Do I believe in jozy? Yes. I think he's still our best forward. Do I believe in jozy at Sunderland? No. It doesn't fit. They're midfield seems to want to score more than setup the forwards and jozy seems as though he's given into that and has forgotten he should score first not assist. It's backwards and he's regressing. Leave. Epl isn't everything.

quote:

Saw the game, it's now obvious that Sunderland does not give Jozy justice. Long balls that lose possession. Poor ball handling and passing which loses possession. Midfield having the same level of creativity to that of a 3 year old. God that game was exhausting.
GET OUT JOZY! Screw Poyet, and Sunderland. It's the Titanic of the EPL and the end result will be the Championship. Come to the MLS or back at Holand. Your career is not over, YOU ARE 24 YEARS YOUNG!!! Let this be a lesson to you and NEVER join a weak EPL team again.

quote:

He needs to go to a place where he is respected, where he will be given the oppurtunity, where he can rediscover his scoring touch. Because to be honest, the guy who can lead the US out of this group is Jozy Altidore. Not Donovan, or Bradley, or Dempsey, or Howard. It's Altidore. And each and every USMNT wants, and needs, a hot, confident, warrior, in Jozy Altidore.

He's Scouse, He's Sound.
Then, in the summer of 2011, Altidore made the full-time switch to AZ Alkmaar, where he cultivated his skills en route to becoming one of the deadliest goal scorers on the planet before being transferred in July of 2013 to Sunderland of the English Premier League.

I get where Altidore is coming from when he plays. I see why he's frustrated and it isn't coming off for him. He's in a place where he's expected to just play in individual beast mode. "Shut your mouth and head in the ball no matter where we send it. Don't bother me with your checking and showing and combining."

But he is a player that wants to play pretty soccer and exchange the ball quickly. He gets confused and frustrated when that type of movement isn't recognized and reciprocated. He's not mentally built to play long ball or "me vs. the world." I get that. Some players are built to function within a team that plays soccer.

3rd Place, TRP Sack Race 2021/22
Whatever you do do not pass a running Jozy the football, as if the ball moving and he is moving then he cannot control it and will fall over and break his bones. If he is standing still, play him only the gentlest of passes and even then only do so if you have made sure his mood is amiable and he has first had his afternoon snack. Should Jozy successfully trap the ball, congratulate him and warmly encourage him to nudge it towards the goal. If he has not fallen over by this point and the football remains at his feet, request that the opposing team's goalkeeper politely step aside so that Josmer may have a fair attempt at scoring a goal.

I don't think stats are very useful in isolation in soccer, but there is something kind of, I don't know, interesting when you look at whoscored's Dispossession and Turnover stats: The HIGHER your Dispossession and Turnovers, the more likely you are to score. Say WHAT? One of those things that make you go "hmmmm." In fact, you could argue that Jozy's relatively LOW disp and turnover rate indicate one of his big problems is being TOO careful on the ball, and therefore not taking the low percentage chances that, when taken enough, get you a goal. But then you would notice he has just about the exact same Disp and TO rate as other S'land strikers and you realize: It the F'ing TEAM!!!! oh, wait. Did I say that out loud? Of course, some players get more overall chances so burning a few with high payoff, low percentage moves is not such a big deal. Here's some average stats courtesy of your friends at whoscored.

Crouch: Total goals: 8 Disp/game 2.4 TO/game 2.7
Benteke: total goals: 10 Disp/game 2.2 To/game 2.6
Suarez: tot goals: 28 Disp/game 2.1 TO/game 2.6
Rodriguez: Total goals: 13 disp/game: 2 TO/game 2.5
Sturridge: Tot goals: 19 Disp/game 1.9 TO/game 2.2
remy: tot goals 13 Disp/game 1.5 TO/game 2.2
Bony: total goals 11 Disp/game 1.7 To/game 2.1
Fletch: total goals 3 disp/game 1.2 TO/game 1.7
Gia: total goals 3 disp/game 1.8 TO/game 1.6
Lukaku tot goals 12 disp/game 1.7 TO/game 1.5
Altidore: Total goals 1 Disp/game 1.3 To/game 1.3
van Wolfs Total Goals 1 Disp/game 0.8 TO/game 1.3
Borini: total goals 3 Disp/game 1.1 TO/game 1
Bent: Total goals: 3 Disp/game 0.5 TO/game 0.7
Scocco: total goals 0 disp/game 0.7 TO/game 0.7

Again, I would not make too much of this, but I would suggest if you are going to float some half-arsed theory based "on your eyes" maybe you should get your eyes checked.

And maybe, just maybe, goals scored has something to do with number of chances...

So what the hell is a turnover?

Turnover (basketball), when a player from one team gives possession to the opposing team by losing the ball without taking a shot
Turnover (gridiron football), in American football when the offense loses possession of the football because of a fumble, interception, or on downs
