themanupstairs Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 For reference, Altidore is dead to me as soon as this 2 week International break ends and he ends back up in Sunderland. Sorry like, I was reporting what I saw in the flesh last night. He runs around a lot, but has zero effectiveness as a forward. The way he was played last night he looked to me like a very modest battering ram who has no clue what to do once the ball has come to him. He does give a mean lay off, but offered nothing else. To be fair, the US were absolutely woeful going forward in general. As someone mentioned (Deuce?) that Johansson looked quite handy coming on, and I remember him getting hold of a first time volley that was blocked on the line? His movement alone when he came on caused Ukraine a lot more problems than Altidore did the entire match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Altidore continue to struggle, it might necessitate a tactical switch to 4-4-2, which the U.S. has had success with in the past couple years. Pairing Altidore with a player just off his shoulder like Dempsey, Donovan, or Johannsson would probably benefit him. But it would leave us thin through midfield against teams with very good midfields at the WC. In a perfect world, Altidore regains some of the confidence and form he had last year, when he was capable of playing as a lone striker (and could score). But I don't know if that's going to happen between now and June. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know if that's going to happen between now and June. Altidore is having a Papiss Cisse type decline in form; where absolutely nothing is coming off for him in front of goal. Look at the type of goals he scored when he was playing in the Dutch league, but more-so for USA when he was in his rich vein of form. He was scoring headers, poachers, screamers, volleys, and even free kicks. He's actually perfectly fine holding the ball up, laying balls off and being a link-up player at the moment but he's worthless in front of goal. IMO, Johansson needs to be starting as he seems the most unique, explosive and classy goal threat we have at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see a Donovan-Johannsson-Zusi front 3, with Dempsey given a free role behind the line. We sacrifice physicality and hold-up play for movement and fluidity, but Johannsson is more technically proficient and in far better form than Altidore. I just don't know if Klinsmann will drop Altidore any time soon. He seems to favor having a big target guy up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Scored some 50 goals for AZ over 2 seasons and scored like 8 goals for the USA before he joined Sunderland. So yeah, we're all a little concerned about him as we need this b****** to play well this summer. Well aware the Dutch league isn't up to par, but his good form was translating in excellent international appearances where he was scoring all types of goals.

KaKa Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Altidore shouldn't have joined Sunderland. Not a good fit at all. He's a striker that needs a succession of chances to get into a rhythm so to speak. He won't be effective feeding off of a few scraps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It was embarrassing knowing your country was taking Emile Heskey to the World Cup, can't imagine the pain of taking that worthless freak Altidore.

Guest n4e Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Anyone have his record between all his time spent here, Turkey and Spain? I'm sure he was averaging something like 1 in 20 in the league. Seems a bit harsh on Heskey to compare him to this joker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 If he were 29 years old, you'd have a point. However, he's just now 24 and only started to get regular playing time when he went to the Eredivisie two years ago. He left MLS way too soon and it stunted his development.
