Who would you all pick? There's some real poo poo gems that have played. Afonso Alves was bad, for example. Marlon Harewood got double figures once.

Shola. At least he could score in derby matches

On that showing I'm not sure the Geordie Nation would qualify from CONCACAF if it was an actual nation with flags and laws and everything. I definitely tip Big Joze to score in the return fixture.

Hmm Ive studied the movement of the ball, and it looks to me like the deftness of Jozy's touch and the spin he puts on was instrumental in allowing Borini to set up such a sharp outswinging finish. Also it was lovely to see the team celebrate like they did against their big club derby rivals. Twice I saw Jozy get in amongst the Mackem faithful, it was amazing.

Because I love Jozy and really want to see my favourite club in the North East doing well. Ofc Id prefer it if he was scoring the goals, but a quality assist and MOTM performance is awesome all the same.

I'll definitely be tipping Jozy next time I'm up north. As an American I assume his pay is performance related so he must barely be getting by, poor lad. Just enough for a plane ticket to get the gently caress out of our league, mind.

That is a proper poor touch. The ball's hardly moving at pace, he watches it all the way, then puts it miles out of his own reach.

I will never forget Carlton's purple patch under Zola. There's a good footballer buried somewhere under the complete and utter inability to win a header.

I was thinking about this in relation to Torres and I guess it surprises me how much mentality comes into it, as if the thing that sets out professionals from others so massively is mentality and mindset, perhaps more than ability or physical aspects at the very top. This sounds pretty silly to say by virtue of perhaps being a bit simplistic/obvious but I hope someone gets what I'm trying to say.
