I dont think he is nearly as effective when he is the one checking back or making runs over the top to get the ball. I like when Jozy checks back and is able to lay it off to Dempsey and Bradley running onto it. I think our attack is at its best when that is happening.
We gotta have our MIDs get the ball to the FWDs though. As much as they have been coughing up the ball, I'm not sure they can get Jozy the ball. Hopefully, and surely, the slump will expire soon!
I haven't liked how Jozy has been playing. I don't see much activity from him. I have thought he's only worth running onto a ball that's played in a direction to him. I don't like a lot of his movement -- but, I also don't like a 2 FWD system. I haven't seen too many 2 American FWDs who can work together, like they should, in a system like that. Most of the time, their movement isn't together like it should be. Jozy is part of that problem, to me. He fell out of favor at Sunderland because of his lack of productivity. But...I root for him. I want him to do good. I just get bummed when I see his movement and seemingly low soccer IQ.
