Just scored for the US in a friendly against Denmark. 4 in his last 6 for the national team, apparently. Maybe time to ship him back to a European league?
Jozy Altidore - worst "striker" in the history of England?
- Thread starter Americano
- Start date
Legend.
Postiga didn't do to well there, did he?
Altidore 
I loved him on FM back in the day! Would always bring him in as a backup striker. Then again I always loved my odd backup forwards - a few years earlier Mark Viduka was a favorite too!

By that logic Lord Bendtner should be leading the line a United ... just when I hope the US can turn the corner they cough up a 2-1 lead and let Bendtner score two in 8 minutes to complete his hat trickJust scored for the US in a friendly against Denmark. 4 in his last 6 for the national team, apparently.

I know. I was just composing a miserable post about this... plus Tim Howard turning to crap.
"Altidore, roughly one-third as good as the worst striker to (barely) ever play for Arsenal."
I have visions of this guy leading the line for us alongside Jordan Rhodes.
In Premier League, 60 games, 2 goals.
In MLS this season, 1 game, 2 goals.

It is all about levels. It is also about psychological strength. A lot of players simply bottle it (lose confidence) when they are in a strong field.In Premier League, 60 games, 2 goals.

Such an underrated factor in sporting performance. A lad i know is a seriously good basketball player, can drive to the basket all will in training or against pub teams, then the second its a game of any importance he absolutely bottles it and does feckall.
I have that problem playing football. I don't know if I would describe myself as "seriously good" but I was certainly one of the best players in my school and played for the best team in the region when I was 10 or 11 years old. Seemingly Celtic were watching me for a while too. Anyway, I could tear it up in training, or playing with my mates, but I got incredibly nervous before actual matches, to the point where I was sometimes physically sick, could never eat breakfast on match-days and therefore barely contributed to games. I only played for a season after I got picked up by that team, then went back to just playing casually.
At around 14 years old, I went back because I was missing playing and hoped that I'd have maybe grown up a bit and got over the nerves issue, but the same thing happened. I stuck at it the second time around because I really loved playing, I just couldn't perform to the level that I (and all my team-mates) knew I could play at.
Miller did alright that season with Derby, he was one of their better players. Six goals for the season is poor, but a few of them were beauties (including a brilliant lob against Chelsea that was wrongly disallowed). He ploughed a lonely furrow in what was easily the worst team to have graced the top-flight in decades.
Altidore was a beast in PES 2009 (masterleague) though, real life doesn't always count anyways.
Their 1 win season was season where he scored only 4 goals ? they should have been banned from the EPL for 50 years for that abomination.
Wasnt Bradley Wright-Phillips MLS's leading goal scorer last season? even Altidore with his terrible record is like Messi in that league.
Yep, their best performance that entire season was a 1-0 loss at home to us. If they finish in the top two or win the playoffs this season the Premier League shouldn't allow them to come up.
He was indeed.
Sent off for swearing.
