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

“There is a lot more to him than goals. Against Newcastle he must have been a nightmare to play against. Genuinely, I thought he was awesome”

“If you play like that as a striker but you don’t score goals, to be honest it doesn’t really matter, because the amount of chances he created for us, his team-mates and his work-rate, tells its own story.

“He pushed and pulled the Newcastle centre-halves all over the place and showed power, strength and pace. He was unplayable at times and his performance was outstanding.

“I said to him ‘If you keep playing like that, getting into great positions and playing well then the goals will come.’ It is when you are not playing well that the goals never happen and you won’t score.”
