Liked his motor/intensity. Seems to have that 'dog and his ball' mentality.I feel cursed. There is no team I enjoy watching less on the planet than Sunderland and every single year, some Yank abroad is playing there
Here is a nice video that compiles Gooch's touches and defensive positioning for his first game for Sunderland. Given the opponent and his debut, I thought he played fairly well.

Seems quite comfortable w/ the ball at his feet and trying to beat players off the dribble. Not something we see often in a Yank. (He did lose possession doing this several times.)I feel cursed.

he is only 20.
If Yedlin did nothing else with his skill set from now and until he retires, if he just added adequate crossing to his skill set, he could be a 6-8 year pro in a top league like the EPL.
He may not be that tall, but from that stream he looks like hes quite thick in the upper body. (Or it was a flaw in the way my screen maximized.)
yeah he is not frail at all. You could combine DMB, Green and Zelalem's upper body and come in around what Gooch has
huh... I've always been impressed with Arriola's skills and decision-making, more of a sly player than what I've seen of Gooch (which isn't that much- youth US). Gooch strikes me as a connor casey type of guy. head-down, go at you, try to be in the right place type of player with determination and runs more than ball skills.
hmmm- interesting question. maybe ask in one of myriad other threads that are EPL related... or- start a new thread?
I don't think so - with a caveat.
I read that Jozy scored.... thanks for that link- loved seeing the fire in his eyes after that goal. really hoping he can get back into the fold with that kind of play. partnered with woods could pay some nice dividends for the nats.
He started at the 8 in Vincent Nogueira's vacated spot. Played about 70 minutes.
or transfer... from his "camp". based on non-inclusion in the supercup.
nice - to this point, all I had heard was "international CB"... which they need... badly. I have to think he'd play 90 minutes every game there.
At CB, he is either going to play 90 or 0.
That being said, if the following is true as well... 0 is more likely :(
for the most part, yes. Obviously teams can put a decent amount of pressure on the player by simply telling him they have no plans for him in their future and if he wishes to rot in the reserves, he can.Ned said:
