We missed Altidore today

'We missed Altidore' - what a depressing statement that is; akin to my Grandad missing Hitler. Even more depressing is it's probably true.
 
Stupid boy.

Defended Altidore all season, but he is indefensible now. He is just shite. He shouldn't be, he's strong, quick enough and occasionally shows hints of possessing a heart. But he is atrocious here, and will never score goals in this league sadly.

If the Hitler comment offended, fair enough. Ill-thought and unnecessary.
 
Is this joker for real!

Flumpty bore is a massive fraud. Should be locked up for fraud as he is paid thausands for claiming to be able to play football.
Its like a bloke stating he is a bricklayer built a house once somewere no one was watching and now employed by a respectable company his first wall is knocked down by a giaccarini shoulder charge.
The fucker would be peddled in a crack and would be bumped wages.
This clown will never make a footballer as long as av got a hole in me arse.

Mags would love nothing more than for us to get shot of Altidore, as you can see here. Was funny that he made a mockery of your lot, twice.
 
Just to put things into perspective DOZY has probably earned $30,000 for sitting on his arse since this thread was stated yesterday.
 
Because of your incompetent manager and ignorant supporters, of course.

I defended Jozy for a long time, as I thought he'd turn a corner with a goal or 2. He hasn't, and he is an absolute empty shell of a man at the moment.
I accept it's difficult playing the CF role in our side, but it's nothing to do with our manager, who has done a very good job on the whole.
Altidore must accept responsibility for his own failures, he's been laughable at times.

To be honest I thought he had accepted that, never got this "bad attitude about his play" idea everyone seems to have, and I did read his interview (didn't see anything between the lines either). Honestly he seems to be one of the lads that really wished he could shine for the club, which is more than I'd say for 2/3rds of this mercenary squad of wankers.

I just don't think he will work in this team, period, or really this league. Can't cut it.

It's too early to write him off.
 
Jozy needs a change of mentality. He needs to increase his work-rate and run down every balls and close-down any opposition players near him hard.
Maybe he's going to have to lose the bulk to be more agile on his feet.

His biggest problem is he's not a technical player and he's not an "effort" player....For what he lacks technically, he needs to make it up with work-rate and effort....He has to be willing to run through a brick wall to get to balls. His style of football is way too "easy going". He needs to adopt a bit of "Andy Carroll" in him to make up for his technical deficiencies.

Unless he can change his mentality, I don't see how he can succeed in England...Defenders in England are fighters and wrestlers...If you can't get around them with pace and technical abilities, you have to fight/wrestle with them...Jozy has the body to do so, but he doesn't have the right mentality yet...Maybe he will never develop such a personality/mentality, but there's no doubt if he can, he would make himself a huge nuances to PL defenders.

Fair assessment.

I think some tend to overlook his technical ability because of his size/strength - they get distracted. He's not nearly as poor technically as he's made out to be here.
 
St Joes, if Jozy gets a start Saturday vs Palace and effectively holds the ball up, creating space and opportunities for teammates - yet doesn't score - what will your assessment be?

I predict that most here will say that Scocco or someone else should get his minutes if we win - as Jozy "isn't good enough" - and if Sunderland lose, that he's "shite."

If he does that and creates chances for others and basically has a decent game then I will give him the credit he deserves
