re: Rumor: Jozy Altidore is no longer in Poyet's plans

When he gets hot, he usually gets really hot. At least he's playing well enough, when not scoring much right now, for Poyet to point out how well he's been playing. He might be just blowing smoke so Jozy doesn't get down on himself. But either way, he's right. He has been playing well. And hopefully he gets hot and can carry it into this summer.

Barring something unforeseen, he will play every minute in Brazil. And I just can't see us getting out of the group and making some noise in the knockout rounds without him scoring goals and contributing with the rest of his game that looks to have developed pretty well. I'm a bit of a Jozy apologist, admittedly. But I think what I'm saying is right.
