After all the weeping and wailing.

Head coach Dwight Yorke was left unhappy and frustrated with the outcome of the match as he felt T&T deserved much more, but was still proud of his young squad...

Yorke however isn't throwing in the towel until qualification is no longer possible.

00:00A draw wasn't the worst result for TNT, but it wasn't the one they needed on their trip to Curaçao,
00:06especially after being the superior team in terms of ball possession, total shots, shots on targets, and big chances created.
00:13But failing to convert that superiority into wins is what has Dwight Yorke unhappy.
00:18No, I'm not happy, of course. I would like, as I said, we would have liked to get all three points,
00:23and over the two games, as you mentioned, I felt that we were the better teams.
00:28And deserve more from it.
00:31However, we didn't want to lose the game.
00:35A point on reflection, again, we feel we had done.
00:39We created more chances.
00:41My players had more opportunity in both games, but we haven't been able to sort of convert those chances.
00:49And again, we gifted the first goal to them, which seems to be a repeat that we continue to do for our own sake.
00:57So that's something that we will take a lot of credit.
00:59But again, a lot of credit to my players because we didn't lose the game. We didn't give in.
01:05The draw leaves TNT still in with a chance. However, destiny is no longer solely in their hands.
01:12However, Yorke is not yet waving the white flag with two matches remaining, but he took issue with the scheduling of matches.
01:18I think it's never over until mathematically it is over. There's still six points to play. We can get to 11.
01:26We know Kurosawa, winning the both games, can get to 14. I think that's the way they will look at it.
01:32But we can only control what's in front of us. We can't really look at other teams.
01:38We had a goal in mind to make sure to try and win all the games going in.
01:44We've been on the road for the past three games.
01:47We are the only team in the group to play three consecutive games away.
01:52So we're other teams. I've had two games and one at home, one away.
01:59And although we have two games at home, it's a little tough on my team in the sense that we were three games away.
02:05We're only a young team and we're growing, but I'm very pleased with the way we performed tonight again.
02:10Regardless, Yorke is still proud of the character his players have shown.
02:14I think my team, a little bit inexperienced when you look at the average age of our team.
02:20We're only 23 or 24, and some of these guys haven't been at this kind of level.
02:26A lot is expected, but with all of that, I'm very proud of my team, the way we go about it.
02:33They never give up attitude. I love that.
02:36I just think that we deserve a little bit more, and we just haven't quite got over the line when we deserve a little bit more.
02:43So, as I said, maybe the football in God's not been on our side this time around.
02:49Terrence Clark, TV6 Sport.
