Jozy Altidore is one of the problems - unfortunately.
I rate him as a footballer but as an out and out striker he will not score 10 goals a season - he simpoly isn't the type of player to do that. Good link up man, good at winning the ball and holding it up, but not great when it comes to finishing from what I've seen of him. (PLEASE prove me wrong Jozy)

I take heart from it, shows are performances are good we just need to team to click. some good refereeing would be nice as well mind you - how much better would the mood be now if we had got a point for arsenal and liverpool?
Exactly this, If brown had actually have been fit I think we would have more points.On the pitch I think it's clear our problem is defencive frailties. Conceding first and constantly being opened up chasing the equaliser.
Though he is struggling at the moment with goals, I have a hard time seeing how he cant get 10 goals a season when he look at his record in Holland and in international games. I wouldnt demand 20 goals a season form him but 10 goals is reasonable.
Only thing I take heart from mate is points on the board and wins. The refs cost us against Arsenal yes but not against Liverpool, our own players didn't even appeal for the handball and the ref just didn't see it.
As for JOS I could stand around all game pointing and shouting which if you watch him is all he does.
Still reckon if we are playing well then we should be getting points from games, mind you the Fulham game blew that out the water.
Funny how players can be considered good one week, then bad the next. JOS hasnt been brilliant so far this season (being partnered with another slow CD doesnt help him) but last season we were singing his praises.
not singling you out for that comment mind, just pointing out a general observation. seems its easy for a player to lose a good rep after a few games, but its damn hard to lose a bad one even if they play well.
Points on board is what we need, but as I said we are not far off getting those points imo. A bit of luck and a DM making our spine a bit stronger will pull us out of the rut. mind you, i always try to stay positive, go mental if i didnt

Thing is mate I've never rated JOS from day one he has had a few decent games but we need better from the so called experienced pros at the club.
Had a chat with another lad about him last year and with or without him we gained the same number of points (it's probably worse with now mind).
Defence is where we have struggled for the last 3 seasons mate, yes you can point to the clean sheets but we were still **** as a team barring the odd good result.
Big job for the new man when he eventually gets here that is.![]()
