I was wondering if Jozy happened to play in and score the one goal in Sunderland's 3-1 loss against Sunderland's U-21 team. Does anyone know?

He's with the US team right now, so no, he did not score that goal.

Man of the match. I may have to start a separate chart for this, any real football men know a mans performance to the team is more important than individual merits like goals.

That was a really versatile performance from Jozy. He was asked to do a lot of things today and did really well I thought. Played a part in two goals. Good hold up play. Good game.

There aren't a lot of players in the league that you can tell to go give Tiote hell, and they get it done. I can't think of another forward off the top of my head. Maybe Rooney, although he doesn't have Jozy's size, which to me is what was giving Tiote trouble.

T. Finninho posted:

That replay is the reverse angle, it's even clearer on the proper angle as he never once had his head up or had any awareness that Borini is near him. He's watching it into his feet all the way and still fucks up the touch, thankfully it rolls to an actual striker

the bad touch argument is getting relly old and annoying. do you guys remember jozys assist against PSV where they won 3-0 (cant find a video). he controlled the ball and gave a very good reverse pass, guess what, everyone said it was a bad touch. you always have to give the payer benefit of doubt, you cant read his mind, imo it wasnt an intentional pass but he seemed to want to control the ball turn and maybe pass or shoot but when he saw borini coming at it he left it. not a bad touch of any kind.

I'm not sure whats worse. Jozy loving up so badly it led to Sunderland scoring or just scoring himself

It’s is frustrating watching Altidore play for Sunderland knowing he would be perfect playing with Ben Arfa and Remy as part of a front 3.

Our friends at Big Soccer haven't given up hope, it's still definitely not his fault. These are all within the past 24 hours.

quote:

I'm starting to change my tune about Altidore's time with Sunderland. After watching his brief appearance today, I have changed the blame from Altidore to the team that he plays for, IMO.

Altidore did his job well today. He came in to hold up the ball and act as a target forward, and did his job as well as you could have asked for. Altidore had absolutely no support up top, and did well given the situation most of the times that the ball was booted to him.

Reading big soccer, I couldn't believe some of the reactions. Some people were actually critiquing his play. Was Altidore supposed to dribble through the whole Manchester City defense with no help? Sunderland parked the bus, so Altidore had no help.

The reason that my tune has changed is I have realized the job that he has had to do. For instance today, he didn't have one attacking chance or wasn't in one threatening attacking position. I don't believe Altidore has had more than four or five quality attacking chances this year, and strikers don't finish every chance they get.

Altidore has probably had as many quality attacking chances this year with Sunderland as he had with AZ Alkmaar during a typical game. Strikers need to score goals in the league, but when you don't get attacking chances, you can't score goals. It doesn't matter if Messi or Ronaldo played for Sunderland, 5 attacking chances is 5 attacking chances. No one can score 10 goals with 5 chances. Jozy can't be blamed for not scoring goals when he doesn't get attacking chances.

quote:

I'd be curious how someone like Van Persie would do on this team. I'd wager he'd have a tough time breaking 10.

quote:

He hasn't threatened the goal because he doesn't get chances. Strikers that can't create on their own can't score ten goals with 5 chances. He is a striker that needs service to score goals, and he hasn't gotten that necessary service. How many good chances has he gotten this season? It can't be more than four or five. Tons of strikers miss four or five good chances in a row. For most strikers, thats called a bad game. Unfortunately for Altidore, thats a bad three months with Sunderland. He doesn't get proper service.

quote:

Whoever is defending Sunderland and accusing Jozy of not doing enough, you do realize Sunderland is the worst team in the Prem right? Hell, they might even be terrible in the Championship. Put Jozy on a team that plays actual football like Arsenal, Liverpool, Swansea, or even SoTo and he would be bagging goals.

A challenge to Jozy fans: explain in what way Jozy isn't utterly irredeemable dogturd because his record suggests he is. He's the pits. A real stinker.

He kicks the ball really hard and it goes past poo poo Jamaican players into the goal, which allows our country, the United States of America, to participate in the World Cup.

That's not really an argument against him being dogturd, or the pits, or a real stinker, but it explains why we love him so.

I read perhaps my favorite explanation for Jozy's goal scoring struggles:

"Jozy just has way too much composure upfront, he has this tendency to delay his shot and tends to take a touch too many upfront giving away chances."

This is devastating, have been waiting for weeks for Jozy’s chance to play in this final in rockin’ Wembley. Is Jozy injured? Is he sick? If not there is one possible explanation for the snub that comes to mind.

quote:

Great. I don’t think Jozy has gotten a pass like that all season. Borini scores and may stick at the striker spot. I think Gus only sees Jozy and Fletcher as a big, hold up player that have to play isolated hold up play. He puts little guys like Borini and Scocco in and lets them run in space facing goal as part of a unified front three. I don’t think Poyet watched any tape of Jozy at AZ. That kind of pass and play is exactly the type of service Jozy got at AZ and hasn’t gotten at Sunderland. Ugh, this is not good.
