Probably fair. Got to say I'm not impressed with him but he does seen to have to fight for every ball.My view is that he is being played completely incorrectly. He is battered every game with shite unimagative punts up to him.
He needs the kind of service where Gardner fucked up when it was 3 vs 1 and Jones got back in. If he had crossed it of course
Facing goal he will score goals.
But with 2 centre backs just pummeling the back of his head for 90mins will not get best out of him.
I can quite imagine that like a few of them, he's completely gutted he came here

Aerial duels won in first 5 games of the season: 29%

He doesn't win a lot in the air and when he does, he quite often can't bring one of our players into the game.
way to many haters on... yes I agree... emarrassingSome of our fans are f***ing embarrassing
How do those stats compare to other "more glamorous" strikers in the league? Genuine question, I'd quite like to know. My gut instinct is that those aren't that bad at all.Balls won in the air today: 4/10

passing accuracy could be misleading at times, specially if the player always chooses the easiest pass instead of trying to make important key passes to move the ball forward.His passing success of 64.6% this season ranks 285th out of 318 qualified players. Generally the last 20 or so are all goalkeepers but there are a few strikers here and there as well. Benteke is 60%, Giroud 61.3%. But van Persie has 80.5% this season, Sturridge 78%, Rooney 75%. I don't think you can make any conclusions about a striker's quality based on passing accuracy.
I couldn't be bothered to look up the aerial duels but wouldn't common sense dictate that the average is 50%? If that's true then Jozy's 29% is very poor.
MODS...You need to get this yank barred from this site.
There is always that one, just always, where ever you go in this planet, there is ALWAYS that one. Can't have a discussion, has to be like a little kid on the playground and go whine to the teachers and report people. Like I said, there is always that one, anywhere you go.
Generally there is only one..Altidore up front alone. Pretty hard to get high marks for passing acuracy when there's not a player from your team anywhere near you when you get the ball. RVP has a few more options..
lol I was talking about the guy trying to get me banned. Whats the point of having a forum if you can't even have differences of opinions?
Good thing for Altidore is he gets to go back and play with a real team next week, one that has an actual good midfielders and supporting cast, not this poor excuse of a soccer team known as sh*tterland
no yours. Tell your mom I said hi![]()
yes. I know..
I think Altidore is a decent player, lacking some confidence in front of goal of course. However as a lone forward, which 'cos of our midfield, he is going to remain, he is not such a gifted scorer that he will win games against the flow which is what Fletcher managed in the early part of last season. He is a lot like Heskey..and that is not a bad thing..Heskey was a very effective player but he was never a sniper of goals and i don;'t see Altidore being one either.
hahhahahaa your team is utter garbage. It should be you who should drive off a cliff for actually caring about this team. Don't be mad at me or Altidore. Im just telling you the truth.
Hmm. I'm a Yank, so naturally I know nothing about football and am writing this (barely, due to my apparent limited brainpower) while resting a bacon, beef, and bacon sandwich next to a 12-pack of Bud Light on my enormous beer belly.
Been following Sunderland for a few years now, as well as Jozy for a few years. I'm a fan of both, but I'm still pretty unbiased. My thoughts are simple:
1) Formation. What the hell is the formation? Not what it is supposed to be.. but what it actually is. It looks like an extremely old-school 4-5-1 - a formation that works only if you've got a Toni or a Ruud - but I doubt if either of them would have much chance with no service. I hate the formation, especially with the current players, and I don't see it leading to any sort of results no matter who the striker is.
2) That said, Jozy isn't playing well. He just isn't. His body language is poor and he's gotten frustrated and already lost his confidence. He's not taking people on and he's not shooting. He's better than that and he's not playing up to his skill level.
3) HOWEVER, who is playing well? Giaccherini is the ONLY player who's done an effing thing. Gardner is an opportunist and plays well for 17 seconds a game and turns into a useless ball-hog the rest of the game.
Finally... two things that piss me off on here. First, doesn't the team WANT new supporters? So, you pick up a popular American player, you're going to get new supporters. Can you only be a "proper" supporter if you have been one from birth? How would ANY foreign supporter be a Sunderland supporter from birth? That's just a weird perspective to me. So, seriously back off with the Yanks are dumb and Yanks can only produce goalkeepers because that's nonsense. I mean, I'm not impressed with the England squad and their current crop of players and I've met extraordinarily dumb people in every country I've lived in. Dumb people are universal. Like fat chicks. Second, to the Yanks who joined up and then starting insulting the club because people dare question Jozy... that's just dumb. That's probably the worst thing you could do... that doesn't do good for anyone.
