Offered so much more than Altidore tonight. It was a ridiculous decision to take him off while leaving Altidore on and was roundly, and rightly, booed.[DOUBLEPOST=1395878542][/DOUBLEPOST]

Bullshit, utter utter bullshit. His movement was on a different planet to Altidore, was easily our best attacking option until Johnson came on.
can't agree there like, he done okay as did altidore. Once wickham went off, altidore looked better playing through the middle alone. Held the ball up well.

Dont think either did much to be excited about tbh. Not a game i will judge wickham on though.
 
Again, bullshit.

Probably no more than a 6/10 performance tonight. Won a few, lost a few, but worked hard and generally offered a threat that Altidore hasn't all season. Every single one of us booed the decision to take him off, awful decision.
it was an awful decision that worked. Who knows if wickham would have done as well as altidore did in the last 15.

i would start wickham on monday so it's nowt against him.

Bullshit. Altidore second half contributed more than what Wickham done when he was on sorry.

Crazy decision , how is whickam supposed to get match fit at this level .
 
I was at the game and Whickham was much better than Altidore. That was quite easy in that Altidore gave a performance of lumbering ineptitude. Why he wasn't subbed is beyond me.

Altidore in the last 15 mins ? He made a couple of passes in between giving away more stupid fouls?
If we have got that desperate that people are actually rating his performance at any stage of that game then we have all lost the plot.

i thought his last part was more than wickham had done previously. As i said, not a night where i will judge wickham properly.

Well it didn't did it , look where altidore was when oshea flicked that ball on , not even in the six yard box.

aye only due to the mob loathing of Altidore, him remaining on. no reflection on Wickham's performance

I didn't think either did that much, but the comparison between the two wasn't even close IMO. Even with the limited possession we had, his movement off the ball and goal threat was miles ahead of Jozy's.

Simple enough really, every single fan in the ground was baffled at the substitution.
 
I can only assume that Jozy's level is generally so incredibly bad, that when he successfully completes a basic pass people rave about how well he played.
This.
We have a centre forward that has been so bad for 30 odd games that he is being applauded for 2 or 3 passes , no shots , no assists , no free kicks gained , holding the ball up twice , all this in 90 mins?
God help us all.
 
For the amount of money for Wickham we could have signed Borini, Ki and money left to give Mannone a bonus.

No just the truth. He was better than Wickham tonight, if you don't see thAt your either clueless or hate him where you can't admit it.
