, Shamari Dallas, Andre Fletcher, Elvis Wilson, Christopher Matthews, Denado Thomas, Nevada Blair, Denado Jimison, Shamar Booth, Javain Brown, the 10-goal man this season, Rivaldo Mitchell, their coach by Marcel Gale. Yeah, they as well, we were playing with a 4-3-3 formation, Christopher Matthews comes into that back line because yeah, there is no Keith Simpson, the experienced centre-back, he is missing as well, no Damien Bin, so a couple players coming in, Blair as well and yeah, Javison Thomas and Booth in the middle of the park, great to see the width and Rivaldo Mitchell, he is in good form as well, two goals in three games for Rivaldo Mitchell, he'll take part on the left-hand side and of course Andre Fletcher has always been in good form with Brian, they are link-up play excellent and that is where I think waterhouse have the advantage in terms of what they have to offer in the attacking side of things. Fletcher with six goals and Brian with ten, I think it's a big deal and with a Mitchell finding form, so talented Rivaldo Mitchell over the years and it's great to see him adding some goals to that, that is what Vera could really do with some of. New formation being used by waterhouse, of course they once did 4-4-2 more using the spine but they've used wing players throughout this season as we see kickoff here with the possession at the early stages, trying to thread that one through. One of the things I will say is that I think defensively, waterhouse will be a little bit weaker, no Keith Simpson, yes older now but his experience, what he brings to that backline and no Damien Bin, two of the more experienced defensive players and that's something that will hopefully Vera will look to exploit that there are a couple players in that line-up who are not as experienced and maybe an opportunity for them to create some more chances. Throwing for waterhouse, taken quickly, Navarro Blair trying to poke it forward for Mitchell, I put that from Javain Bryan, mouth in that he didn't touch. Damien Thomas there. To free kick for Vera and Roger Williams, certainly Navarro you see a goalkeeper getting consecutive man of the match awards, he had that distinction early in the season Roger Williams for Vera but well obviously likes goalkeepers and that one directly to Kemal Foster on the other end. Here's waterhouse in possession, cleared out of touches, another throwing for Vera, Fletcher there using some Guilewood tripped and the call goes the way of waterhouse taking the kick quickly, you can see the crosswind there as we see the other flag influence in that ball, Linval Dixon, Rudy his nickname from yesteryear. Played with that hazard team that you mentioned years ago, also played overseas in the U.S. There's Marcel Guile who did lead this waterhouse team a couple of seasons ago to the preliminary win if you want to say they were leaders at the end of the first round, fell away in the playoffs when he had to go on the 20 duties with the national team and he had ended up finishing fourth. So he knows what it's like at this point in the season to execute favorable results, to get those big three points and push himself up the table stay in the playoff areas and as I said to win the preliminary round so I think he'll still be confident that he has what it takes even though well he's sitting in sixth position is it seventh just outside of the playoffs what's at the moment but a chance to go right back in if he does get a victory here today so problem for waterhouses that their results as I said has just been opened down yesterday to produce a good match and then they go right back all the way down yeah here's Blair stripped of possession trying hard to get it back but very united able to go the other way both teams not as settled as I'm sure either coaching staff would want them to be waterhouse of course marginally ahead in terms of keeping the ball but most of that in their own half. Blair there under some amount of duress gets it away Denada Thomas with a good take trying to turn critical for him to have a good game today Denada Thomas a lot of the creativity will be coming from him especially with Nikoi Christian out of the squad as well so three senior players we've mentioned not there and Denada Thomas this season been hot and cold to me but when he has a good game as I said waterhouse tend to do well yeah when he's not he's really hot yeah and I like the fact that you're playing more within the middle of the park we will get more touches don't think he's a real white player Denada Thomas good that Mitchell has come of age really in this waterhouse setup of course we'd have seen in some instances we're he would have been playing at the white right winger so Mitchell replacing him here's that ball straight to the goalkeeper ground goes all the way back to Lutford and Lutford gets the return ball now under some amount of pressure gets it to the keeper Damian Thomas now on the ball for Vir ball played forward but waterhouse defense will take possession of that one throwing check in by waterhouse the kind of fluency that we want to see but let's see how they managed to get their rhythm going that one played out of touch and again it's a kick for Vir United a goal kick actually it's a corner kick got a deflection there Vir United having to defend now Fletcher the six goal man let's see how he delivers does short turning well is Mitchell trying to get it across wins another corner kick sent in the area once more came off Javon Smith inadvertently it's another corner kick third in the row for waterhouse can they capitalize on it Denada Thomas behind this one yeah that deliver before that just a little bit too deep though not adjusting well to the wind let's see that wasn't bad towards the near post giving some dangerous moments there and it's another corner kick had to be played out by Nathaniel how it's a foreigner row can this one be the lucky number for waterhouse in the ninth minute of this encounter Fletcher listed in the area Rajay Williams breaks that sequence and plays it out for Vir but now in possession of waters once more here they come Jibison stabbing it forward for Fletcher Fletcher gets it Denada Thomas wanted that one but it was played out by Mitchell still in possession his waterhouse could work getting it in the area Mitchell had to swing that from the chest but seemed to have gotten a deflection again they are lining up for another corner kick that was really unreasonable from Jibison that deliver into the area nailed the pass let's look at this here from Jibison what do you expect Mitchell to do with that drilled it at his chest Annie well I'm glad he's okay Ravada Mitchell but did well I think to even attempt that chest finish but I think that was asking way too much in the captain Brown on in possession for Vir turning his back foot position lost as waterhouse now able to play it forward but they give it away as well still with Vir goes for the shot always high and wide from Javonsmith came in the transfer window Smith two goals already on the season yeah very united though as you said now 411 minutes since they have last scored a goal did get an own goal against Tivel in that 2-1 loss but in terms of their score in 410 minutes I would think by now they've probably forgotten how to score Christopher Matthews trying to work out the technique of course that ball out of touch and it's a throw in for Vir it's Brown the captain almost gave it away there here's Ravada Mitchell trying to get in the air does some turns gets a shot off was tamed in the end and Roger Williams able to hold on to it that all the corn rows did Ravada Mitchell platin very neatly look at that and again what good defensive work from Javier Brown take away the sting from the shot yeah was under pressure let's put his foot there and I think Mitchell actually ended up kicking it but always been very skillful Mitchell I know that he's gaining confidence in terms of his goal scoring I think he's even a bigger threat from that wide era gets past players very easily Mitchell doing well on the defensive end on that occasion here's Thomas now not the quickest but not a slow player either is Thomas put back to Thomas under some pressure there been fouled up by Nathaniel Howe who I must say has put on a few inches since his days since I last I last saw him as a school boy couldn't believe that he was the same player well they certainly early taking the early drive Mount Pleasant and getting ready for the second match appears Fletcher uses possession but it comes still in the area played away it's a corner kick unable to control that's Nathaniel Howe sixth corner for Waterhouse still none for Veer played up looks to be Howe make that Beckford rather Brown now send it the way of Cohen Cohen trying to whip it across played it out is actually off the player getting a corner kick the first of the encounter Veer United dancing Cohen behind this one low but good turn and a great save by Kemal Foster or what a shot it was instinctive from a day in Murray but what a great reflex from Kemal Foster he really had to pull that one out it would have been buried Cristela yeah that corner should never have come across poor defending from a waterhouse perspective Cohen getting it cleanly and yeah that was weak defending came to Murray is it corner once more played out of touch yeah luckily for Waterhouse Murray's finish wasn't the cleanest in terms of strikes it still was heading on target but it gave Foster an opportunity another thing that he really yeah sure should have put up put on it miscued for sure a day in Murray a day in Murray who was based in Clarendon all along actually initially was playing for humble lion then went in the transfer market to Mount Pleasant and not consistent game time so they've decided to loan him to Veer United and they certainly could do with the help Veer would have been a great opportunity for him there to get on the score sheet not often he's in those goal scoring positions Murray but yeah Veer who as we said are now at 417 minutes without scoring could have really done with that kind of lead early in the match do very safe with 19 points in 10th position Veer no worries have been relegated when you see that Treasure Beach and Lyme Hall have 8 and 7 respectively so there's no way they're going to make up 11 points with just nine games to go positive result and in fact in yesterday eight games to go for them so as I was saying positive result yesterday for Treasure Beach the draw against Dumbledore holding Romario Bryan with the goal there and then Nicholas Nelson finally breaking his scoreless run Nicholas Nelson getting his 7th of the season. Dumbledore might have looked at that as an missed opportunity for three points against the Treasure Beach team changing administration struggling in relegation but yeah a big point for them and with Mullines earning a draw they have maintained that eight point gap Mullines I just think not to sound negative but I think it's it's too much to ask for Treasure Beach and Lyme Hall based on the points that they would have to make up and based on Mullines form of recent I expect them to get more points. Yeah another look at the save from Kemal Foster Just look at it here that defending there was not the best but hey we did get the strike on target. Great save that from Foster.

Player takes the throw to resume play here's Thomas gets it to Blair take it away rather cheaply and you're trying to go the other way Beckford trying to do the slip around has a lot of work to chase Matthews but he plays it away easily Jamar Dallas in some trouble but coming to the way of Beckford very close there Hamilton not having any of the talk of Beckford and Jamon Smith hoping that the call perhaps would have gone their way but it's a free kick for Waterhouse the player still down Elvis Wilson medical attention being given to Wilson using the time for a team talk is Waterhouse Fletcher and Booth certainly being vocal in that mix of things Kemal Foster the elder statesman of course voice in his own opinion as well smiles and greetings for from Marcel Gale and his team go back into the top six today here they come here Cohen stripped of possession rather easily Booth Mitchell to Blair Mitchell playing it forward now for Blair he was fouled yeah the Hamilton goes to our pocket pocket the card is out that was a definite foul and probably a needed one as Blair was going to head into the box that was yeah that was poor from Murray did have eyes on the ball Murray but just can't swing like that so rightfully in the book he's still feeling the effects but it won't save him from the yellow card not bad in the way of support your spectators for the early kickoff of course Waterhouse they definitely carry their crowd the early arrival of Mount Pleasant definitely brings a buzz across the Anthony Spaulding sports complex they are watching yeah no surprise that they're here already of course traveling from the north coast Mount Pleasant the parish of St Ann the garden parish rather to be here early taking the proceedings relax before their match especially as it gets later there will be a traffic issue 24th minute of play Nevada Blair standing behind this one Andre Fletcher perhaps the comptroller giving him directions as to where to send the delivery Blair in the area on the back post the header was on Brian oh save from the line Rajee Williams doing well there and it's still not cleared but finally oh he has really come of age and come alive number 31 for Waterhouse he has been their man in the most recent games Revaldo Mitchell and again he's on the score sheet of course Brian would have almost gotten one there had it not been for the brilliance of Rajee Williams but take nothing he was where he needed to be Blair into the box at first yeah good save Rajee Williams just came to Mitchell though and yeah well snuck into the near post good delivery by Nevada Blair asking question it was kept alive and then Javier Brandt he was about to celebrate thought he had scored Rajee Williams had other ideas and so too did Mitchell was it Javier Brown on the line trying to keep it out just look at it here yes Javier Brown would be disappointed that that left foot wasn't strong enough to keep it out from the near post but Mitchell find in form as we said he's now added goals to his repertoire and because of that so much more dangerous is Waterhouse attack with goals coming from either flank Fletcher and now Mitchell can we respond quickly that was Lamar Neal tried the early shot but came out faster able to handle that one they go the other way Waterhouse been struggling with injury Lamar Neal is that influential kind of player for this Vier team and as you could see almost immediately through the scent of the park which is where they have those two big tall main men missing bins and Simpson that is where Vier looking to do some damage and nearly did through Neal but yeah the woes for Vier continue at the back just uncertainty in the defense line and again conceding needless goals it just wasn't defended from the set piece delivery so many Waterhouse players had room even for yeah attempts before it actually went in. Waterhouse faithful you hear them in the mics the crowd mics yes Brian doing well still Brian oh my does have a shot in him unable to get that one inside the frame spoke to him in yesterday's matches here at the tennis ball in sports complex and he spoke about his eagerness to get more goals and how it's such a joy and and and privilege to now be playing in the Premier League when he used to come to Annick Gans to watch Premier League football previously played in tier two last season the Javain Brian and that was really good skill should have hit the target based on his form and unfortunately for him over the top but good to see him turn in the Vier defense inside out Dunstin to Beckford a coin to Beckford trying to be kept alive by Howe and Beckford keep the light releasing Murray Murray corner given that's a bit of a surprise to me I thought it was a miscule strike by Beckford by Murray who was just under pressure Murray was a little bit late coming forward that's something that Vier need to do more of Murray needs to get in his overlapping skills a lot more often to provide the width because Beckford has was forced to pull wide because of that and the pass was going from Beckford to Howe on the opposite end and then back to Beckford not really the most attacking style of play or efficient calling with the kick has some height in it Matthews able to clear for Waterhouse gives up a throw light matters will be taken quickly by Howe and captain Brown still Brown in possession ball plate fallen for Cohen doing well there can he spark gets it across the bins bins was trying to return it in the area he really should have taken a shot there did Damian Bins gets the corner kick though but not showing the kind of clinical finishing abilities that I'm sure in Valdixen rules yeah again Waterhouse though facing the wrong direction almost running back towards Kemair Foster not the way you want to defend you want to be facing the attacker here's a corner kick headed away by Brian still alive though Neil Cohen trying to shake Blair gets it almost got it across Brian doing some good defensive work there and now they're able to break Mitchell slips it for Brian oh yeah this is looking good his pass was poor cut out now here's Veer that first touch really let down Javon Smith and Shamari Dallas trying to hold him at bay and the Hamilton saying a little bit too physical for her liking it was a good tussle though on that far side lots of tugging going on but obviously in that kind of region the defender is going to have the advantage in terms of that Matthews puts that one forward headed away by Lodford still based on what we've seen so far I know Veer lacking in confidence in terms of goals and this fixture in itself but I like their chances of getting a really good opportunity for a goal as to whether Waterhouse will get more and if Veer can stay with them we'll find but I do think that Veer will create some opportunities just because of this weakened spine for Waterhouse and we've seen so far where Veer have found themselves with space and of course with a player like Beckford in that that front line a man who scored 60 Premier League goals in his career just the kind of player who can hurt Waterhouse here's Fletcher he was offside though Casey players Andre Fletcher unable to check the lines well there here they come great space for Kohen can he shoot from distance good defensive work that to be both played forward now but count once more Brown doing well just to shimmy and release his Kohen can he keep it in perhaps could have tried a bit harder yeah but that chance previously for Kohen slow in terms of rotation the Waterhouse defense and Kohen had a lot of space on the right hand side but it took too long to make up his mind decided to take a touch then wait and by the time he wanted to shoot it was easily blocked had to be a little bit more decisive maybe that first touch should have taken him into the box to close the angle on the defender so he would have definitely have got the shot but then as I said just just another example of here opening them up throwing for fear gave it away after he did well to keep position alive for Waterhouse a bit of a miscommunication between himself and without a Thomas here's Williams trying to play it out he does get it out into the half of Waterhouse but headed back into the rear half back for doing well to gain possession for fear Thomas has a silky smooth aura about him when he's on the ball this Thomas Chimison send that one forward get in the air of Brian oh he got his legs in a bundle there has a smile about it he knows that his time is coming I'm sure the other way now Lamar Neil trying to chip it forward for back back foot but too much on that one yeah that's a really bad miss though by Javane Brian almost what you would see from a forward who is not confident who has lost his confidence wanted to kick it first time which was probably the right option decided to take a touch and then yeah the touch just wasn't good enough couldn't sort out his feet and Rajé Williams got the time to recover should never have been able to recover though Rajé Williams and that is the player for Waterhouse that you would want in that kind of position Javane Brian a 10 goal man this season even the best of them do make mistakes in the front line you just have to come again just too easy though from a Lindvall Dixon and Vir perspective how they were exposed especially on the left hand side of their defense acrobatic kick from Thomas to try to clear his Vir Smith poor attempt that from the captain Javier Brown Waterhouse was happy to play it easily at the back attract some amount of pressure break the lines easily and they're doing that some measure of precision at the moment Dallas tries to go long now Rajé Williams will be equal to this one Waterhouse regaining position after that miscued one pass here's Mitchell has the ability to get by players does well to get it to Blair gets it across had a deflection on its way to Williams what he handles it well releases it here's how Nathaniel how gets it to Neil Murray Neil has to go all the way back Thomas poor control from Brown here's Fletcher and Brian together could pass from Fletcher to Chibison Chibison barge into the hand of Javier Brown perhaps was hoping that at it Hamilton would have heard or seen his entreaty nothing doing says the referee Neil Murray strong loses possession to Chibison Brian doing well to keep it alive here's Fletcher only has one player really to beat Fletcher forced wide can release Mitchell still Fletcher chooses to go by himself goes wide and didn't have the cross in his legs I don't think he was really I think initially outside of the 18 he was looking for a shot Andre Fletcher forced to go wide and then got the cross wrong I can't believe that he would have gone for goal from that angle in the end but just from a fair perspective why he was allowed to just continue running Fletcher was that was a starter in a strange first half it must be said yes water also have the goal but haven't really been impressed with their play and they haven't stopped their authority by enemies in this first half how stripping Thomas a possession that's what I was trying to thread that one through Smith Neil chipping it forward Cohen wasn't really on the same page as Neil didn't anticipate that chip yeah when Lamar Neil Lamar Neil is in the middle for Fear United things tend to happen he has he can't see the bigger picture and himself and Javier Brown have a good understanding the captain Javier Brown tends to sit a little bit deeper and Neil then allowed to roam in the middle of the park and I think Fear United have always said they are a better team when both are playing together one always seems to be injured though and hence the team the teamwork doesn't happen pretty often but yeah again intelligent pass from Neil but the youngster not on the same wavelength just wonder if they can include Beckford now and make it a trio here they come waterhouse Mitchell as the sole goal of the encounter is trying to go for goal what a fumble there off the hand of Fletcher it seems that was yeah lackadaisical from Roger Williams poor and Fletcher goes into the Alakata into the book so it's a deliberate handball by Andre Fletcher then is what a dead Hamilton is saying it looked as if it just rebounded off of him but she's saying no you put out your hand and purposely tried to put it into the goal which he did deceptively so here's a strike from Michelle this should have been routine for Williams well was that deliberate was yeah I'm not sure I'm not sure that's why I thought on that angle it can be interpreted as such perhaps not deliberate in my book whatsoever though but I don't think that's deliberate I I think Fletcher was trying to get his hand up but I'm not sure if Fletcher was trying to score with a hand this I think the motion would have been there would have been a forward motion almost like a slap but it could be argued that that's keeping your hand with you the momentum that you have from your body moving making yourself bigger bigger yeah fair enough either way of here spirit Roger Williams spirit blushes even more so here's another look at it this angle I guess Andre Fletcher blocking the path of the ball so that Williams couldn't get it out well no hand of God there for Fletcher half of you also unhandled ready for their encounter against Mount Pleasant coach of the Lions Jeremy Thomas there having a chat with a few functionaries within the football landscape journalists and coaches as well throwing the way of waterhouse four minutes of time to be added on to the first half we're in the first of that four Mitchell being hounded by Murray Murray already having a yellow card player with the delivery has a swing on it missed again by Williams it's a corner kick taking drop by Fletcher to Mitchell can whip it in the area now he does Brian headed to goal played away Brian will keep it alive for waterhouse player has a good range of passes does player we've seen some good quality deliveries from him perhaps that one a bit off tilt Brown trying to get it across to Beckford but played away hopefully fall for Brian in glory land is Brian still Brian hasn't really been the most clinical today has Javain Brian Mitchell though keeps it alive sends it wide chibison trying to outrun how yeah poor football all round Javain Brian inside the area lacking confidence but then the very defenders backing off of him and allowing him the space to do what he wanted to do I think I thought I was poor defending but Javain Brian has to be a little bit more decisive as a striker inside the area take responsibility take on that defender since they are backing off and get a shot on target that pass he was trying that was a wrong decision yeah it really was not sure who was it who it was on the far side but they were marked and would have been in a more defensive position than attacking so not the best end to the first half for waterhouse Neil here's Beckford we thought was on that side but at Hamilton has seen enough of the first half waterhouse versus veer united and the goal come in courtesy of Revaldo Mitchell after a delivery from Nevada player saw four attempts on goal and a few saves made by Rajay Williams and finally it was turned home by Revaldo Mitchell Javain Brian had the initial shot but still hasn't been able to put one in the back of the net lot to talk about for that man a lot to consider after his attempt was disallowed for a handled ball but at the half veer united trail waterhouse by a goal to Neil of champions yeah it's full of action the champions league on sports max 2 RB Leipzig come up against real madrid live on Tuesday at 3 p.m in Jamaica 4 in the eastern Caribbean no one has won the champions league more times than real madrid Paris Saint-Germain

here at the Tony's folding sports complex in on it gardens here at halftime waterhouse they lead veer united by a goal to nil revive the Mitchell the scorer after just some 24 minutes the first half which lack quality dean smith and and and both teams i think coming out of the dressing room we're hoping for a better showing there's revive the Mitchell three goals on the season three goals in four matches for him but yeah his team even though they created the best opportunities they didn't fully dominate the veer unit yeah you definitely expect so much more from a javane brian had some of the better chances one-on-one with the keeper just needing to beat the keeper on other instances unable to get his foot in right yeah you don't expect that from a 10-goal man though in his first season at the top life of jamaican football when you've set the standard so high for yourself leading the league and that he did quite a few match weeks ago you know you expect so much more so when he strikes when he's unsung he really sings but when he's off yeah there's a level of dissonance and a pitch correction needed yeah javane brian still a lot of a lot of time to go lord lebanade in the house he does battle later on head coach of harbour view yeah javane brian who would have played for me for his in tier two last season fresh into the premier league and starting with a bang but there are times throughout the season where sometimes a striker does fall a bit off of form we saw just in donbo quite a few matrix without scoring he scored in the 2-0 win against homberline yesterday brian has had inconsistencies as well so not a surprise but yeah he'll be hoping to make up for that really good opportunity out in the first half where all he needed was a good first touch and i'm sure roger williams could do nothing about the finish after that getting ready for second half action i did hamilton with the whistle sends it off as the music has to seize most of you just joining waterhouse in blue and yellow here in green and yellow here yes fletcher that won through for brian cut the shot off on target but he was offside and i wonder if it is that he doesn't score in this match after having those gluars chances would that affect his confidence personally i'm not sure it would but these things can affect the psyche of especially a striker that the number one metric you have is the goals you score especially from the opportunities you get you have some some play it depends on the player as well of course some players bounce back from disappointments quickly even in the game they miss five chances and they're still coming at you you have some players that they miss one chance or two chances and it puts a damp on their confidence you can see a miss control by brian again so it all depends on him he does play with a smile on his face he's probably i think if he i'm not sure he would have envisioned this amount of goals at this point in the season his first premier league season so maybe he's even done himself to an extent i think based on his personality and character though that he'll be back and ready for the for the next game yeah i think so too but it was a question worth asking here's how for sure rather mitchell a bit of a tussle there with dame marie takes a throw does marie turning is a smith hasn't had the the best of relationships with aded hamilton in this game has javan smith has demonstrated quite a few occasions and in for the most part aded hamilton perhaps has been right kick for waterhouse avarably the recipient of that flailing arm a bit of conversation there with the fourth official carvel banton and the here united players kick taken by waterhouse booted up field waterhouse still in possession here's thomas chippin it fall for fletcha fletcha is in a prime position but his shot was an odd number i can't do a wrong decision from fletcha why would you shoot from that kind of angle it would only be a mistake by roger williams that would allow that in pleasure should have been looking for a pass there had gibison as well as brian inside the box can't see that they really gave much options if you look at how they were positioned or both in straight lines so one pass would have taken care of both instead of one maybe maybe almost creating a triangle method we weren't backing off towards the penalty spot it's cohen that's another thing that throughout the premier league it's been noticeable that that crosses a lot of times are just hopeful they don't pick out a player a lot of times many of the teams yeah they just run down the flank and then cross it in and and hope for the best but i think that's a part of jamaican football and caribbean football that needs to improve and even in terms of how forwards approach the 18-year era how they run instead of constantly running some of the times you have to check just to give the player a target it's fear still trying to come forward for him skipped and gave the opportunity for waterhouse to clear but it's still not away and clear for them here's lamard neal for fear he's hounded keeps on his feet gets the call finally taking almost trying to take it quickly does get it across the strong how cohen dots down the sideline straight in the arms of kemar foster could work from michael stripping mario possession hoping for the call waited and does get the corner kick though i'm worried about the kind of quality that you expect yeah it's really been absent leaves a lot to be desired cristela that all too familiar big game for waterhouse though three points here would take them back into a top six position they would leap frog double holding with 26 points two ahead now of double holding who as i said drew against treasurer beach so further breathing room or an opportunity to to add a little space between themselves and double holding in that sixth seventh positions in the table on a guns who is in fifth still has a 10 point gap on double holding who is in sixth so no threat of any of the top five being overtaken for now and 10 points a pretty big gap call here going the way of there after beckford was brought down not a bad position at all for a strike how is there has had some strikes at the schoolboy level and then you'll how favorite to take this one as he lines it up can he outsmart the experience goalkeeper kemar foster brown stands behind him as a chaperone take in short left of brown and that was poor his final attempt something from the training ground for fear i just think the path rushed on to javier brown a little bit too quickly and so he was actually late with a strike hence hence how far he skewed it wide foot not able to come through in time because the ball had actually crunched him for space fear being forced to defend now fletcher played that one out of touch another throw in neil takes it tomas for waterhouse under pressure loses possession here's how trying to slip it through javon smith unable to keep it in his wings loses possession here's neil he showed a bit too much of that one still alive for veer beckford forcing a save and the follow-up saved again by foster it's still alive though tomas just poking that one in the area and fosters down and treatment needed two saves in quick succession peckford with the original strike have a look at it good save yeah good double save by foster can't really see why he was injured there foster maybe just wanted to break the momentum of veer but yeah kemar beckford knows about both going that was a good acrobatic attempt as well from dunstein cohen on the second attempt both were straight at kemar foster for the most part two saves you'd expect him to make well yeah he was back up early after the first strike sure what would have caused the injury to foster it seemed like a pretty routine save for a keeper of his quality i'm sure he'll be back up in no time shot of the few of some of the spectators here in hand marching band here in possession now our deal tried to fire first time he missed that one totally waterhouse putting it forward brian giving chains for j williams able to hold on did have some fumbles in the first half did which is williams is veer with neil luther brown leases cohen gets by dallas does cohen can he deliver telling one in there yeah oh my almost there converted looked to have been by smith but foster equal to the task once more slowing getting up yet again kemar foster could save low down to the right hand side looked as if he was leaning left at first and then had to change direction could save nice move though from the denby schoolboy dunstein cohen waterhouse trying to create some magic of their own and no doubt would be flying out of a hat for that one here's veer have been a bit more purposeful early in this half veer can they get something for all their efforts waterhouse perhaps will have other intentions especially through this man brian how shown the yellow card just wonder if it's about that time for someone like dean andre thomas who has a lot of experience playing for dumber holding this was the last opportunity for veer united cohen doing well getting past dallas and they had a good low down save there from foster he could just seem going left initially faster he probably thought he was going to go across him the finish but yeah got down well yeah player like tom was who does know about goal scoring and scoring critical goals still yet to score one in a green shirt but could he be the answer here's neil under pressure gets the call after fletcher bars into him maybe even a talented youngster in jaheem harris as well who could bring some with to just try something different there is lorenzo luin on the bench who scored twice already this season luin all beat in a treasure beach shirt scored one of the goals of the season at stadium east a few weeks ago he's another impact player from the wide areas so they have options do veer united good work from brian in the heart of the defense clean it off a veer player for throwing for waterhouse players warming up there is jaheem harris in the number 11 but also warming up is saklin wall jayles and they're just showing too much handy we're able to go the other way now kohit beckford to brown how still how was trying to get it to beckford could have fired from that distance brian now going the other way for waterhouse especially because it was bouncing nice for him on the volley yeah fletcher kohen there complete in the not mega as we call it a salad in jamaica was fouled at the end of that sequence here's the 18-year-old called by dalas waterhouse contingent on hand in degree taken quickly good defensive clearance that kohen whips it in the area headed away but comes only to javier brown the captain beckford trying to be very safe does manage to do that it's past the strong was a bit beyond him but he was already offside what's in my cup stays in my cup what's in your phone stays in your phone when you're down now the sportsmax app get it on the google player the apple app store and watch Jamaica Premier League action Premier League in Trinidad and Tobago and so many other sporting events and the leagues different disciplines as well WTA tennis it's all there on the sportsmax app players warming up for beer came out faster in some amount of treatment still waterhouse trying to get out of pressure but here's how trying to keep it alive for beer waterhouse with brian now goes the other way good hold up play by brian now releases chibison chibison is through on goal doesn't get the most powerful shot but j williams able to play it out now and here wasting no time to press forward gave it away cheaply though did they beckford trying to work hard but still in the possession of waterhouse brian to thomas strong did well is neil beckford pass from ground to house cut out by tenada thomas as acres of real estate attempted cross cut out by nathaniel how and it's a throwing steward comes on for jibison waterhouse deciding to make a change and yeah here the couple changes for beer united really need to have a change in personnel they've decided to go with wall and and harris it's a clean wall kind of versatile campaign the attacking midfield rule could play as one of the forwards as well generally plays central positions though here's where strong gave that away cheaply fletcher won't mind as he tries to string something together for waterhouse through the gold score of michel michel trying to turn on the styles a bit slowing it down waterhouse keeping the ball of course just about 20 minutes to go that wasn't a pass though from michel even if there was a run being made that would have been overheat see these changes come in i i still would probably like to see a maybe even a change in formation even to take a chance maybe go a three five two or even a four four two i would love to see denandre thomas operate with kemar beckford i think with their experience and the fact that the spine of waterhouses weakened that is where i'd be looking to do my damage and i think with their experience the amount of goals they have scored amongst them that a partnership like that could be ideal for this game fletcher still fletcher charged down well by thomas ground trying to break now for beer here they go now beckford plays it forward i was trying to find kohen but that was cut out waterhouse with brian on the ball enterprise in ball still alive for waterhouse getting it across also very close almost turning to his own goal by damian thomas fletcher was unhanded if that hadn't been no it's fletcher actually who got the final touch and then puts up his hand as he can't believe that he's missed that nice ball from the wide air look at this from fletcher it ditched q off the foot of of thomas which probably threw off fletcher as well but yeah he did get a touch as well fletcher but it'd be a little hard to say that he should have definitely converted that the trajectory of the ball slightly changed out of the reflection yeah almost for fletcher who is looking for goal number seven on the season here's kaman is still at the substitute can he pick out brian forced a bit wide still alive gets it back in the area have to take some time to soak up what just happened christela overall has been lacking in quality certainly not an awe-inspiring game at all throwing taken fletcher player standing behind this one was a delivery from him that led to the goal for waterhouse in swinger held it marginally away will some play that one on the touch take it quickly the last possession as quickly as they took the throw here's fletcher for waterhouse in stride has fletcher to his right past the fletcher was cut out right on time neil releases the substitute wall gets it across neil still trying to keep it under control but has to go back to marie his attempted delivery was poor low and stewart now able to go the other way for waterhouse smart play that by brian and kept alive by michelle gets the corner kick standing back for the sportsmax app moment brought to you by the sportsmax app saving the first half by kemar foster after den marie from the corner from dancin cohen really troubling foster in gone didn't have perhaps all the greatest of power behind the strike but it was definitely on target and foster had to dig deep and pull out a spectacular save the sportsmax app moment yeah he's been the best player in the park in a game that has lack quality kemar foster with three important saves in the second half and you remember the one in the first as well from off of a den marie where he tipped it over the bar yeah definitely a bit of difference in a game that waterhouse should have dominated had the best chances initially as we see andre leslie back in the frame for waterhouse it's been around for a long time leslie's paid all his career at waterhouse there's a corner kick thomas handled easily by reggie williams stewart fletcher on the pressure but navigates well grinds for a startletting down there we're able to play a bit more comfortably out from the back he's looking suck in wall his boot for waterhouse back to wilson fletcher darts inside trying to release brian brown was offside cohen can he spark some magic trying to twist and turn but none of ideas is brian can he get by lutford leslie trying to barge through what went out of touch there brown sends it forward back foot can he get by could defend in that by elvis wilson to played out of touch throwing for veer the 80th minute of this encounter both teams just not showing the kind of quality you really want from a one-night-in counter more football in action kind of later on on sports max two harbour view versus mount pleasant champions of the last two editions of the jamaica premier league square off and what is expected to rear a cracking encounter here in the jungle yeah still not sure i agree with limfield dixon's substitutions though bringing on wall and harris alone i i'm a little bit surprised he didn't go for more experience as i said and look to change the formation i'm not sure he really assists the inadequacies in this in this waterhouse team and they have found opportunities there's denandre thomas who we spoke about earlier who i thought should have been brought on to partner peckford and really cause problem for the central defense of and or the central areas generally of waterhouse which is where i think they're vulnerable and in the first half especially you saw moments where fear had opportunities on top of the 18 yard with lots of space didn't take them yes the past is out wide of of also phone space but i think where they could really have hurt waterhouse was was in those areas especially with an uncertain defensive midfielder and center back here as well and who better than than two players who've had over a hundred appearances each at this level he's gone for more of the youth suckling wall on it now plays as you could see in the center of the park can players that attack in midfielder has played forward as well i'm not sure in this game he was the answer i would also might have gone for for louis to play on the flank here because louis is one of those players that is very direct and he's so busy that he could cause problems again for a backline that is changed and yet those two players who were very marked did have not have not come on that that's a surprise for me who knows what's in the mind of a coach when he makes certain decisions against the expectation of the fans and of course the analyst as well well i mean he would obviously have his plans as you say a bcrd and he might be seen a different picture for a certain reason a different picture boost that went out of the picture perhaps something that happened in another territory last evening that kind of yes kick of punt well there is louis so louis is brought on to replace neil louis more of a wide player actually it's louis it's louis for cohen is it so that's like for like louis we're going to the wide area and suje graham for neil just coming back into the frame after each of them are neil and we saw glimpses of what he could do in the first half but he's looked a bit leggy in the second half so no surprise with the change here's suje graham on the ball gets it a strong strong first touch wasn't the best but all's well that ends well still in possession here's brown morris still not providing that extra man up front through the overlap at all graham has scored a couple goals this season as well so very willing to get into that 18 year louis and even in that kind of situation you put here i think that strong was come wide i wouldn't come wide to slow to to block the area i would allow louis to go one and one in that kind of situation because of his pace and his ability leave louis wide to to run at the player be direct and then hope that he finds that pass that angle pass into the box to create a chance harris on the ground spill but still not converted offside is it is it offside good strike here that was an excellent second save spilled it initially there's a lot of power behind it from jim tomas who jim harris who has that talented left foot and after foster made the save he spilled it he it was a good recovery by him because there was a second save peeled out in the end by the offside flag but considering he spilled it initially i thought that the second save was a really strong right hand from kema or foster like this those saves are very important because it could be the kind of game that water was needed clean sheeting brown given away there but favor return here's damian tomas talking a bit deep by his kema back foot looking to thread that pass that has been down for quite a while not a head injury so he's been ignored for now tell her foster peels him out yeah exactly around with foster just working the clock just about two minutes to go did see his teammate down 100 fletcher here's a look at some of the saves from foster first one this both makes that moment but in moori with the strike on target kema back foot in the second half then the follower by dunstan cohen double save that from foster and yeah this one courtesy of back foot doing very well there so easily could have even put his head on the post and so many dangerous outcomes could have come but yeah kept the ball out kept his body safe his frame safe as well and it's a clean sheet so far for waterhouse nice package for kema or foster and even since that package was put together another telling save first a block from jaheem tomas did spill it but then that second save with the right hand because that was heading in another big moment for waterhouse is number one and in a game where his strikers have been off the map for the most part getting lots of opportunities are not converting he certainly couldn't have had a a droopy kind of performance by any means and perhaps the only player deserving of the man of the match even discussion 100 fletcher goes off so that injury is the last of it for him keneel hide is on still alive for veer strong tripped up here by keneel hide out of nine minutes added to this second half of stoppages a lot can happen in nine minutes christela and quite frankly much of the same can happen as well brown from distance and the other times his board is brought in more in poor and even with the type of game that jaheem bran has had he is still remained on the park for waterhouse last time out of course against veery had a hat trick in that 401 win but hasn't been as sharp today as in that much on the 19th of november peter guland family are here to take in the second match which is his team on pleasant coming up against the stars of the east in harbour view pretty impressive display last time out for harbour view scoring four goals and a really good attacking display from them just on anglin was the man of the match in the middle of the park there he is there number seven did concede and give up two goals later on and at that point harbour view had wronged the changes and they didn't really keep the same level of intensity made the match look a lot closer than it really was but lord lebonade especially in that second half of what a display was from his harbour view team that's shot on target two j williams made it look acrobatic but pretty simple for a keep of his quality form of fifa referee kibble williams fifa assistant referee always a big supporter of the jamaica premier league on the right fifth minute of added time will waterhouse consolidate or will maybe late drama well at the end of this one if it remains as is it will be 499 minutes without scoring a goal perhaps if you had what happened was added on in the first half it will be 503 the weight continues from here united wow they've had a couple moments today but kim our foster has been on his a game that's a free kick they're close in the air there yeah lots of officials in the house there's kibble williams right of screen former fifa assistant referee does play masses league as well for real monitors are still involved in the game big time kibble williams we also have referee assistant form of fifa central referee courtney cambell in the house as well great to see the team of commentators perhaps maybe we might have to ask for his expert analysis but yeah great to see the officials of all levels here to support the premier league as well quite a few not necessarily involved at this level in the game still but yeah showing their support here's lorenza louis still alive with louis gets it in a nice area for wall beckford tries to get it across strong is on hand still some moments gray on the substitute brown which perhaps the wrong side of beckford he was trying to connect back with brown should be a corner kick as a throw corner kick from my angle but so says the assistant referee get it through j williams in the center circle can he strike from distance leaves it for wall gets the call as beckford was trying to scoop that one over the top was a handle on that ball wasted kick here they're able to play it out but not very far lorenza louis has been busy since he's come on waterhouse trying to run away run down the clock which i can't go at any moment now steward played that one other coach wall has to be the final bit of play here in this encounter oh he gave it away cheaply oh faster again a snapshot from luin and finally that it Hamilton blows the final whistle danger at the death for waterhouse but they survive it's not a drowning attempt in this encounter for them really wasn't a game of the maximum quality that you'd expect but waterhouse managed to get away with the win at the death lorenza louis in strike in there and came out faster as he has done all game coming up trumps for waterhouse he's the man of the match he's been patched up but it's been a good performance for him and the waterhouse defensive line has been speared blushes then for dixon a lot to think about for him they continue 503 minutes without scoring a goal and waterhouse back in the top six full-time score waterhouse won veer nil full-time highlights sunshine for this kickoff and waterhouse had this strike early roger williams able to hold on to that one dixon coin with this corner kick forcing a great save after a day marie gotta put to it and came out faster coming up trumps the goal would come from this passage of play headed back in the area and attempted bicycle kick javi and brian with a strike dallas there as well and revilde mitchell get it the final touch beating goalkeeper roger williams the sole goal of the afternoon here's another look at it and mitchell three goals in four games for the man who's come alive in the most recent pictures for waterhouse showing the quality that even from a youth was evident revilde mitchell with a goal in this matchup here he comes again and that shot spilled fletcher was on hand literally second half action now betford with the strike foster equal to the task coin two was denied by foster and again betford would test foster he had to go low to his right and par that one away here again strike from the substitute harris saved by the keeper initially and he really had to dig deep to keep waterhouse with the lead dying moments lorenzo lou in the substitute testin foster at the depth they could have drowned waterhouse but at it hamilton was a lifeguard in hand to spear them blushes full-time stats several shots on target from 11 attempts six from 13 for waterhouse 26 fouls in this encounter two yellow cards javir one for waterhouse fletcher with that handled attempt five offside three to waterhouse 13 corners waterhouse had four in a row in one instance they had nine of the 13 12 saves made several for kemar foster what a performance he had the majority of the possession with beer but they have no goals waterhouse with the sole goal in this encounter as we go to christ stailer kemar on a night where waterhouse were not at their best you certainly had to come up chumps for them how difficult the match was that for you yeah it was very difficult tonight as you see um whenever functioning well um in the midfield we think we give up too much space for um beer to play and they did play once they give them space to play they will hurt you but fortunate um we come up with a thingy so some changes in the defensive midfield and the back line for you no key systems and no damian bin and that kind of exposed you even more yes you know um binz is out on injue um kitty as well so the youngsters have to step up and I think Christopher did a well well good job today so I have to congratulate him for his first game and I think you do a fair bit you're not quite an old boy but you might be an old boy in this unit um after being called upon so much in this kind of a match with so much stunning saves what kind of toll does that take on you and what's the recovery like as a goalkeeper it's rough for that to be honest it's rough you have to stay focused every time after a game like this and you have to the recovery after very very good ice bar um rest when you get the time to rest and then you have to eat back the ground training um ah that's possible would you wrap this as the best performance of this season for you so far um to be honest yes um it's quite the great one I have so far so I hope I have many more to come um the season is long so I hope so congrats on your performance came out get some rest enjoy that ice bar and we see you next week all right thank you came out faster there play out the game for waterhouse and what I was earning yet another clean sheet Linval Dixon now comes into the frame Linval I must say it's approximate it's almost 500 minutes since we're united have found a goal in open play is that disturbing for you and I'm definitely disturbing for us you know because we've been working really hard in training to score because of course I just say it you know four or five game you know we don't score a goal so it's called for concern you know but all in all you know we're still working on it and we're still fighting really hard you know but we come up against a national goalkeeper you know and you know he was the difference today not really the direction you want to be going in the table yet there's no real threat of relegation um when you analyze the performances yes you came up against a strong came out faster is that where you thought you fell short today and well definitely because I tell you maybe a little bit more composure really in front of you from the goal you know we could have get one or two you know but when you're not scoring and you know sometimes you'll get the chance you know you know really never compose yourself you know to score you know but I can't I can't complain for effort to the effort was really good uh from the from the back line to the to the to the top of the field you know but again you know we're not scoring and as I said you know we're most concerned about it and we'll continue working you know because we know when we start to score you know things will start to happen for us keep working hard Linville we know that we are always strive for excellence so we look forward for positive results in the weeks to come thank you very much my brother Linva Dixon former national player former captain and head coach of this very united team another loss for them as they struggle five losses in six games for Linva Dixon and Waterhouse Damian Gordon and Company just too much for them in the end and Damian definitely not a fluent performance for Waterhouse but at the end of it an ugly loss better an ugly win better than a pretty loss it's a big it's a big FAQ you know in terms of our consistency I thought that first half was very good I thought that we should have ended the game in the first half but football is two half I think they were better than us in the second half clearly but I mean in terms of how our defensive structure I think we did well tonight and with some key players out how would you assess the adjustment obviously Damian Binz Nikoi Christian as well as Keith Simpson three senior players three experienced players do you think that exposed your squad a lot more on something for you to think about with more with a lot more important games to come I mean not much so you know if you look and in terms of the chances that we created in the first half most team thinly we put away those chances and that's the difference between us and the other teams in front of us once we get that correct we should be alright but I mean those players are staples of this team but again we have some good players working with and we just have to encourage them back in sixth position talk to me about what you think would be going through the the head of of a Jovain Brian for example who as you said scored a hat trick last time out against him but now coming into this game lots of misses how does that affect the psyche I mean it's just keeping confidence in other words it's not a confidence thing it's just the momentum of this team and I think he's showing a lot of responsibility but we just have to encourage good player quality he has shown us that and he has taken these chances very well in terms of this league but I think tonight it was a little bit up so next game we hopefully he can convert those chances all right Damian um congrats for getting back into the playoffs but and and then keep the work up thank you not the greatest performance for waterhouse but they managed to get the win ahead of their united who continue their struggle perhaps they'll be saved from the relegation zone but what the house they moved into sixth as we wrap it up here from the anthony's modern sports complex for the first of two games in this double header
