St Evan Echoes posted:Did Jozy score this weekend? Just after entering the match in the 69th minute, the No. 17 shirt executed an artful give-and-go with Ki Sung-Yueng to spring a rush that ended with Adam Johnson's second goal of the day. Then, shortly after the end of Dempsey's decent 79-minute shift, Altidore made the most of a clumsy area challenge by Philippe Senderos to win the penalty kick for Johnson's hat trick.

Monday Bandele posted:Apparently, Jozy called AJ over to take the penalty. And that's just it. I doubt anyone would fault him for taking a penalty that he earned when he's in a goal-scoring rut. Giving up the penalty says more about Jozy's lack of confidence than him wanting to play nicey-nice with his teammates. I'm not trying to be a dick, but, frankly, Jozy's not getting paid to be best buds with his teammates and take cheesy-rear end pictures hanging off Johnson in the lockerroom like a football groupie. He's there to score. He's being criticized for not scoring. His teammates weren't passing to him because he they don't think he'll score, not because he's not a swell guy. Sometimes, it's better to be respected than liked. Zlatan goes around kicking his own teammates in the face. Didnt Henry not like to take penaltys he had won? Cant blame Jozy tbh for modeling himself after Thierry

http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/thescoutsnotebook/id/984?cc=5901 Lol ESPN has finally done a scouting report on a 24 year old "prospect", nevermind the fact that at 24 years old most players have either made it or have hosed off out of the game.

Holy poo poo just read the article and they think his transfer fee will rise??? also lol quote:Technically speaking, Altidore sometimes struggles when the game gets very quick and he's forced to play in tight areas. His first touch, especially when his back is to goal, leaves a bit to be desired and can often lead to frustration from himself as well as his teammates who look to their target man to hold up the ball. leaves a bit to be desired

The comments are also pretty amazing. "Can we get the kid some service though?? I'm hoping if Lukaku moves back to Chelsea, Martinez will pick him and get some quality football around the kid. Give him a competent midfield, and Jozy is up there with anyone." "It is so unfair to compare Jozy with Emile Heskey. Jozy can be the American Drogba!! Jozy need services. I think the lacked of services from Sunderland mid-field and wingers are actually hampering him even Fletcher. Yes, Jozy needs to work on his touches and possession, but he is good passer and many of Sunderland goals have started with him. The Kid needs services in the box. He is very strong and can a good striker, but he needs services." "He has greatly improved. The goals are not pouring in, but he is causing positive things to happen. Keep your head up Jozy"
