Sunderland, Jozy And Defoe
- Thread starter Kjbert
- Start date
No one is arguing he didn't struggle in the EPL, but look at his goal scoring record in the Eredivisie and for the USMNT. Since I am assuming you probably don't have a clue what it is, i'll list it for you, he has started in 78 games for the national team scoring 26 goals and started 67 games for AZ Alkmaar scoring 39 times.
Defoe is still at 2 goals after 8 games. the 3 games you have listed is wrong.
Also, Jozy was 20 years old when he was at Hull. He has had no problem filling up the net for the national team, and that includes some key games. His goal against Spain in the Confed Cup was textbook.
I understand why English fans would be down on him, but Sunderland is a dumpster fire. Nobody was/is scoring goals there. The most so far this season by anyone is 4. Last season 8. You really can't gauge a player's ability when they are in such an impossible situation.

Are people defending Jozy's 2 goals in 70 EPL apps? Please tell me people aren't defending Jozy's 2 goals in 70 EPL apps.
No. People are putting it in context given his success in every other forum and the fact that nobody scores for Sunderland.
Jozy is not good enough for the EPL, there is no shame in that, not many people can play in a top league. The fact that we cannot find a striker to supplant him on the national team is embarrassing.
If Zardes keeps playing like he did last year, that'll happen soon enough.

Watching a team that has a striker who has the ability to make things happen, just get him the ball, makes nat games painful to think about.
I'll argue that most players in the EPL are not good enough for the EPL. The mother ship is doing a good job showing that, as are Defoe and Sunderland (for example).
He usually played 2 up top, he seems to like one tall target forward and one smaller faster one (Findley, Saborio/Plata, Saborio etc). Not sure he ever had someone the size of Nemec. Maybe Jamison Olave.
